It's also interesting to see similarities with words that are related in meaning but are not quite the same! For example: spöke (ghost) / spooky slå (hit) / slay tåg (train) / tow and tug

@alyssapowell1799 Год назад

Another situation is Norse & Germanic words that were used in Old English, but in some cases were replaced by another word and the meaning of the old word changed. For example, stool in English and stoll (chair) in Swedish. Chair comes from French - so likely what happened was a simple old chair was called a stool in England while more elaborate thing to sit on was called a "chaiere" and thus these became different types of chairs. There's also some remnant of older Norse/Germanic words in English that are Swedish words. The English phrase "room and board" refers to lodging and a table (bord in Swedish). This wasn't as common in Old English, but there's documentation of "board" being used to mean a table but was quickly replaced by Old French/Latin tabula. These types of words likely seemed more elegant and sophisticated by the nobility. They're not quite false friends since they have similar meaning. But I find it interesting how people integrated new words into the English language even back in the medieval period.

For words like : problem, normal, total. I think it may be borrowed from french rather than english! (I am not sure) but they are prononced in swedish the way we prononce it in french, stressing the last syllabe. I see a lot of similarities between swedish and french, in vocabulary and prononciation. Thanks for another great video!

there are few similarity with Indonesian language... maybe because there's a correlation with Netherland (since Indonesia had been colonized by them for 300 years before became independent country), and maybe Sweden "borrowed" words from Netherland ☺️ . same words, same meaning, same pronunciation... but no stress/pressure in syllable such as : Klinik, problem, Januari, Februari, April, Juni, Juli, September, Oktober, normal, total, apotek, total, normal, telefon, and many more . same meaning, different letter, same pronounce, no stressing handduk = handuk klar = kelar penna = pena . Same words, same pronunciation (no stressing), different meaning doktor (dr) # doktor (DR - a title for magister/master degree) mobil (handphone) # mobil (a car) . these similarity help me a lot to understand some of Swedish words aannnd pronounce it. I need EXTRA (hard) on stressing words in a right place 😁😅 . Thank you for the video. this channel help me to practice swedish. You are a great teacher 👍🏼☺️

That is great (for learning Swedish)! Influence from the Netherlands will surely help. After Norwegian, Danish and German, Dutch is the most helpfull language to know for learning Swedish

Lately I've been pronouncing English words as if they are Swedish words. I wish I was writing down which words I had done this to because it was making me laugh the other day. It started with some word that had "rs" so I gave it the "sh" sound. It's good because it tells me my brain is thinking in Swedish sometimes, since it doesn't need to concentrate on my native English, so why not? Haha!

@FunSwedish Год назад

Once your brain is thinking in Swedish is a great archievement and rally telling that you are making awesome progress!

@tmhc72_gtg22c Год назад

An example that I can think of is the word "baby". I have been amazed by how many languages, such as Dutch and German, also use the word baby. Swedish also has the word "okay" which seems to be written as "okay", "OK", or "okej". It is also amazing how many languages use the word "okay", although they may spell it differently. By learning Swedish, I have found out that I have been totally mispronouncing words like smörgåsbord and Göteborg (Gothenburg).

@FunSwedish Год назад

Thats right! Baby is a great example as well! (Now that you can hear the correct pronunciation, everytime you hear the wrong one, do you cringe?)

@Grievous_Nix Год назад

Pretty sure "okay" is the most popular word in the world!

@tmhc72_gtg22c Год назад

@@FunSwedish It does make me cringe, but if I use the correct pronunciation, people who don't know better will probably try to correct me with the wrong pronunciation. Some people think that they are being more authentic if they call Göteborg "goat-enburg". This is similar to many people who are under the mistaken impression that the Danish way to say Copenhagen is "Copen-hAHggin". Do you know how reliable the Swedish pronunciation in Google translate is?

@FMEEvangelist Год назад

I think there are also Swedish words that are similar to regional English words, particularly in the north. For example, “braw” is good and “bairn” is a child (like “bra” and “barn”). “Greet” is crying (like gråter). In Scotland, “kirk” is a church, “ken” means to know something, they pronounce “long” as lang and I’m sure I’ve heard “whole” pronounced as helt (“that helt thing is…”). It’s pretty cool to see that sort of thing.

@rhonplays Год назад

I’ve noticed some of our slang in the north is the same as Swedish words. One I think of is dyr for expensive. I’m constantly saying that things are too dear to afford 😅

@iVenge Год назад

Remember that not only are Germanic languages related, but that Scandinavians were all over northern Britain centuries ago, and many British people have Scandinavian DNA. You are spot on about the relationship and the origin of those words.

@luxeford547 Год назад

The day I realised the "two tomatoes" joke didn't make sense in Swedish, was the day my interest in language began. To clarify: there's no way "ketchup" can be transcribed "catch up" in Swedish. So the punchline in Swedish could be translated "come on ketchup. Let's go!" Which isn't funny at all, yet we all told that joke from the age of around six.

I think German helps you even more than English, just the pronunciation is a bit hard. I would say at least 50% of the words are similar to the German word.

@FunSwedish Год назад

German definetly helps A LOT. Other than knowing Norwegian or Danish, it is probably the most helpful one 😊

@larsnienberg5488 Год назад

Absolutely. I'm a native German speaker, started learning Swedish back in January this year. I was really surprised to find out just how many words are extremely similar, sometimes even identical.

@@larsnienberg5488 It's definitely easier for us than romanic languages. A few similar words: befäl - Befehl borgare - Bürger borgmästare - Bürgermeister fru - Frau fråga - fragen fönster - Fenster förhöra - verhören förordna - verordnen hantverk - Handwerk herr - Herr hjälte - Held krig - Krieg lärling - Lehrling mynt - Münze riddare - Ritter slott - Schloss stad - Stadt
