what we're buying at IKEA (underrated products)

[@Dbear1977]

I don’t know that Becky will see this, but Ikea’s Tradfri bulbs can be paired with the Philips Hue system. An affordable way to expand the Hue system.

[@TheSorryGirls]

OMYGOD ok that’s sooo good to know

[@BSWVI]

Forget Becky, I saw it and Didn't Know!! Game changer!!! I love Philips Hue, and I love Ikea. And you for this info!!n 😂❤

​​@@TheSorryGirlsgonna need a video now on things you've learned (or DIY ideas) from the comment section and how you have/would implement them

[@thekwendyhome]

that's brilliant!

[@todeluuee]

As a swede, this was the most fun I had all day. Especially when I saw the Kärrknipprot word and burst out laughing hahaha. Poor Rachel, you did yor best!

[@TheSorryGirls]

She really did😂❤

[@MalteEgon]

SAME!! Hej hej från mig!

[@thekwendyhome]

Thanks for having me, TheSorryGirls! It was so much fun ❤

[@HairofHeritage]

Rochelle definitely killed it! She said begripa perfectly! You should have given her that point!!! Next time you need a native Swedish speaker to be the judge! 🇸🇪

[@helenjholmberg3411]

Fun fact about the table Baggboda, it was originally called Cromi and was designed in 1971 by Karin Mobring. She was the first female designer at IKEA!

[@thekwendyhome]

Way to go Karin!

[@lsamoa]

It's funny how all the items that they thought weren't typical of IKEA were super classic IKEA staple items back in the 70s-80s hehe. I swear everyone of my Swedish relatives had different versions of those in their homes back then.

[@theforgottencompanion]

As a swede I absolutely loved this video, and just seeing you guys try to pronounce the words was a great time. It's fun that you also decided to translate the words, but in true google translate fashion some words were translated a little wonky/ too literally; the main one being Ridspö which can be literally translated as riding stick, but it actually means horse whip- as in the whip you might use when horseback riding, not a stick that you ride. Also, Måla does translate to paint, but it's the action of painting, not paint itself; and Kärrknipprot is a plant in the orchid family, not swamp knotweed. Edit: something else that is good to know about Ikea is that a lot of things are named after locations in Sweden, so Bondskäret (for example) isn't a word or thing, it's a small town; same with Sotenäs, Nissafors, and Baggboda (and probably some other things in this video, I just can't remember them all)

[@CaliMel184]

It looks like IKEA. They have a whole line of floral fabrics like that and have forever. They usually have bright colorful stuff like that. i know everyone thinks of them as sterile white stuff but that's not really the whole picture. The textiles have always been insane prints.

[@jennifergraham3752]

Yes that’s what I was thinking too.

[@NimseyLou]

I thought the same. But, I have been buying IKEA since the early 90s.

[@claudiakarl7888]

[@viivi4196]

I'm not a swede but we had to learn swedish at school in finland since finland has two official languages and the other is swedish, so hearing people try to pronounce swedish words is always so funny! edit: rochelle should've gotten a point for begripa

[@hannaandrsson]

Begripa was literally like the best pronunciation out of all of them!

[@nikkislovesyou]

I LOVED Wendy as a guest! I actually didn't know of her before, but her energy was so fun and relaxed, I really enjoyed her dynamic with the other girls! Would love to see her back. 😘

[@thekwendyhome]

the Sorry Girls made everything cozy and fun! Thanks for the love Nikki ❤

[@rikkilostyournumber]

I look at that little window on the ikea desk and wonder if I could waterproof it to make it a little terrarium to look at. I would have to drill into the glass in a few spots cause otherwise it would perpetually be covered in condensation. Orrr... Kelsie could make a little miniature world in there.

[@TheSorryGirls]

Oh that would be soooo cuuuttteee😊

[@Meelameels]

You could waterproof it with silicone possibly

[@tamaraatkinson940]

Fun episode! The pronunciation contest made me think of Nick Lewis and his refusal to even try with IKEA product names.

Just FYI, my sister started shopping at IKEA while living in Europe in the 1970s, even driving to Sweden for shopping before it was widespread, and it was always pronounced “ee-Kay-uh.” Adjusting to the Canadian/American “I-kee-uh” was a challenge!!

[@johannajosephine8874]

Yeah I live in the Netherlands and they say ee Kay uh for ikea and niv aay uh for Nivea 😂

I actually buy my granddaughters the refill of the roll of paper also for their table that has the holder on it. They also have awesome fabric Band-Aids, a large amount for only a few dollars, Walmart cannot touch the price of their Band-Aids. The cart, I am having back issues and I am needing surgery in a couple weeks I have to live downstairs in my home right now and in our downstairs closet I have put that cart in my closet to put my clothes on to keep them out of the way so I’ve made a makeshift bedroom closet downstairs using it and it’s been handy.

[@djximchi5854]

There are some articles online on IKEA’s naming systems, definitely recommend reading! A lot of them are place names such as towns, parishes and lakes

[@1_viewer]

I am so proud I guessed Wendy from your last episode’s hint! Love her and her husband so much! Fun seeing Ikea gems. 💎

[@TheSorryGirls]

Loved having Wendy! And glad you liked the vid!😁

[@tulipuu]

This was SUCH a great episode!!! Loved the energy with Wendy, and a fantastic overview of cool IKEA products that I had no idea existed. AND: Rochelle was spot on with her pronunciation, even when you didn't give her the points. (She might secretly be Swedish! 💙💛💙)

[@TheSorryGirls]

glad you enjoyed!❤

[@marlenealdalki4209]

*LOL* Please do not try to learn Swedish from IKEA. ;-) When you just translate the words directly, the translation would be as you have written it. But the words are not used that way in the Swedish language. Many times two words have been put together that are not put together otherwise.

[@TheSorryGirls]

Oooo interesting! Definitely noted😅😂

[@lsamoa]

@@TheSorryGirls A lot of the names are geographical locations though. They have a sofa that was named after my old neighbourhood for example. And I had that sofa when I lived there hehe.

[@_cherry_marly_]

I always thought this is common sense, that the words are more for fun than to have a correct meaning 😅 At least from my german view point.

[@Lollooowh]

IKEA is also an abbreviation of the founders name (Ingvar Kamprad) I.K and the two later letters are from Elmtaryd (which is an older spelling of the town Älmtaryd where Ingvar grew up) and lastly Agunnaryd which is the parish where Älmtaryd is located. In short: IKEA is an abbreviation of Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd, the more you know 🌈

[@katymaloney]

Yaaay, Wendy! I too have had my Rae Dunn moments... I do love those mugs, they are big, and they truly are indestructible! xD They take up a lot of space though, I really need to invest in a "china cabinet" of sorts to display my little collection and free up the space in my kitchen for the rest of my stuff!

[@TheSorryGirls]

hahahaha you definitely should!

[@thekwendyhome]

You know Rae Dun hahaha the display cabinet would make a huge difference! Thanks for the love and all the best Katy 🫶

[@NYdeso]

the RIDSPO desk would make such a good sewing table!!! light for tracing patterns, plus storage for things you want to access easily

[@bonesonstones1]

IKEA has taken such a horrific nose-dive quality wise, hardly any pieces are worth their cost anymore. They also have questionable sustainability practices, seeing as they produce furniture with old wood. So that's something to consider if the planet is important to you.

[@mmn8749]

Very good points

[@leeleeskiski]

I loved Becky's breakdowns of her picks. I'd love to see a more in-depth breakdown of how she'd fine and style those kinds of pieces.

[@MyEu4ia]

I love that Rachael looks the most swedish but she botched all the names so hard xD hehe! This was really fun to watch as a swede ^^

[@MyEu4ia]

Okay , I commented mid video. She didn’t botch all of them 😁 she does sound more Norwegian than Swedish I think :) Also you guys let Wendy win. Some of her words were unacceptable and you still approved it. Becky said a word perfectly but got no point! But I see what you did there ;) wendy got a gift.

[@manuela_kral4983]

Hahaha those 'wreath mallows' remind me of the German 'Prilblumen' of the 70s. In those days a German dishwashing detergent with the name 'Pril' came with stickers on every bottle which showed such simple flowers in crazy colors. People would stick them everywhere in their homes, on tiles, on furniture on school bags etc. They were literally everywhere, it was absolutely hilarious! 🤪🤣Rapidly they became cult and are THE icon of the 70s in Germany and Austria.

[@kat-92]

Loved this. Although I live in NZ so we don't have ikea (maaaybe in Auckland idk). Its super fun watching and seeing new ideas, everyones thoughs for uses and different style preferences.

[@virginiakrueger4780]

the orange flowered bedding is so late 60's! I could how a pic of a dress that is quite similar from my childhood. Not a fan, but it is spot on 60's fabric. As for the low slung yellow chair is a nightmare for us who are in our sunset years. Anything with knees below hips is not fun to climb out of with arthritis

We have Jattebo in our home theater, and it's a lovely place for the family to hang out.
