Välkommen här! Swedish thread!

That's fun.

Ja, det är!

The only reason I'd take Swedish is because I like those little dots above the a's.

Oh yeah! Those are pronounced ay, or eh, depending on what letters it follows. And this letter, ö, makes the ur sound, not the oh my gosh open my mouth in an o sound.

THE O LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE FACE!

It makes the ur sound!!!!

IT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE FACE! Make a chat thread.

On what? Oh, ok. Not too far off topic though halina.

:( But I wanted to talk about what I ate for dinner.

Ok then, but translate it in french!

I sound like Aurora, don't I Laura?

OMG that rhymes!

:)

Did you know that Ella's dad puts a smiley face after every text?!

True statement. It's strange.

Our conversation goes like this:


I'm walking home now

Okay! Be careful :)

I think I'm going to go get hot chocolate right now

Great, have fun :)

Hey Dad can I sleepover at so-and-so's house? At 6:30

Sure thing :)

XD

You are weird

Why thank you.

True story about Ella's dad. It is a rare occasion he doesn't put a smiley face on his texts. Exa:
This is Ella. We have Harding singers
Okay:) Good Luck:)

  TRUTH

._.

I'm gonna leave this discussion until you are done talking about Ella's dad. Awkward...

Does anyone else feel like tone isn't that distinguishable on Duolingo?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Oh my gosh, that irks me so badly.

And that's why they couldn't teach Chinese. Because TTS can't do tone.

Although, it sounds really angry whenever it says something like, My friends hates me, Mina vänner hatar mig. She sounds really angry.

Did you guys know that the phrase, "Ett glas glass", prounounced, et glass glass, means a glass of ice cream? So if you want ice cream, just say, Jag vill ett glas glass snälla, tack!

I have never heard "Jag vill ha ett glas glass" before. A bowl, yes but how do you eat from a glass?

By the way, I like the dots to å,ä,ö

How would you say, "I want a bowl of ice cream" then?

Jag vill ha en skål med glass

Ja, det är bättre än vad jag hade. Tack! Vad menar du med "By the way, I like the dots to å,ä,ö "? Jag gillar dem för...?

Well, I like the dots because they show us where our language come from and they are good vowels :)

Oh, glas is prounounced more like glaas with emphasis on the a, but glass is on the s and the tounge moves diffrent on the a.

By the way, if i do anything wrong in my writing, please correct me :)
