Hi and good day I have an inquiry. There is a Swede that works with me. If I speak to him in swedish will he think I am flirting with him. You see in America we are mostly asses who refuse to learn other languages and think everyone should speak English to us "as if " English came from America. Lol You see, I used to live in Germany. I feel like I was blessed that the Germans went out of their way to make me feel at home, by speaking English to me. My coworker doesn't need for me to speak Swedish to him though, for he speaks perfect English. However, I feel it would be a kindness and show respect if I were to learn to speak with him at least a little bit. I absolutely hate the way people in America think " your in America now, speak American". I really hate that attitude and is rude. If the Deutsch felt that way when I lived with theml, I would have never have learned to speak in Deutsch. Anyways, I love languages it's my passion and my honor to speak your language. I am also learning Welsch and Hebrew a little bit at a time.

Syl I hear /sɨl or sið̠/ like the word MED with stød. thanks /θænks/
@sayitinswedish3 жыл бұрын
The "stöd" is a glottal stop, so it's not the same thing but I know what Danish sound you're thinking of. I also know the Russian sound but that one is almost impossible for me to make so it's not the same either. The Swedish long /i/ sound is a more open sound which is made further in the front than the English sound. The tongue suqeezes the sound a bit more in the middle than when you would make a short i, or an English e. That's all I can say. Note though, that it's not as "compressed" as the extreme variant people sometimes hear in Gothenburg and Stockholm. That's called the Viby-I and it's not required to sound Swedish.

When I was a child in Sweden, and my Swedish friends tried to teach me to speak Swedish, when we got to the vowels, I thought they were making fun of me. Fortunately, I wasn't particularly sensitive to people teasing me, and their efforts led to a lot of laughter all around. But as I listen to you, I realize they WEREN'T making "fun" of me. They were sincerely trying to help me. As you are, here. It's such a weird phenomenon. Some allophones we weren't raised with initially...just escape our ears forever. I KNOW "fira" and "fyra" sound very different to you. To me...the difference is SO SUBTLE, I can't distinguish it.
