5 Swedish words ONLY Swedish people will Understand 

underbart. im smiling so much. i lived in sweden for long enough to know all these words. swedish was a bit hard at first but after a few beers i became fluent and after a while i didnt need the beer. 🇸🇪🇮🇪

One of my favourite swedish words is smultronställen ❤

Wow, I'm such a fan! I'm a dentist and you explained this about treats and teeth very well. Including talking about that terrible unethical experiment. You're amazing, I learn Swedish and you don't know it but I was there a short time ago and I was running after someone who I thought was you because I was dying to say hello. I'm brasilian and I love you and your vídeos!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Omg, those googly eyes animations are epic 😂👌

You are GREAT, Daniella! Yag älskar Stockholm, Sverige och språket. You, as a a native Stockholmer get us updated on slangs and that is amazing. Tack så mycket Fran Brasilien. José

I love the word slö, which I suppose you could translate as sluggish, but it just feels slightly different when I use slö, and sluggish just doesn't seem like it quite captures the meaning entirely. But it's so much fun to say, slö!

I was in Mora in 2021 on the opening day of the Snowmobile season and there were tons of retro American cars there. I was blown away as an American who lives in the Midwest and grew up around car culture it was so surprising and awesome to me. Thanks for letting me know that it’s called Raggare 😊

In Finland we use also only one word for hinna=ehtiä. Vabba is also a consept but we have no special word for it and we get 100% of the pay for it. Closest similar meaning to fredagsmys could be pizzaperjantai. Lördagsgodis is also the same here but it is called Karkkipäivä and the lösgodis are Irtokarkki.

Lagom is the most Swedish word ever. It's the most vague way of expressing something other than your personal preference and it can be used for almost anything. You can't even argue about it because it's a completely biased opinion. Very funny and very Swedish if you think about it.

Love these videos, Daniela! Tack från USA.

A great little program. Thank you. As a Dane, speaking resonable Swedish, I learned a few interesting details specifically Vabba and Vibeholm. I find that Swedish 'Mys' and Norwegian 'Kos' as consepts are very close to Danish 'Hygge'. ' Hygge' being a little broader and even less specific. Swedish 'fika' would easily be put under Danish 'hygge'. But making things warm, cosy, relaxed and pleasant in the long wet and/or cold winters is an 'essential survival skill' in the Nordic countries. Any Nordic person would recognise it and fit in anywhere, thought we use different words and like discussing the irrelevant differences. And by the way the Danish car prices are FAR too high for extra cars, and always has been, so NO 'raggerare'.

Now I know the term for those middle-aged people in cool retro cars I see in Helsinki and Åland! My local friend also expressed his annoyance about the lack of single-word versions of "orka" and "hinna" in English :D

Thanks for the video. I liked the information on how Swedes spend their Friday. Please make more videos about way of living in Sweden, what's common to do during the weekend specially during fall and winter and any other habitual and cultural topic that helps living better in Sweden. It's fun to learn Swedish words with Swedish culture.

Im so happy to have come across this video! I just learned "hinner" on Duolingo but Duo doesn't really explain anything so I was having a terrible time wrapping my head around it. This helps so much!

Jag uppskattar verkligen hur du förklarar många enskilda fraser, hur man använder dem, i vilka situationer och hur man bygger en mening på svenska för att vara artig. Man kan få många värda information om land och kultur också. Bra jobbat! Jag fångar din positiva personlighet. Hälsningar 👌

your videos are so funny. very good job to your editors lol

Thanks for the information, very interesting video.

Tack! Det är en intressant video 😊

In connection to vabba there's also vobba, which means to be home with a sick child but working from home. Called vobba since it sounds both like vab and jobba (=to work).

Note to people: Raggsockor is NOT related to the raggare-concept!

absolutely love this

We don't have a fancy verb for VAB here in Norway, but we do have the same concept; we'll just put "syke barn" (sick children) or "hjemme med syke barn" (home with sick children) in our Slack status. I'm pretty sure it's mostly the same rules and financing as for your own sickness with "egenmelding" (lit. "own reporting" which is short term up to 3 days, paid by the employer) and "sykemelding" (lit. "sick reporting", which is a doctor's note and paid by the government).

Danielle som wlsys du gör ett underbart jobb! 😊

Fika= coffeebreak, lagom=proper/ suitable, vabba=skive, hinna=manage, fredagsmys= friday chill ( slob out) , lördagsgodis = saturday sweets - swedish always insist these words don't exist in English but they are being typically pedantic 😅 Swedish words jäss, typ, liksom, röda tråd, fann, najs, jävla, fy fann, chill

Yes, we saw a raggare in Stockholm, thank you Daniella!😃😉😊

Lördagsgodis is an interesting concept. I never liked candies much, but I love chocolate and sugary pastries; so much so that I got addicted to sugar in a dark period of my life in 2017. Since sugar is a natural part of human diets, I figured eliminating it would not be the best way out (plus I love it so much), so instead I limited myself to a single sweet meal every day. And that is usually a late afternoon meal, such as right now, when I get to sit down, drink a glass of milk, eat some homemade cookies and watch Fun Swedish!

now i know why Arne in " så som i himmelen" drove that retro car

There was a big (for the size of the place!) meet in town last time I was there. Several old police cars and american taxis. Very odd. Not many old European cars, though, which is what I like. :(

Great Video! Tack så mycket! My favorite word without any direct translation is "ströga" :D And YES i like EPA-Dunk its great to learn swedish :D :D hälsingar från tyskland

Mack is a confusing word, I knew it means gas station (bensinstation) but I had to google the origin of the word which comes from a company that manufactured gasoline pumps. Then there is this euphemism ensamkommande flyktingbarn (unaccompanied refugee child).

I'm Swedish, and had never heard of "Vabba". I knew that VAB = "vård av barn", but vabba was a new one for me. I guess it could be because I don't have kids...

We have the consept of lördagsgodis here in Finland too. And we have lösgodis even in the smallest of grocery stores here, of course the bigger the store, the bigger the selection. We also have a lot of old American cars and a similar raggare culture here, although we don't have a name for it and the word raggari means a sort of a rebel in Finnish. Big car shows and gatherings are more common outside bigger cities just like in Sweden. But at least in my city in Northern Finland we have these common showing off places where you just have to drive to if you have a special car and it happens to be a nice summer evening ☀🛻🚙. I've heard that the amount of older American cars here has something to do with some trade agreement with USA in the 50's or 60's. Maybe there is a similar reason in Sweden and the cultures were born at the same time when many Finns moved or worked for a while in Sweden especially in the 60's and 70's.

As someone of Swedish descent, but didn't grow up there - jag hatar hinna/hinner - I have terrible time management & I really can't help it sometimes, so that word makes me feel guilty 🫠 I remember learning it & being like "that one is not for me" ...I do like that it compounds what would be a few words in English though, so it is a time-related word that saves time

Czech republic has OCR. It means the samé thing, caring About family member. Ošetřování člena rodiny. Nice to see some similar stuff i my country and country the language I am learning.

Här i Finland har vi något som brädar "Fredagsmys" kalsarikännit. Kalsarikännit innebär att man sitter ensam, vanligtvis, och super i underkläder. Here in Finland we have something better than "Fredagsmys", kalsarikännit, kalsarikännit means to be alone and get wasted in just underwear.

Saturday is my candy buying day too....but i usually save some to eat throughout the week too

So Swedes love Sweets. Noted. Tack ska du ha!

A recently learned one for me was Hakon Bakon 😁

days of the week in swedish: måndag, tisdag, lil lördag, taco torsdag, fredagsmys, lördagsgodis, sondag. 😂

Jag visste 3 av 5 ord innan jag såg videon, så jag är nog lite svensk nu😂😏Jag älskar ditt röda hår, du är som en höst sol som alltid lyfter upp stämningen😌

Thx a lot! I like "byxor". Sounds like estonian "püksid" and the german "Buxe".

I've never heard of Klamydiamåndag (though as a (half-)Swede I obviously knew the rest), but then I'm a 32 year old virgin nerd who doesn't get out much, so I guess I'm not really the target demographic.

Brilliant girl❤! Brilliant teacher😊!!! God luck😊!!!!

Tack :)

Hej Daniella, jag behöver lite Tisdagsmys (ja, det är Tisdag idag :D) med många lösgodis idag! Tack så mycket för dina nya videor som alltid!

Would you consider doing a video on negative and positive emotions in Swedish?

Daniela - Jag älskar dina videor! Förresten, vad är/dina favoritsvenska godisar? Jag personligen gillar salt lakrits (dubbelzout, Djungelvrål, (allt med salmiak i det), men gillar också sura fruktgodisar. Och så har vi hallonstick (är inte säker på om jag stavar det rätt 😉) som du förmodligen vet - den amerikanska versionen av Swedish Fish är ganska tråkig. IKEA utvidgar nu i det området 👏

Tack🌹🌷🌺

In Norwegian we have the word "dugnad", which is a concept that doesn't have an English translation. It's when all the people in the apartment building get a day off work to clean up the apartment building.

Raggare come from a word that's a few hundred years old and that's ragga. It come from horse-drawn carriage the "taxi" in the old days. They tried to get people to ride with them and in swedish that's named ragga upp. Cruising around with the old american cars and try to pic up girls is the same att ragga. The old american cars are also called jänkare here.

I heard a pretty funny mistake but I understand why the person who was learning Swedish thought the way he did. He said “jag gillar sjunger” Thinking “sjunger” meant sugar

My own list of seven words would be * Fika * Lagom * Vabba * Hinna * Fredagsmys/lördagsgodis * Raggare * Dansband "Klamydiamåndag" I have never ever heard. Googling on it it seems to be a campaign. I do not understand why it is mentioned in the video. "Ragga" is just the English term "Pick up (a girl)". Nothing special Swedish to do. Raggare is a Swedish sub culture though that is kind of Swedish, or American lookalike.

In Finland you actually get 100% of your salary if you are home caring your sick child. The closes counterpart of "fika" in Finnish is "kahvitella" (to have a coffee break), which usually means drinking coffee but may include also other ways of having a break, e.g. drinking tea, juice, eating bakeries etc.

I make videos about Raggarbilar . Tank you for enplane what Raggare is !

När du uttryck "chips" du låtar som du säger det engelskt ord för får (sheeps)! Rätt sätt att säga "ch" är samma ljud som "church" på engelska. (Ch-) "ips" är nästa samma ljud nar man säger "it's". 😊

I like it, I have some difficulties to find some cakes for min ficka

hej ett ord som vobba vobba - arbeta hemifrån medan man tar hand om sjukt barn 🥰😍😘

I have never used lördagsgodis to describe plockgodis. For me, the "lördagsgodis" just implies any candy that is meant for Saturday so the kids won't eat candy on the other days.

7:35 A typical Swedish family

❤

7:56 Does the 'Ch' t͡ʃ present in Swedish or not?

Det Norrländska jakande ordet "Schuuup" och det besvikna ordet "sty" borde kvala in här.

Ja på inandning ;)

Vi ses väldigt många raggaror här i Borås på sommarerna

Är mora en små stad staden som vasa loppets mål

Min Mama var från Finland och hun bärattarde ochså från Raggare 😂och jag sår dem ochså senare ,hun komm av en liten stan i närheten av Hesingfors ...min cusin fick ochså alltid Lördagsgodis 😅 för mig ,när jag var liten ,var det underligt,när dett fins dett inte i Tyskland 😂😂😂😂😂

❤❤❤❤❤🎉

Sorry but I can't help but nitpick. The pronunciation of Vipeholm is as if it was spelled with two P. Not sure if this is a Skåne thing since it's the same with Ramlösa. If you say ram as in a bears paw the locals will turn into angry bears 😆 Edit: quick edit my Swedish teacher wife informed me that the i Vipeholm actually is somewhere in-between a long and short i. The issue here is probably because the weight is placed on "holm" and not "vip". ❤

nostalgidagarna haha

har aldrig hört nån uttala g:et i fredagsmys 💀

Raggare finns visst utomlands. De kallas för Greaser i USA, Rocker i England och för Bodgie eller Widgie i Australien. Men dem är nog vanligast i Sverige. 😀

Vårkänslor är det finaste Svenska ordet!

😿

Godis är ett engelsk ord och kommer från Goodies = godsaker

Raggare är en tradition i var området
