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.

Hej! It would be easier if you try to show us where is the tongue position I hear that this letter "i" has 2 sound a regular "i" as in English and when I hear the sound in a isolated way It sounds like "ɨ" in russian or even a danish stød. Syl I hear /sɨl or sið̠/ like the word MED with stød. thanks /θænks/
@sayitinswedish
@sayitinswedish 3 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.

I adore you. But my American CAN'T hear the difference between Fira & Fyra. I listened with my eyes closed, and when you said "Fira", I thought you were saying "four". 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.

I think spanish speakers would kill themselves if they listen to this, interesting short i (like a mixture between English i and Spanish i, although Spanish i can be whatever you want it to be... that's why Spanish Speakers can't hear for shit, to them it's all the same vowel... vowels in spanish have a very laxed control of quality xD) Swedish vowels might be ideal for me because I love making weird sounds like these, although I'm sure I'll make them in a very exaggerated way and swedish people might think I have a mental problem or something.

Man… I have agonized over what I call the Swedish radio “I” sound for like two months. Trying to make myself pull it off derailed my language learning entirely. And I don’t think it even sounds great. Is it just a pretentious thing?

I recommend "Vuxnas lärande Karlskoga kommun" yt-channel. Nothing wrong with this video but I managed to learn a correct pronunciation through that channel when I could see the word mechanic cause it has pictures showing what is happening inside of mouth, what is a correct position of mouth and tounge, etc.

If you look at my mouth you see that there is a difference and it's something you need to tune your ears to because there are words where only the vowel changes.

​@@thefalcon3154 Late but I hope this helps somewhat: "I" here is always pronounced softer like the i in "Interesting" and never hard like "Eye" or "Ice" "Y" here is pronounced like a slightly harder "U" but with a higher pitch. It never makes a "J" sound like "yoyo" in english. I cant think of good examples but here it Y often gets confused for U rather than I due to the pitch. Y starts like a hard U but grows into a hard I sound if that makes sense. I = i Y = ui J = jiie
