Fun Fact: The smile you spread in video is equal to Average Swedish folks do in entire day .. especially in Stockholm 😅

[@QuietQuakerASMR]

Please please please never stop making videos. I'm half Swedish and i dream of living in the Swedish countryside working remotely. You're one of my favorite channels! With love, from California.

[@FunSwedish]

We will do our best to never stop making videos for you, your sweet comments helps a lot to continue

[@Goldifarms]

I’m from California and am going to Sweden tomorrow! I’m 1/4 Swedish 💜💛

[@Luxzuryy]

i recently visited oland from the US for a couple of weeks and loved going to the ICA in lottorp to buy fresh produce, the vegetables, strawberries, and different flavored creme fraiche were my favorites. except this ICA had a hard time with my credit card since it doesnt have a pin number and i also didnt have a swedish passport! i just ended up taking out a bunch of cash to make it easier for the kassan. but swedish supermarkets are so fun! i miss a lot of the food i had there now that i am back home.

[@quentindimeoo]

Editor, please chill with the bubble pop and ding effects, they're hella loud

[@janvanhoyk8375]

you forgot the most important part: PLOCKGODIS

[@FunSwedish]

True!😅😂

[@VeganWilly]

I don't why but I like the WILLY:S 😂😂😂 Loved the video, thank you so much!

[@12irissu14]

Fun Fact: Lidl is actually a german Supermarktet chain.

[@Leb-wj4vd]

And Coop Italian

[@missmiyanda93]

åh 🤔🤔🤔

[@aimeebuddleja]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS, im moving to Sweden to live and these are making me feel a bit more comfortable to use Swedish in my everyday tasks :))

[@FunSwedish]

Glad you like them!

[@TWolf317]

Enjoyed the video! Supermarket is one of those words that always shows up in language courses, but it rarely used in the US. I don't know about the UK. I've lived in 9 different states in the US and don't know if I've ever heard someone say they were going to "the supermarket." As mentioned in this video, people usually just use the name of the store, or just "grocery store" or "I'm going to go grocery shopping." Another word is "cinema." My Dutch tutor seemed surprised when I told her nobody says they are going to "the cinema." Normally it's just "the movie theater" or simply "the movies."

[@gandalfrj9364]

Now if the Swede asks me "var det bra så ? or Är det bra så ? " Which literally mean "was it good like that? Is that good?" I would scratch my head ; What's good ? Was the shopping experience good ? Why are you asking me this ? instead of something like "Är det allt ?"

[@asheimmortal]

I love that in between yogurt and milk stuff.

[@jessicascott6496]

I spent three weeks in Sweden this summer and when I returned I was so so so sad to not have Fil in my fridge when I opened it in the morning. Big sigh and acceptance of the situation. I really loved the fil with muesli and/or kuddar and jam every breakfast...Tried to replicate it once I got home but no cigar... Thank you for your videos. I love them - I watch them during my lunch breaks!

[@ncspena]

tack for this. IM SRTARTING MY SWEDISH JOURNEY AND YOUVE BEEN SOOOO HELPFUL.

[@ArezooRezazadeh]

det är himla användbar ❤

[@Louise_Adamson]

They used to say something to ask 'Do you want cashback?' I've completely forgotten what it was since I use the self service nowadays

[@iberomagazine]

Du talar svenska väldigt snabbt, och jag behöver att höra din dialekt tack sa mycket !! 🧑

[@elitecereal]

Litet tips, man säger "tack *så* mycket". If you don't include "å", you completely change the meaning of the word. "Sa" means "Say" whereas "Så" means "So". Not anything to be upset over though, it's completely normal and I see a lot of swedish learners do this kind of mistake.

[@fumikosuki6502]

I love your class and I am new I love your country.From Bangladesh my language bangle

[@FunSwedish]

Happy to hear!

[@peggyharris2158]

Super helpful

[@missmiyanda93]

Tack så mycket Daniella jag vet nu!!!!!!

[@krishnadhital6028]

Good asking

[@salilsahani2721]

Tack :)

[@adrianr650]

Useful but in practice probably more abbreviated talk. I have just bought köttbullar by mail order in England. I notice the more cream in the milk the thicker the lines on the cartons.😊Tack FS.

[@allonwne]

I made a cappuccino with filmjölk, did not end well 😮

[@FunSwedish]

Haha, you learned the hard way. I am sure that a filmjölk-lover world would have liked that cappuccino :p

[@allonwne]

@@FunSwedish It was a horrible mess, but it turned out well because I now regularly have a filmjölk varton in my gridgr

[@allonwne]

Well that did not end well 🙀

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

Tack 🌹💐🌹

[@ghlscitel6714]

I love Filmjölk, but what again was Halmjölk?

[@josemaurofilho9176]

Jag hade erfarenhet av ett litet snabbköp på Kungsgatan, men på den tiden hade jag inte de kunskaper i svenska som jag har idag.

[@Hamzabenazzouz]

Tak

[@muspelling]

It was a bit confusing. You have to insert your card BEFORE you start scanning for the groceries at the self checkout. If you make a mistake, it charges you. One time the items were not being scanned and I couldn't cancel anything. I just gave up. Someone could have used my card to buy anything. It was really bad. I ended up using another checkout and after a while the previous one got cancelled due to inactivity. It was at a Hemköp, which is my favorite one so far. I haven't been to any Willy's, though. I don't even think I've seen one in Skåne.

[@lewisbeltranfernandez586]

good video, teacher. I have a question, what´s the difference between ATT KÖPPA and ATT HANDLA?

[@FunSwedish]

Great question! Att köpa can be used for everything since it describes the money transaction in general (köpa hus, köpa mat, köpa aktier). Att handla is more used when you refer to buying things at the supermarket. I would not use "handla" when I talk about buying a house for example.

[@zolzol9755]

kan du förklara mer om PÅ och AV ? ❤

[@FunSwedish]

Prepositioner är alltid svåra eftersom de kan betyda olika saker beroende på meningen. I vår kurs "Lower Intermediate" så går vi igenom prepositioner om du vill veta mer: funswedish.teachable.com/p/swedish-lower-intermediate-falukorv

[@gabrielgirodo]

Hej 😊 Några månader efter jag har flyttat till Sverige vände jag mig med frågan: ”är du medlem?” En fin dag, jag var redo att svara den där frågan men kassör sade: ”är du medlem hos oss?” I panicked 😂😂😂

[@joecasa85]

Den här videon är roliga precis som svenska mataffärer! 🟦🟨

[@ptyps]

I need to know what a grocery u-boat is called in Swedish! I've been told they don't exist and I don't believe it! Hahah 😅

[@annar6294]

When you say they need your personnummer if you're a member, do you mean the personnummer that I've heard you need for anything official in Sweden? Or just the membership number?

[@eliasnybro5151]

You need the number that the government gives you

[@annar6294]

@eliasnybro5151 that's interesting, are people quite happy to give it out then? In the UK people don't even always want to give out an email to sign up to a store membership.

[@eliasnybro5151]

@@annar6294 The personnummer isn't extremely secret. I also think that it's more common for stores to ask for your phonenumber and then they'll send you a link to their website where you can use your personnummer to become a member.

[@EricaGamet]

Why is kö pronounced with the hard K sound and not "sh"? I thought if k was followed by EIYÄÖ is was "sh." Like in "köp." Tack för videon!

[@FunSwedish]

Great question and observation! Kö is a borrowed word from French and therefore an exception to the normal pronunciation rule.

[@EricaGamet]

@@FunSwedish Just knowing it’s French I know to throw all rules out the window! 🤣 Thank you, as I would definitely have said that one wrong.

[@curtpiazza1688]

😊

[@timobohn4488]

When i was in Kiruna for one month i also was in the coop in nya centrum. But i think the cashier was definitely not from norrland :D because he asked and talked more and faster than every cashier i meet in the whole country. Also the locals where slightly annoyed about talking so much so fast above the polarcircle :D "... Hej ... Tjenare ... Bra ... Är det bra så ? Är du medlemmar och har en meledlemmarkort ? Okej ... Bra... Det blir XXX kr ... Tack ... Hejdå ..." and that are definitely too much words for that region :D

[@aswedeingermany753]

Hur sa du laktos? Det heter Laktås. Inte LACKTOSS som du sa det?

[@FunSwedish]

Kom ihåg att det finns olika dialketer i Sverige :)

[@muspelling]

Hemköp > ICA

[@marpintado]

Nice information! Could you please talk slower and repeat the words and frases? Tank you!

[@hollymerritt8836]

If you go to settings in the corner you can change the playback speed and make it slower, that might help?

[@marpintado]

@@hollymerritt8836 Sorry but no, the voice becomes distorted. Thanks for the advice.

First day in sweden I bought the filmjolk by mistake 🥲 it was good but now what I wanted to add to my coffee. Now I know better and I don't make these mistakes anymore. I have my lidleplus app and I always remember to bring my bag. The only problem is that I never recognize if they are asking me if I want the recipt (yes) or a bag (no) and then they always guess that I'm a foreigner 😅 but it's only my first month, I will learn!
