Brit Reacts to Have A Conversation With A Swedish Person

[@livb6945]

What amazes me is how the Swede manages NOT to answer in English by mistake

[@perthyren601]

I know, I would do it automatically ;)

[@charlieburehag5863]

Yeah i would do it automatically too

[@najroe]

it would be automatic

[@johnsmith_1942]

He answers "yeah".. so that's English

[@kimpaludan9572]

​@@johnsmith_1942 he is saying "ja" not "yeah"..ja means yes.😊 im swedish..sometimes he drags out the "ja" and it can sound lite yeah

[@Jim_86]

The Swedish version of this show is called Bäst i test. Bäst i test = Best in test. In one of the Swedish episodes the participants had to figure out what an Icelandic man were saying.

[@zpitzer]

that was so funny

[@EEmB]

I have no idea how you could have missed Taskmaster. They are in their 18th season now, and have been on the tv in the UK since 2015! They started their youtube channel in 2019 and I watched all of the previous episodes during the first months of the pandemic. They even had the pandemic "home editions" when UK was in lockdown, giving out tasks to the people of UK each week, and the best was broadcasted on their youtube channel. It really brought people together. The Swedish version is on their 7th season now.

[@eh-modo]

I agree. I've never ever lived in the UK but I have watched every single series and episode. The British is the best, our Swedish version comes second in my opinion followed by New Zealand, Norway and on the very last place Denmark (Never seen any other versions, please tell me if there are others) Love the show concept!

[@kattkopia]

​@@eh-modoThere is an Australian, a Portoguese, a US and a Finnish version too, but I've never seen any of them so I don't know if they're any good. I heard that the US version i really bad though.

[@eh-modo]

@@kattkopia thanks 👍

[@svenjonsson4275]

In Swedish version of this funny gameshow they have a ICELANDIC person. Lol

[@memoblom2112]

This show is a lot about finding loopholes. If it doesnt say in the letter that something is forbidden it is allowed. So Catherine got that this meant she could use her phone in this task, and the others didnt.

[@MrTjonke]

There is a Swedish version of Taskmaster called "Bäst i Test" if you want to check it out to test your swedish skills. But Taskmaster is the GOAT

[@grytlappar]

He doesn't, it's awful. 😄

[@laskiaispulla3272]

The Finnish version of Taskmaster is called Suurmestari.

[@tevlar]

"Bäst i Test" was better when it was in SVT, maybe it was becouse of the commercials, i dunno. But the people competing was also more fun, like Ankan. Now they just try to use a budget Ankan thats not funny and noone knows who it is. Swedish has better host In David Sundin that carries the show hard. Hes funnier and and better than the UK versions hosts. (Main host Babben is very overrated imo) But UK version has better competitors. (Apart from Ankan when he was in the Swedish show)

[@daniel.sandberg.5298]

You forgot that we swedes love our country

[@yuiop271]

⁠@@tevlarthe tests were much more fun then! And they had guests in every episode. Bäst i test from SVT was the best. Laughed so hard every time. Ankan was so funny Yeah and keyo 😂 and yeah David sundin lifts the show many levels. Best host!

[@SK-nw4ig]

In the norwegian show thy had this same but "have a conversation with a finnish person" :D And yes, one can look "very swedish". I can tell often finnish look from other nordics. This is ia funny show broadcasting in many countries. The thing is you have to be very literal with the instructions of the tasks. So she could ring a friend and look at dictionary because it wasnt forbidden in the rules.

[@smalm86]

In the swedish show it's have a convo with an icelandic person!

[@laskiaispulla3272]

In the Finnish version they are supposed to have a conversation with an Estonian person if I remember correctly.

[@Anonymous-uw4sr]

​@@laskiaispulla3272 Oh, isn't that pretty easy?

[@erikaeriksson9840]

The British show Taskmaster is BRILLIANT! Please watch more of it and rect to it, they are hilarious! 😂😂😂

[@Pilutta100]

Saw it a couple of years ago, and it always cracks me up, loved your reaction to it. ❤😂

[@Gittas-tube]

We have a Finnish version of Taskmaster too, and both the Swedish and British versions are shown on Finnish TV, as well!

[@zelest]

I can warmly recommend Taskmaster as a series. It started airing on Dave and then went over to Channel 4. The show rewards (and sometimes punishes) lateral thinking, which is why no one batted an eyelid when Katherine "cheated". As a Swede myself, this whole show resonates so well with me. I've always claimed that Brits have some of the best panel shows and comedy shows.

[@Griexxt]

Anything that isn't specifically forbidden on the card is allowed, so Katherine did not cheat.

[@donquixote1502]

It was great fun for sure and I love how the lady gave him hug. That is so polite and warming.

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

Taskmaster is brilliant! I watch both the UK version (the original) as well as the swedish version. I intend to watch the danish and norweigan versions in the future, too. 🥰

[@onomatopoetisk]

The New Zeeland version is very good. If you’re Swedish you can see it on SVT play.

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

Lingonvecka (Lingonberry week) is slang for Menstruation/Period.

[@jonatanspjuth8366]

Taskmaster is great, enjoy the British, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish to be fair. I like the swedish tasks the most but the British "comedians"/guests are wayyyyy funnier

[@EEmB]

The New Zealand version is really funny!

[@moondaughter1004]

@@EEmB it really is but it's on pretty late in Sweden. 11pm or so I believe

[@donnathomas6063]

This is a brilliant tv show! Its one of the only shows I watch

[@Thelemorf]

A swede that is used to danish will understand and conversate with a danish person without any problem. Pannbiff is not a hamburger, its more like a Salisbury steak

[@Henrik_Holst]

depends entirely on the danish dialect

[@DennanX]

You haven't seen taskmaster and you're a national? Wtf mate :D I've seen all episodes and im Swedish :P

[@kattahj]

Taskmaster is a fantastic TV show, you should watch it! The Swede pops up again, you could try "Learn Swedish - Fred Returns!" where you can also learn a Swedish drinking song!

[@tessan1970]

I have seen both the Brittish and Swedish version of Taskmaster. I love it!

[@9Misaki3]

Would love to see more reactions to UK taskmaster episodes or at least parts of them (one of my favorite shows of all time and I'm not from UK).

[@Afropalmen]

That you haven't seen Taskmasker is a HUGE chock to me! If anything you should see them giving Alex his speciall experience

[@DONTHASSLETHEHOFF]

This british show is massive in Sweden under the name "Bäst i test". I mean, a swedish version but they bought this concept.

[@Thelemorf]

It is?

[@mr.t114]

A massive failure

[@DONTHASSLETHEHOFF]

@@Thelemorf It sure is.

[@mr.t114]

@@DONTHASSLETHEHOFF No it´s not, pull up the viewer ratings for it. Just to be "that one", rarely anything that´s on the lousy tell-lie-vision anymore is for the public to have an opinion about.

[@herrbonk3635]

They changed it a lot though, to the better.

[@mariahultander2102]

Love both the English and Swedish version of this show. So funny!!🤣

[@Anna-Gunilla1792]

You are getting good at Swedish!

[@swedeman5785]

Lingon berries you can buy in the store but it s more fun to pick them yourself in the woods in September. August & September are my favourite, same wood has blueberries in august& lingonberries in September :-) Then you buy jam-sugar and do it yourself.

[@erikaerlandsson]

Actually, Danes, Swedes and Norwegians can often understand each other pretty well. It depends on where people are from, some dialects are harder to understand than others.

[@RobertClaeson]

One of my work colleagues is from South Africa. He says "ja" instead of "yes" in a way that is quite similar to Swedish.

[@Anna_Infidel]

Im Swedish and Ive watch a lot of Taskmaster. Its brilliant

[@queenmadeleine]

Yes I found the show on SVT Play in Sweden so now I have to watch it. Here it's called "Bäst i test England"

[@johankaewberg8162]

To miss luck. A fairly poetic word for failing.

[@rft416]

We have the same show in Sweden called Bäst i test Best in test.

[@anette8656]

We have this program in Sweden and the program is called: Best in test. Think that once upon a time we understood each other and many Swedes often went over to England to sell things and vice versa. But then the language changed as many French words entered the English language.

[@heidiandersson9462]

Älskar dina svenska dagar

[@viktor821]

I watch the British, Swedish and Danish versions :D

[@annacederwall3309]

Love task master. We watched swedish, brittish and norwegen task master on swedish tv.

[@swedeman5785]

An interesting thing about dates and the word "flip it around"..We in Sweden say 26th June for example ,while Americans say June 26th. And year,we say 19 hundred82(1982)..while Americans skip hundred.

[@tinyderppotato5410]

I love taskmaster so much, little alex horne is a genius! some of the other versions are great too😊

[@m03y5t42]

Love 'Taskmaster'. Even the Swedish version 'Bäst i test'.

[@fridanygren4070]

I love taskmaster, I’ve seen every episode. I also love our own version that’s called Bäst I test. I can watch the Norwegian one, tried the danish and New Zealand ones but didn’t like those. In our version they have to talk to the Icelandic firefighter Trösti which always makes for hilarious clips, and also our older karate man who always lies

[@m03y5t42]

'Lingon' (= Lingonberry) is actually pronunced 'Lingon' with the 'G' silent. 'ng' like in 'thing' and 'ring'.

[@Drescher1984]

Taskmaster is Alex Horn creation, it has spread to other countries, where they have there own duo giving task's to celebrities

[@theforgottenmovies3265]

I like Taskmaster. I have also watched on the Swedish version of this (called: Bäst i Test) when they should ges what a person from Iceland said.

[@Zerashadow]

Taskmaster is a fun show, it encurages the contestants to think ouside the box, you should do more ^^

[@hennakettunen8755]

❤ I hope you'll watch Taskmaster, starting from season 1, you'll be in for such a treat! 😂🤩 I've watched and rewatched and watched them yet again - sooo funny!!

[@avanjou]

You should really watch taskmaster, it's a great show. The Swedish version Bäst i Test is also really funny.

[@memoblom2112]

This show is very popular in Sweden (-”Bäst i test” its called here-) but they have made a lot of changes to it. In the Swedish version it is much more of a family show.

[@mr.t114]

Ling GONE 🤣Dwayne is better at it, prove me wrong.

[@ptotheetother]

Both the British and Swedish taskmaster is amazing!

[@wonderlandnise]

There is another clip with this guy with another task if you want to watch that too! :)

[@martinhegelius7445]

Dont forget that scandinavian and english languages are related. If you come from Scotland or norden England you got some advance as well.

[@rumling81]

We also have this show in Denmark so funny

[@ztrathego]

The Swedish version of this show is (or at least was recently) the most popular show on TV in Sweden. The British version is much better though, and this clip is from one of the best seasons of British Taskmaster.

[@touma-san91]

You have never watched Taskmaster before? It's on like season 18 currently in the UK. There is even finnish version of it called Suurmestari and has few seasons too. Although the UK version is pretty much best version of the show.

[@tomimarkus]

What's up with the quality of this video, why can't I change it?

[@SuperDalton72]

Danish people understand south old swedish and norwegan.. but it takes a little time to translate the order and meaning ov the words. but i text its clearer.

[@AHVENAN]

This is the first time I've seen or heard anyone translate "pannbiff" to hamburger, but I guess it's not too far off

[@matspettersson6353]

In Sweeden we get a 🇮🇸 man to do do this😂 som islandic Words are the same as Old Sweedish and Nordic laguage, from the Viking age, But we had left people that seoson that were just Dumb😂 But this is funny

[@NoType333]

Funny!😂

[@sussie5463]

I watch the Swedish version. It's silly fun. But it really depends a lot on the guests. Some are just not funny at all and it falls flat. In the Swedish version they try to understand an Icelandic person.

[@lillerik01]

now I was about to answer you in Swedish. :) i have seen the series here on youtube and it is locked for us outside uk. then we Swedes have copied from them.

[@euginiagruba5061]

This tv program we have in Sweden and name, Best i test.

[@elinahamalainen5867]

Taskmaster is very funny. There is also at least Finnish, Swedish and Australian versions.

[@GiffelBaby]

How have you never watched Taskmaster!?

[@SuperDalton72]

Misslyckas is like be a miss lucky like missed to be lucky in his work or doing. type failing.

[@grytlappar]

It was lucky for her that it wasn't the other way around, a Swedish friend trying to understand a Dane. A Dane understands a Swede perfectly. The other way around, not so much.

[@memoblom2112]

Theres some truth to that☺️ Pronounciation-wise it is much easier for danes to understand swedes but there is a lot of words that are completely different though that you need to know as a danish person in order to understand swedish. . When I worked at a café where we had a lot of danish guests and I asked them if they wanted whipped cream with their hot chocolate it was much better to use the danish word (piskefløde) because if I said the swedish word (grädde) at least half of them looked at me as if I was from a different planet😅

[@marcusfridh8489]

Scanians understands Danes better than "upper Swedes" but Danes understands "upper Swedes" better than Scanians. So when a Scanian speaks with a Dane, he have to change into Danish.

[@crazyhistoryguy6630]

That's because Danes can't speak

[@michaelmay5453]

Thing is, we all speak English so there is no real reason for you to learn Swedish. Except if you want to or want to live here, I don't want to dissuade you at all. :)

the television program you whasing ,have allso a Swedish and danic werson off that sort off television program .

[@roaringviking5693]

The British Taskmaster is absolutely the best version, but I like the Norwegian as well, which is called "Kongen befaler". Our Swedish version "Bäst i test" is usually pretty good, but I have always felt that the hosts are wrong for the show. They have done other stuff that's good, though, so it isn't that I don't like them. They are just kind of tame and not that funny in it, compared to hosts from other versions of the show.

[@thehoogard]

Taskmaster is a great show. We even have a swedish adaptation of it (Bäst i test). I massively prefer the English version though.

[@herrbonk3635]

And I massively prefer the swedish version. It's not just David Sundin's humor, but more beautiful and cozy houses and environments as well.

[@SuperDalton72]

they got whrong with the panbeef steake..it is same as a meat ball but huge and flat as hamburger steak.. not the same taste or recepie.

[@johankaewberg8162]

You have never seen Taskmaster????? It’s all about creative cheating.

[@mr.t114]

😅 Do you wanna know what it´s called in Swedish? Jävla dynga, ask others, the translation is all there for others to confirm, "I appreciate the effort though and salutes it".
