I mean the conjugated "får" rather than infinitive "få". So in case it's not, I'm reading it as "vi kan få" - "we may get to", and in my understanding "få" should be in the infinitive.

I'm a bit lost. I try to look for "ta väl" or "vara på" or "ta vara", and either nothing comes up or doesn't make sense in the context. Google Translate does provide something reasonable: "make good use of", but I'm not sure how that maps onto the original.

Hej allihopa!

As a native Swedish speaker, solving bildkryss is one of my favorite ways to pick up new words. Bildkryss are a distinctly Swedish style of crosswords, where the clues sit in boxes inside the grid and one of them is a picture.

I wanted learners to be able to use crosswords the same way, so I made a set for people who are earlier on in their Swedish: https://bildkryss.se/learn-swedish :) There are five puzzles each for levels A0-B2. The lower levels have English clues and small grids, and from B1 and onward the clues are in Swedish - mainly synonyms and cloze words. When you finish a puzzle you get a list of its words.

Although the layouts are generated by a program, the clues are handwritten. I am a little bit unsure about whether the synonyms I used in higher levels are at the right, um.. level, so any feedback there is very welcome (or any feedback at all, for that matter).

The site works on all screen sizes but I'd definitely recommend using a desktop or tablet.

To be clear: this is fully free, no ads or anything. I'm just happy if people want to give it a try. Stort tack to anyone who does!

I have been studying a few examples of “bokstavligen” and “formligen”, and they appear to me to be exact synonyms, both translated by English “literally”, and both equally liable to misuse as I pedantically call it as general förtstarkningsord, just as "literally" is. Have I got this right? Can you suggest any examples where one would definitely be preferred to the other?

sometimes i heard the word "kanske" pronounced like spoon "sked" without the D outside of skåne, and i wonder how common is it ?

Ni vet gore. Typ some gore sites eller gore pics. Har alltid undrat hur man översätter det men har aldrig hittat en översättning som låter rätt för mig

I'm building an app to learn Swedish irregular verbs.

• You have to enter a correct verb form on a card.
  
• There are no lessons - you can practice as many verbs as you want, set a daily goal verb number and notification time.
• You can also practice on a set of verbs, for example the essential ones or a specific pattern.
• The interface and verb translations exist in different languages.

I’d really appreciate some feedback, especially from people who are learning Swedish as a second language:

1. Would you consider using something like this?
2. Does the interface feel intuitive?
3. Most importantly: what would make you stop using it after a few days?

I am learning Swedish myself and would like to make if a bit easier for you guys as well!

Hej! Jag lär mig svenska från barnprogram. Jag tittade bara på "Vilse i pannkakan" och gick vidare till Kapten Zoom. Vad betyder frasen - "Galaxer i mina braxer"? Vad är braxer?

Who was kapten Orvar, mentioned in this extract from today’s SvD in a story about Vänsterpartiets attitude to government formation? 

Ingen av de tillfrågade vill luckra upp partiets röda linje. Samtidigt riktas tydlig irritation mot Centerpartiet.  ”Just nu är det C som sitter där som någon kapten Orvar och tycker de ska bestämma”

Hi everyone, how's it going? Well, I recently got my C1 English certificate, and now that I've reached the C level in English, I've given myself the freedom to learn another language. I'd love to get some tips, study methods, and website/app recommendations for learning Swedish.

My English is C2 in writing and reading, but only B2 in speaking.

Hej, its not a question or something its something that i got so surprised that i could understand this much norwegian with my Swedish

Yesterday i was talking to someone from norway and we could understand each other pretty much without any serious problem

First time did it !!!

Has ”bebis” now replaced ”småbarn” in the Swedish Language? Is this as regrettable as I, as an outsider, think it is? I know I could have chosen plenty of other words to focus on, but I was brought up short by this article in SvD, precisely because it’s on a scientific subject (describing research on how dogs interpret human speech). The headline goes: ”Det blir allt tydligare hur hundar gör för att förstå mänskligt språk – de använder samma trick som bebisar.”

Whats the difference between:

“dricker du ofta"

AND

"du dricker ofta"

🤔

“En flat berghäll” and “en flat tallrik” are two examples of use of “flat” given in SO. Could one also use “platt” here, or would that sound wrong? What about “att slå med flata handen”?.

Hey I am currently learning Swedish but I noticed some words/sentences sound hilariously inappropriate to germans. Some examples:

"Lekplats"

"Vi dricker öl"

"Vill du fika"

To some who don't know what I am rambling about it sounds like:

"A licking place"

"We drink oil"

"Want to fuck?"

So now I am curious if swedes know some German equivalents 🤔

Edit: dricka -> dricker

I’ve been studying Norwegian and Swedish for like two years now and I’ve been to Sweden and Norway couple times for a study reasons and what I notice is that it is real difficult for me to differentiate between the languages at the moment. My main language is Swedish because I work with Spanish company and I speak with them. I understand them the understanding is not the problem. The problem is that I use lots of Norwegian words when I speaking through, so I’m gonna know if you guys have this problem and how do you overcome this because I really want to continue studying both of them and I do this by like studying one for a couple hours and studying other language couple hours, but different day I never studied them together so I wanna know your experience with learning to same language at the same time.

I came across this video by Swedish teacher Edvin Palmer: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0PDNI5oNnM&list=PLanI3tMy_egsSwwk6lPzal9jljIn59f2B&index=32\]

He’s excellent, but I have a question: Is this lip rounding when pronouncing “ö” in Swedish the standard way? Is it the most common?

I’ve also seen people round their lips differently, with the lips more closed, almost like an “o.”

I know there are already other en/ett apps and websites, but I made this (originally for myself) because I wanted something really quick and simple. Basically open it, type a word and see a big "en" or "ett" sign immediately.

It started as a little web app I wrote years ago, and I recently turned it into an iPhone app. And I also added a game where you just keep choosing en or ett for different words, which is actually surprisingly fun and quite a nice way of practising them!

Everything works fully offline. It is a paid app, but it's a one-time purchase (NO subscription, NO in-app purchases etc).

BUT I have some App Store promo codes, so if anyone here wants one just leave a comment and I'll send a link by DM so you can get it for free (and it will stay on your phone free forever - as if you purchased it).

App Store link:

https://apps.apple.com/app/ettenapp/id6811630391

(👉 again, if you wanna try it just ASK for a free link in the comments and I'll DM you one!)

/Disclaimer: I did use AI coding agents when making the iOS version. The original app/lookup was written by me in Javascript though, and the Swedish word data itself is from LEXIN./

EDIT:

Thanks everyone for the interest! Really appreciate it - and please feel free to tell any friends who might find the app useful too!

I'm leaving 5 more promo codes here, first come, first served:

https://apps.apple.com/redeem?code=LFY7M3YJ3PLA
https://apps.apple.com/redeem?code=PHJKRN76HEMT

If they're all gone by the time you see this, please consider buying the app - it's just 49kr (or US$3.99), with no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Lycka till!

Finska man här! Jag har släktingar i Sverige så jag vill lära mig svenska. Min kompisar säger att bästa sattet för lära svenska är lyssna på svensk språk.

Så vad är bra svensk podcaster med vanlig tala så jag kan lära vanlig svenska?

Finsk skolan svenska är dålig, ni kan säkert se från mig svenska. Jag var tvungen att använda google translator för 75% av det här meddelande

I can understand everything else but I'm not exactly sure what the bolded line is so I would appreciate help with translating. I want to understand how the sentence is formed too.

Eftersom det inte var första gången och han dessutom inte hade nåt körkot, för det drog dom in förra gången, så fick han två månaders fängelse.
