I've used way too much crushed graham crackers for this hot cocoa. 😅
The roads have been bad all week, and are predicted to be in poor condition all weekend, so staying in as much as possible is the plan. Which is fine by me because I have been buried up to my nose in essay assignments and struggling through College Algebra.

2024.04.06 Hour 13.5 🇸🇪 - Coffee Break Swedish
1.04 Notes:
long vowels and swedish - pretend there are two of the vowels written there
if you start part of a sentence with a time or place (e.g. "just nu"), then the verb and subject of sentence need to switch places
Göteborg = Gothenburg = (the one town pronounced differently in english)
den/det = it (and use "det" for the dummy "it")
de (pronounced "dom") = they
ni = you plural
du = thou, dig = you; du-reformen in 1960s
Helsingfors (rs ≈"sh") = Helsinki
1.05 Notes:
Det här är ... min vän, min pojkvän, min särbo
särbo / sambo
flycka + van = flyckvän / pojke + vän = pojkvän
en (common) vs. ett (neuter); en is used 75-80% of the time.
ett barn, mitt barn
mitt -> notice that double t makes the i a short vowel; if it were mit then i vowel would be long (mit = "meet")
double consonant at the end shortens the vowel
jag ser fram i mot det = i look forward to it
jag med = me too
1.06 Notes:
det låter bra / det låter utmärkt
ett syscon / mitt syscon / jag har inte syscon.
fredagsmys: Friday cozy time - tv och snacks, e.g. idål och läsk
att mysa = to cuddle
lordagsgodis: Sweets saturday
when it comes to family, most plurals are irregular: en bror, två bröder / en syster, två systrar / en son två söner / en dotter, två döttrar
very often "ett" plural nouns don't change form: ett barn, jag har två barn / ett syscon, jag har tre syscon
"y" pronunciation tip = "ee" in sheep with rounded lips
en förälder / mina föräldrar = a parent / my parents
mina = for all (mitt or min) plurals
noll (0), ett, två, tre, fyra, fem, sex, sju, åtta, nio ("nia), tio ("tia")
+0.5hr x 3 & watched 2 episodes of Young Royals last night + last episode idag
