What Stuff at IKEA Really Sounds Like. How to say the names of the ikea furniture lines. The other day I had a little shopping trip up to IKEA in Portland and decided to see how I would pronounce the names in American English.

I think it is really fun that IKEA sells a rainbow pattern pillow that is called ”Putin” haha it’s pretty klockrent

[@woroGaming]

I really don't get how people can find Ikea furniture difficult to assemble. Just follow the instructions and take your time. Pay attention to the details like where the different holes are positioned and you'll be fine.

[@succulent3300]

I'm sorry, I thought bad things.

[@FredMcIntyre]

That was fun Linn! 😀 thanks for taking us along and for the Swedish lesson! 👍

[@tcl379]

I am always happy to see that you are doing well during your pregnancy! Being a father and grandfather I know that a lot of joy is coming your way! I also appreciate your eye for quality. Whatever you do you try and add a dose of “quality“ into your work. If you haven’t read the book already, The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, you may enjoy it. It deals with the concept of “quality” ( and many other ideas) in interesting ways. Keep up the great work, you are an inspiration!

[@kortt]

lol, wow, now that brings a whole new light to visiting Idea! Thanks Lynn.

[@robert4you]

Greetings from Sweden! This was really fun to watch :-)

[@reforzar]

This is fun! Love some educational experiences.

[@houtjeboom]

Tack så mycket.... Swedish is the niced language I have learned

[@biancaa_patrricia]

Houtje Boom - Be Creative niced? What’s that ? And what did you said in Swedish

[@herrfriberger5]

_Tack så mycket_ = "Thanks so much", literally speaking.

[@sparksandchips3997]

Love these videos!

[@billm4560]

I enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing Linn!!Nett!!! 👏👏😊

[@DarbinNotes]

+Bill M Great to hear Bill!

[@philipmurray9796]

Very cool Linn. I think you could do a whole series on Ikea that could go viral and get a lot of views.

[@ThePaulus2010]

This was so fun, great video!

[@DarbinNotes]

+Paul Avesaath Thanks Paul!

[@Youpuber]

These vlogs are awesome!

[@DarbinNotes]

+Victor Thank you Victor!

[@scotttovey]

That was cool! Loved it.

[@DarbinNotes]

+Scott Tovey Awesome!

[@serpzero]

Omg.. Love it!

[@williamchriswilhelm]

Very fun!!!

[@automaticprojects]

Haha. Getting out of my 20s meant never having to shop at IKEA again, but fun to see how all those familiar words are really pronounced.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Nice video. We visit IKEA from time to time (too far away to go there often). and we love it. Sometimes we buy something but it gives a lot of inspiration. About 15 years ago I bought my first digitital fotocamera and at the first time after that I took it with me to IKEA, starting making pictures of things I liked. My wife was wondering why. Nowadays when you go to IKEA you hardly see people NOT making pictures. We've quite a few things from IKEA at home. Never had any issues with quality nor with putting it together.

[@DarbinNotes]

+Hans de Groot You were ahead of your time😊

[@DavidMcCoul]

This video needs more views!!

[@69virgin1966]

Great video Linn. I think that you should try to add a new word in Swedish in all of your videos. I think it would be really cool 😎. Thanks for sharing

[@DarbinNotes]

+Roy Wrenn 😊

[@waynebooker498]

that was fun to watch

[@almagill]

It's almost time for our annual visit to Ikea (the Glasgow one is handy to stop off at when visiting relatives in town). Glaswegian pronunciation of Ikea's Swedish names is *very* different. For a start, the Glasgow accent is mostly a growl... with very flat vowels...

[@Wildevis]

I live in South Africa and my mother tongue is Afrikaans, derived from Dutch Settlers and also sounds a lot like Flemish. I was surprised how many words are also similar to Swedish. Ordentlig = ordentlik in Afr and means the same. I also believe your handoek = towel =handoek in Afrikaans as well. Same word, same meaning. Lots of gutteral g sounds as well, like the Scottish loch " with that hard g sound at the end :-)

[@spacefertilizer]

Erika Cronje in Swedish it’s ”handduk” (hand-duk) though :)

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

I can't pronounce many of them so thanks, nice to hear a language with the proper accent. Lord help the customers if there is ever a fire in one of those stores, they'll never get out.

[@jessicagreene1773]

I find it cute how you say chisel, Chisssssil..:)

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi Lynn, I am still struggling with English after all I am only 66 years old. We did French in school but I cannot remember any of it, even now I come across the odd word that is new to me and have to look it up to find the meaning. Love your second channel and this video especially.

[@DarbinNotes]

+John Fithian-Franks Merci beaucoup!

[@theunluckywoodworker7930]

Haha that was a fun video

[@resbalonso]

For your next vlog, just sit at the table with a camera overhead and the Ikea catalog. Point and shoot. Fun for all!!!

[@moosepocalypse6500]

Hmm a bit different from how I would say some of those but I am finlandssvensk and our Swedish is a little different, especially ones like sjön... Sounds VERY different how you say it from how we do lol

[@todddembsky8321]

That was fun -- I totally enjoyed this. In Minnesota, the only Swedish words we know are "Swedish Meatballs" Is there really such a thing as Swedish Meatballs of is that marketing attempting to find another use for cream of Mushroom soup? PS -- I love your channels -- hope you are doing well with the miracle that is happening.

[@DarbinNotes]

+Todd Dembsky Cream of mushroom soup in meatballs? What strange land is this Minnesota? 😉

[@todddembsky8321]

This strange land called Minnesota is half Norwegian and Scandinavian. The other half is German, Polish, and a sprinkling of the rest. You know you are in trouble when you have Lutefisk at Christmas time. Green Jello with Carrot shavings, Hot Dish (or Tater Tot Casserole) The country's second largest State Fair (behind Texas) where everything is served on a stick. We even have a mall (right next to the Big Blue Box) with an amusement park inside the mall. Good Old Mall Of America. Lena, Sven, and Ole are always in trouble, and we cut holes in the ice on a lake in the middle of winter and sit for hours on an upside down Home Depot 5 gallon bucket with a fishing pole hoping to catch that one fish while waiting for the Beer Pickup Truck to drive by and sell you a hot sandwich and a beer. A great place to call "home"...

[@MakeWithMiles]

This is very fun! which Ikea store did you go to?

[@DarbinNotes]

+Make With Miles The one in Portland 😊

[@santimerino]

Hur mår du? Hahahaha I visited Sweden last year and loved it. I cannot understand a word a part from "hej', 'hallå' and "hejdå". Luckily everyone there speaks perfect english. 🇪🇸❤️🇸🇪👋 By the way I'm watching this cuz I'm going to ikea soon and just searched how to pronounce it correctly, in spanish we say it pretty similar to the original way

[@johnbouttell5827]

Wonderful; this is your niche. Please, let's have a weekly video on IKEA.

[@DarbinNotes]

+John Bicycle Maybe even a daily! 😂

[@MyChannel-yc1fm]

Saludo desde Guatemala

[@jakeaustin9894]

This was great! I could never pronounce them correctly. Haha! Is that the IKEA by the Portland Airport?

[@DarbinNotes]

+Jake Austin Yes it is!

[@stephan4ever64]

hahaha jättekul att höra icke svensktalande försöka prata Svenska. :D Och skönt att du inte tappat Svenskan :)

[@PeterOConnl]

Languages will always fascinate me.

[@haruna.3059]

she nearly got stuck in SCP-3008

[@dcox01]

You should of asked an employee where the bathroom was in Swedish

[@DarbinNotes]

+dcox01 😂

[@Alfredo1987a]

[@randomguy6843]

Norbury53, fuck off

[@MrFvasconcellos]

Loved this, Linn!

[@DarbinNotes]

+MrFvasconcellos Nice to hear!

[@Aardrijk1]

I have to admit, I love their meatballs! 😁

[@Zerokwit]

MY SWEDISH HEART THO😂

[@TimothyOBrien1958]

I've gone into IKEA and asked for things in Swedish. And my Swedish sucks now.

[@reedrancho]

Linn; I feel bad . I have never been inside an IKEA. I thought you had to speak Svenska and as English is my 2d language (I cant speak the first one) it was just too intimidating. Thank You for the language lesion. 🤓😀😀😀

[@nandanbellare6445]

I heard you pronounce IKEA as "I-key-aa", the way the Americans pronounce it. Is it the correct pronunciation in Swedish too please? I thought it was actually pronounced something like "ee-key-aa".

[@DarbinNotes]

The latter pronunciation is more Swedish. I guess Im around too many Americans ;)

[@nandanbellare6445]

Thank you for responding.

[@pixelised]

I was wondering the same thing! In a Japanese vlog the store had it spelled out to be pronounced as something like ee-keh-ah and that's how I've been pronouncing it but the way Linn said it shook my conviction…

[@beareggers]

Whenever I drive my SAAB to IKEA I feel like I'm driving it home.

[@DarbinNotes]

+Bear Yggers I wonder if there's a higher proportion of SAABs in IKEA parking lots compared to other stores 😅

[@D-MEYER]

Das war lustig für mich als Deutscher :-)

[@denverramsey6066]

Woof

[@you5711]

best parts norrsjohn 0:57 ikea traps Linn 3:31

[@guidojbass]

They've just launched a new piece of furniture that even Americans can pronounce: Stuck!

[@havenisse2009]

Next teach American youtubers how to properly say RØDE (microphone). All will say "road". But in Danish, it's with Ø and soft D like in "the".

[@thomasyngvesson]

Försökte lista ut vilken del av Sverige du är ifrån men lyckades inte fånga upp någon dialekt. Så vart är du ifrån? /Smålänning bosatt i Trollhättan. 😀

[@DarbinNotes]

+Thomas Yngvesson Södermanland 😊

[@kaiserkarl2]

Älskar att inte ens du kan uttala Norrsjön rätt...

[@victorhudson9188]

Kan du inte vara snäll och göra en hel video på svenska?

[@adrianbourke2661]

Very good love the vlogs "ni maith liom ikea is maith liom darbin ovar" thats irish for i dont like ikea i like darbin ovar 😀

[@DarbinNotes]

+adrian bourke 😚

[@sumosprojects]

Schwedische Sprache, Mein Gott es ist doch schwer Oder ?

[@joec6974]

Funny?

[@TimothyOBrien1958]

I love how Swedes can't say Z.

[@JeanLoupRSmith]

The Swedish "sj" is a nightmare to pronounce and the fact that it's not pronounced the same whether you're from Stockholm, Northern Sweden or worse if you speak Finnsk Svenska does not help...

[@Pysslis]

Jean-Loup Rebours-Smith apparently we have 65 different spellings on sj sounds, not including dialects.

[@herrfriberger5]

Nonsense. There are two (similar) ways to say it, and it's not hard at all. (But try to pronounce "months" in English, for instance.)

[@biggbals4375]

In my language (yamokotrch) ikea is a very serious, very horrible insult

[@DavidB773]

This reminded me of the viral video of how not to pronounce Ikea furniture kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWVoJ2baciMrtk
