Well, someone talked about our language in one of the ESC topics, I guess it could be nice to start an actual topic for Swedish :cool:

I've studyied too a bit of numbers thanks to Melodifestivalen, but I'm not sure I can write them right. And know also some other words since when I interested a bit of Swedish and asked about this language from my friends.

Here are the numbers for you guys:

1 = Ett / En
2 = Två
3 = Tre
4 = Fyra
5 = Fem
6 = Sex
7 = Sju
8 = Åtta
9 = Nio
10 = Tio
11 = Elva
12 = Tolv
13 = Tretton
14 = Fjorton
15 = Femton
16 = Sexton
17 = Sjutton
18 = Arton
19 = Nitton
20 = Tjugo
21 = Tjugoett
-----------------
30 = Trettio
-----------------
40 = Fyrtio
-----------------
-----------------
100 = (ett) Hundra

and so forward

There's always the great classic saying; "Far, får får får? Nej, får får lamm!". Haha. Literally translated: "Father, do sheep get sheep? No, sheep get lamb".


This video is sooo hilarious as it deals with absurd and funny sentences where multiple words that are spelled the same mean different things and a poor English guy is trying to say them:

Yeah definitely. I loved the "Ät inte filen med filen. Använd skeden!" one. How bizarre it must have been for the guy. He must think that these are essential expressions we use all the time, hahaha!

This is really impossible to pronounce, almost for us (italian). I've tried too many times, it's impossible xD

However I'm trying... Jag vill lära svenska, men jag har inte tillräckligt tid...

But now, listening to swedish songs, I remember many words.... for example... tid.... med tid och rum (Carola, Evighet xheart )
