Here’s an amazing video on one of the quirkier bits of Swedish noun pluralization - for all of you Swedish learners out there!
The whole channel is awesome, please check out the rest of his videos as well if you haven’t already! I just noticed today he has a Patreon page, but there aren’t very many supporters there yet so please consider supporting his work if you like it:

You know the feeling where you say “bonjour” at the same time someone says “bonsoir” and you feel like dying and hiding under a rock because it’s evening and you are an idiot
But then there is the secret elation of the opposite happening when it’s 8pm and you say “bonsoir” and the other guy says “bonjour” at the same time and you have the tiny burst of joy of knowing you are right and they are wrong
hey! i'm making kind of a list for myself, of musicians and bands singing in their native language so i could listen to the languages I'm learning, could you rec me some finnish ones? Because pretty much all the stuff I know right now is in english, probably the only one in finnish i know is PMMP? (and my love for finnish language and finland started like 13 years ago because of a finnish band, and i kind of went from there but had a huuuuge 'hiatus' from it so my knowledge is shit now :D)

I know we’re all pretty down rn so here, have some cute pics of svalbard reindeer
it’s the smallest subspecies of reindeer on the planet and it loves you
the svalbard reindeer is also the northernmost herbivore in the world, and during winter they survive an average of −16°C (3°F) weather
look at those small fluffy ears and kind eyes, the reindeer is cheering you all on to stay strong in these trying times
just like the arctic winter, this too shall pass
the svaldbard reindeer proves that even under the most extreme of circumstances, life finds a way. so please, please keep on fighting
this baby doesn’t see full sunrise for like six months out of the year and it’s still kickin
In Swedish, “vegetables” are called ”grönsaker” which translates to ”green things”. Lawn is ”gräsmatta” which means ”grass carpet” and I think that’s beautiful.

Hi! I have an oral exam in swedish soon, so I was wondering if you could make a list of, let's say phrases, that can buy me some time to think? For example: Im a little nervous; can you repeat the question; its on the tip of my tongue; just a second I will remember; im thinking but nothing comes to mind... if you have more phrases or anything that you use when youre stuck please add to this list and THANK YOU SO MUCH! Also its completely fine if you dont want to do this, I know its a lot of work
Hej!I hope this list will be helpful! If you want any more translations don’t hesitate to write me again!
Jag är lite nervös - I’m a little nervousKan du repetera frågan?/Kan du ta frågan igen? - Can you repeat the questionVad var frågan? - What was the question?Jag har det på tungan - It’s on the tip of my tongue (lit. I have it on the tongue)Ge mig en sekund så kommer jag komma ihåg/minnas det - Just a second I will rememberJag tänker men jag kommer inte på någonting - I’m thinking but nothing comes to mind…Ursäkta vad sa du? - Sorry what did you say?Vad heter det…? - What is it called…?
Lycka till på ditt prov!//Good luck on your exam!
Personally, I’d rather say Kan du upprepa frågan? than Kan du repetera frågan? but I guess it is a matter of preference 🌞
Yes! I was looking for that word but couldn’t remember it! Tack!
