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")
