This video is a favorite on Jerusalem*

[11Moonwalk11]

Why did you pronounce W just like you did V? It thought W was like du-bell-u-vee-uh or something

[mrtumnum]

lol V och W är ju inte uttalat som V :D V = [ve] W= [dubbelve]

------

lol V and W isnt pronounced as V :D V = [ve] W= [dubbelve]

[RedigtBra]

Fail at W :D

[ByabyaChannel]

its vowels not wovels

[SimonK91]

@AirCanada04 W is "dubbel vee" (double v), in this video Ä and Ö do not sound the same, they only have that small distinguish when saying them in the alphabet. // from a swedish guy

[fredrik1138]

@AirCanada04

You need to sharpen your ears my friend. There is a clear difference in her pronounciations of ä and ö. Furthermore this is a guide on how the letters sound, not on what they are called. If you for instance met a person named Wallenberg and called him "dubela veeyr-allenberg", no one would be able to make any sense of it.

[RemindMeToForgetYou]

Am I the only one who noticed the misspelling of the word "vowel"? Ö.ö

[DarkManagerful]

i think u got ur w wrong but im not see im a beginner and saw this other video so ....yeah..just saying

[ZHEREAL]

Your accent's got me wondering... are you Norwegian or Swedish?

[ninaemilia]

@ZHEREAL Lovely question .... I am swedish, though I lived in Norway when I made this sweet thing.

[ZHEREAL]

@ninaemilia Interesting! And you got some of the Norwegian accent! I assume you were very young when you were in Norway, otherwise this phenomenon wouldn't be possible. You probably was in your teens. Am I mistaken?

[ninaemilia]

@ZHEREAL I was there between age 22 and 25, but I am also quite good at adopting the sound melody I hear around me. I live in UK now so that accent has probably disappeared.

[ZHEREAL]

@ninaemilia Thank you for the explanation. Indeed some people can acquire a new accent more promptly.

[AbsolutelyFreeWeb]

Hehe, well this is the Swedish alphabet as pronounced in dalarna! :D Very sexy...

[TheScarletChick101]

ive been trying to learn Svenska for a while now, its been hard to find pronunciations of the alphabet =)

[simpo187]

nice nu kan min föräldrar alfabetet tack

[sabena206]

funny how most of the letters have the same pronunciation as in portuguese.

[monocomegalleta]

De använder inte mycket bokstaven "W"

O.o.

[skaterkid915]

Wait... I'm wrong... Don't listen to me.

[skaterkid915]

A wovel is the 3 letters with the dots and circles over them.

[pepskel]

lol at the P, XD

[tromboneJTS]

You can't copyright the alphabet!

[tromboneJTS]

What the hell is a wovel?

[freoltic]

french pronounciation is very similar to all german tongue, not like english. french is speak by the german who speak latin tongue, i think

[Psychiatrist78]

9 wovels??)they meant 9 vowels,haha:)

[hehehehehe12495]

ä !

[stabmyscars]

The I and the J sound the same.. How...? ):

[Th3GiRLNeXTD00r]

@stabmyscars im from sweden and they dont sound the same to me =)

[YuukixxKuranKaname]

@stabmyscars J sounds more like G in Germany and I sound like i in fish



[Getaro]

You have such a beautiful voice...

[charliesheenbastard]

The girl who read this is from the region of gothenburg is my guess :) The dialect tells it all :)

[ninaemilia]

@charliesheenbastard Gosh! No I'm from Borlänge. Got it all wrong.

[nightflowerjasmine]

thanks :D :D

[LauraMW12345]

wovels.. :)

[nale35]

u know u can type a ä or å without having ä or å on your keyboard lol

[Minidarkei]

sounds good =)

[jimidrix5]

i loved that music and that she said "wowels"... jag alskar dig :)

[MrsKeylum]

I am trying to learn svenska cuz one day i'd love to move to this fucking awesome country.

Moreover swedish guys are so hot *.*

[XactFilms]

haha definitely a good reason but sweden isnt so cool as it seems =\

[MrsKeylum]

don't be jealous!!!! ;) haha

[heydontcare]

@MrsKeylum hmm the girls are hotter!! :P

[MrsKeylum]

both :D

[linnaingmyo]

@MrsKeylum 

[linnaingmyo]

thanks @linnaingmyo

[1220robin]

@MrsKeylum It's not all that awesome, tbh. Way too many immigrant lately, and most of the 'Swedish' guys are called Muhammed and immigrated from the Middle East.

NOTE to anyone who wants to flame me: This is not racism. Not anywhere in this text have I insulted any specific race. By saying "immigrants" I mean people from any origin - Iraqi, Danish, English, whatever. What I'm talking about is politics, with a bad immigration-policy and too few jobs for this many people.

[MrsKeylum]

Jag älskar SVENSKA !!!!!!

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

You don't say w like v. You say dubbelv! >:OOO

[Lady86A]

Im trying to learn Swenska because id love to visit Sweden this year! wish me luck! Thank you for the video , quite helpful!

[UnknownSwePatriot]

Good luck!

[Nschm44]

The difference between o and å?

[UnknownSwePatriot]

The pronounciation, hehe

[Nschm44]

Oh I see. So...

Swedish Å is equal to English O.

Swedish O is equal to English U.

Swedish U is equal to German Ü or Finnish Y.

Swedish Y is equal to... Swedish I ?!

[UnknownSwePatriot]

Well.. O is harder if you can say that.. Hehe.. The english U does not realy sound like the swedish O. About the german ü, it is more lika an swedish Y. And no I and Y are not the same, hehe.

[danieeel31]

W = Doobel Ve, not only Ve.

[jagborisundsvall]

w är ju dubbel v, inte bara v

[katumeshu]

this was really helpful :D It was easier than I thought when I hear the pronunciation from a native Swede ^_^

Thanks for making the video! I really appreciate it!

[katherine83095]

thank you so much! my best friend ebba is from sweden and she is too embarrassed to speak swedish in front of our friends, so she told me to look up words i asked her to pronounce!

thankyouuu :)

[ryancociello]

Wow! I had no idea that the swedish alphabet were so similar to the portuguese.

[Kadoffel]

Is the R vibrating? (tongue or throat?)

Sorry for the suggestiveness, lol.^^

[ninaemilia]

tip of the tongue...

[charliesheenbastard]

@Kadoffel tip of the tounge indeed :)

not like the german R, which is down the throat :)

[tissetatten]

@Kadoffel its a normal r

[Dysharmonya]

Thank you for the video. I have started to learn swedish and though I know how to pronounce these it is always nice to hear them being pronounced by natives, so I can improve my pronunciation.

[Ewhelina]

oh it's so cool that others try to learn swedish! :D yey svenska! x)

[BrightSunset]

des V and W have the same pronounciation? it sounds to me like they have

[ninaemilia]

Yes they are pronounced the same. In that way W is an unnecessary letter in the swedish alphabet. Same with Q (sounds like K). But W is called "dubbel-v" (double v) - my mistake in the video (so that charming girls like the one below get some space to be sarcastic - very important).

[mongwai89]

@BrightSunset No u can say "Dubbel V" to W

[SwedenGirl97]

why fuck did she say V when it whas W?

V is ve

W is dubbel ve!!!!!

[Christoffre]

Becouse W is never used in Swedish. Its only used in words that we taken from the English, like Wow and Windows. Do you say "Dubbel ve, dubbel ve, dubbel ve" or "ve, ve, ve"?

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

Va? Vem säger "ve, ve, ve"!? O.o

[Christoffre]

Alla.

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

Nej. Det är inte sant. Du har inte träffat alla. Förresten säger jag dubbelve. :)

[Christoffre]

Grattis, du är den första jag träffat, förutom brandmannen Kajan i Hipp Hipp, som säger Dubbel Ve.

[rottenpancakes]

Finns det folk som inte säger dubbel-ve? Var bor ni? Kiruna?

[Th3GiRLNeXTD00r]

@rottenpancakes hur skulle man annars säga w ?? jag säger dubbel-ve

[Turion10]

So basically v and w sound exactly the same and ä and ö also sound exactly the same? I know pretty much nothing about swedish but it interests me a lot, it sounds beautiful.

[Yrkhwulf]

Ä and Ö do not sound the same.

[labanlabansson]

V and W sound exactly the same. ä and ö don't sounds the same.

[Christoffre]

Ä and Ö sounds totally diffrent. But you must almost be a native swede to hear the diffrent.

[Deifux]

Swedes and Norwegians pronounce the alphabet the same, but we have ÆØÅ.. But norwegian has been influenced by the danish language, so norwegian is pretty much danish spoken in swedish if you get what i mean, atleast the dialekt spoken in the Oslo area ^^

[sebastienaction]

I, J, and Y all sound the same....

I wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

[1337Figaro]

I think she should have pronounced the "W" right instead of saying "V"

you say "Dubbel V" to "W"

Dubbel = Double

[gladizh]

Wow, idiotiskt tänkande right there..

Hur man uttalar old med "Dubbel V"..

Inte hur man säger bokstaven..

[DragonLord1975]

My wife's learning Swedish herself. So I plan on learning the ropes, too.

[humblejonathan]

Thank you so much. Will be in Sweden in less than 2 months. I have a  residential / work permit for 2 years and will like to learn the language fluently witnin 5 months.

Thanks again your my only favorite

[kakaze]

more concentration on the hard ones would be good. B, C, etc... are obvious but A,E,I,Y; etc... agghhhh!

[Sanyi66]

Wow :)

The pronunciation is similar to the Hungarian :) (Hungarian alphabet contains 44 letters (14 vowels)).

[erguwi]

Skaru lära dig svenska fåru väl fan kolla på Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter eller vare heter

[MannenQ18plus]

W = Dubbel-V för fan... xD

[SlytanX]

I agree with jettbugg, thank you for this video ninaemilia

[jettbugg]

PERFECT Alphabet video...tack!!

[fritredage]

men faktisk men bruger ikke altid 'w'. det er ikke skandinaviensk bogstaver.

[Premachu]

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG BOG BOY

[gladizh]

Actually.. Svenska alfabetet har 28 bokstäver. "Dubbel Ve" är inte en svensk bokstav. Inget svenskt ord innehåller W..

[Shyarm]

wärdshus...

[gladizh]

lol

[1337Figaro]

Wander = långsamt jitter

Warrant = en teckningsoption med lång löptid

Där hade du 2 ord på W

[gladizh]

Ursprung?

Wander = Vandra

Warrant = Garanti

[Krydin]

Nej men många namn innehåller W så man måste ju ändå ha med det tycker jag.

[gladizh]

Inget svenskt namn..

[Krydin]

Wallenstam, Wahlgren, Wallander, Westerlund, Wiberg osv, listan kan göras hur lång som helst, Man använde W jättemycket förr i tiden och det är därför naturligt att W finns kvar i just namn även om bokstaven fösvunnit i övrigt.

[swede85]

men inga förnamn men bokstaven W

[JaKFail]

vafan sadu V på W? de ska va Dubbel V

[ninaemilia]

Jaja

[herrGreg]

wovel or vowels as they are actually called

[cherrylipsgirl]

what is the difference between "O" and "A" with "°"???

[igelkotten1234]

Sunds like this

O=O

Ö= ue

Å= oe

Ä= AE

Not exaktly correkt but its hard to deskribe in text.

[ninaemilia]

Big difference ... O in swedish sounds like "oo", as in "tool". Ö is more like in "fur" or the french "eu" (like, une, deux...).

A is pretty much like the english version, while Å is more close to the english O ("fore"). Ä is like in "fair" or "best".

[LumosFire]

vad är wovels??? hehehe

[wiebestavast]

:) It sounds as if there is hardly any differencce between the letters v and w? Is that so?

[LumosFire]

i'm not sure if this is right. i've always thought that the swedish "W" is like "duble-ve"

[dabubbsta1]

I learned it that way too...

[Elinito]

Yes, you're right.

V = ve

W = dubbel ve ("dubble v" in english)

[LinaLu91]

the sound isn't different but the name of the letter is dubbel v..

[wiebestavast]

Thank you for letting me know!

[swedeliner]

There is no difference in pronunciation between V and W, but just as you do we say even double-W (dubbelW). There are three letters in the Swedish language that are words;

/ i = in, or inside/ å = river /

ö = island. /

"Jag bor i en stuga på en ö nära en å." = "I live in a cottage on an island near a river"

The English "river" in not the correct translation. En å (En å) in Swedish its much smaller and can be very long. Any Swedes here who know how to translate å better?

[tampik007]

maybe a creek? å=creek?

[swedeliner]

tampik007/ Yes, thats a better translation.

[Cedef36]

hahha "and 9 wovels" that cracked me up well

[debunker1905]

What's the diff. on the pronunce of V and W ???

[Mforsstedt]

There's no difference - W is just a left-over from another time in history. It's the same case with K and Q.

[ninaemilia]

As Mforsstedt said. I made a mistake in the video, and W is actually called "dubbel-v" (double v), but it is pronounced the same as V.

[dicnore]

Swedish is graceful.

It's pediatric to me though I'm not a native.

I'm lovin' it.

Much easier than those fuckin' French or German.

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

French is not difficult. It's actually easy. xD I'm Swedish. :)

[foundinnocent]

Ja, det är inte så svårt! Jag lärde mig att tala svenska och det är roligt. Tack.

[cookiemonxchu]

omg thats hard to me!! i thought french alphabet is sooooooo hard. now, my idea was changed. and im wrong..

[Electriquemoi]

Why so many wovels? greedy wovelly bastards.

[schatzi321]

thats exactly like german except a few leters off.

[Lunaquois]

NO U

[Lunaquois]

You're an idiot.

[Sanqyxx]

W = dubbel-v ..

...inte v

[vortexknight68]

can anyone help me please ^-^ how do I say v,w they sounded the same to me =(

[Mforsstedt]

They do sound the same - no differences whatsoever. W is just a little bit more upper class ;)

[vortexknight68]

Ok ty ^-^

[842a]

maybe you already got an answer for this but the swedish w is pronounced dubbel v

[vortexknight68]

yes i've already been told ^-^

But ty for your help anyway

[Lunaquois]

Wovels? Rofl. Vowels.

[Stellairisel]

Cool!

[Teme69hki]

Note: That also sounds like finnish alphabet! It include also same letters.

[locolopelocolope]
