Nice video! Just a small note, we don’t call things that you’re not “allowed” to do “illegal” unlike what you showed once; in Swedish, “olaglig” is reserved for things breaking the law or as an exaggeration. Instead, “otillåten” is used, best translate as ”not allowed”. Exemple: “Illegal robbery” = “olagligt rån” ”Illegal tackle” = ”otillåten tackling” I don’t remember exactly where in the video this happened, but I believe it was when you talked about it being ungrammatical to drop subjects.

Great video 👍 A few points: Different dialects and sociolects have wildly different phonologies, but nothing new there. There used to be several distinct languages (also nothing new there), and to some extent different swedishes are still mutually unintelligible, such as närpesmål, norsjömål, and some skånska dialects/folkmål Also, Elfdalian (älvdalska) and Gutnish (gutamål) are separate languages, on separate branches of the Nordic language family tree, Gutnish forming its own branch, and Elfdalian as a part of the west Nordic languages. That being said, mutual intelligibility says that Norwegian and Gutnish are too similar to Swedish and Danish to be classified as distinct anymore (Norwegian was replaced by Danish as lingua Franca in Norway for centuries, that's why Norwegian/Danish/Swedish are all so similar, though Elfdalian and "non-standard" Norwegian, along with the other insular Nordic languages retain their distinctiveness) Keep in mind many languages are still natively spoken here too, such as Elfdalian, Meänkieli, various Sami languages, Tornedalian Finnish, "regular" Finnish, Scandoromani, and Gutnish (of those I know), not to mention the endemic languages of myriad immigrant ethnic communities, and myriad folkmål that were well on their way to being separate languages before the homogenisation That being said: Swedish is one of the more homogeneous languages in western Europe, from what I gather. Similar to Denmark, our period of homogenisation in the 1800's was part of a people's movement, and not a landowner's one, and so there isn't the same aspect of class in dialects that there is in say English or French, since education wasn't gentrified in that way

I think it's interesting that the two verbs that get an unexpected "-ck" in past tense (gå and få), originally were part of a larger pattern, but it's impossible to spot in Swedish because the endings are shortened. In Old Norse, the word for "to go/walk" was "ganga", but this was shortened to "gå" in the Scandinavian languages, presumably influenced by Low German. "Få", comes from Germanic "fanhana" or something like that, but "h"-sounds in the middle of words were lost early on, and already in Old Norse it was just "fá". But more verbs that had roots ending in -ng or -nh came to have past tense forms in -kk. If you look at Icelandic for example, "hanga" (to hang) becomes "hekk" in past tense, while "springa" (to run) becomes "sprakk". What is even more fun is that in the Scandinavian languages, "sprakk" was repurposed as a whole new verb with the meaning of "to burst" or "to crack". Thus you get Swedish "spricka", which is "sprack" in past tense.

I can also add, I wish you would have added the distinction Swedish makes between directional adverbs because that does not exist in English. When you are heading home, it is hem, but if you are already home it is hemma. If I am going away I am going bort, but if I am already away in the destination of travel I am där borta.

Was just linked your video by a friend. It's an interesting video, well done. As for the translation of must. I've never heard of the "Må and Måtte" versions. I grew up only knowing of one word which "Must" is translated into, the word "Måste". Btw, I am curious how a foreigner would consider the Gothenburg dialect, since while there's an overlap, it'll have the complexity of normal Swedish, but would have so much slang that changes how you speak it. I never really thought about the complexity of Swedish though, since I grew up with it.

Gud stoff! I'm a bit late to the party, but gotta still say it's always interesting to listen to people outside the circle of Swedish influence speaking of it. I was placed to a _språksbadklass_ at six years old and did my seven first years of schooling mostly (and the three following partly) in Swedish, so now as a language guy I guess I get to count myself lucky. Fun fact: the " /sk/ of certain positions" mentioned in the Germanic video is still pronounced in the Finnish Swedish dialects as [ʃ]. You should also find out about Närpesiska, the supposedly most ancient living form of Swedish.

As a Swede the question has always been on my mind if there is any sort of reason to it or way to try and alleviate some struggle for anyone trying to learn. While it's true that the gender of words is quite random, as a VERY loose rule of thumb I think that "common" words (-en) tend to refer to natural concrete things and "neuter" (-et) is more abstract. Virtually all animals end in -en, the only exception I can even think of is lejonet or "ett boskap", which is more the abstract idea of animals you keep for livelihood (mostly refers to cattle these days). "Det" is what we use to describe any abstract situation like in "det är bra" or "det hade varit". Take for instance the sentence "fisken är kall" vs "fisken har det kallt".

Den nya generationen kommer säkert använda "hen" i alla sammanhang. Logiskt sett är det ju ett väldigt användbart ord.
