I am learning Swedish (kinda) - General

What are some cool Swedish phrases, and translations please?

I want to go to Sweden someday, but the only comprehensive language course available to me right now is Norwegian. Should I learn that, and use it as a basis for learning Swedish later? Or will that only fuck me over?

Norwegian is close to swedish, Zeke. But not the same pronounciation at all, if you learn norwegian you will still sound like a norwegian talking english, they have different pronounciation.

So I basically would be screwing myself over by learning Norwegian considering I'd rater go to Sweden someday?

At least to me, anyway. Still doesn't answer my question. Will learning Norwegian be beneficial to someone wanting to travel anywhere in Scandinavia or only beneficial to those going to Norway?

I think I didn't say I'd rather learn Norwegian, I just said I feel it sounds more elegant. I'd get more use out of Swedish so that's probably the one I'll attempt to learn.

"Now hell is cooked pork roast" is a Swedish joke? That's whimsical.

The translator failed big time

But as PjaNoo sid before he edited it away: "Nu fan är det kokta fläsket stekt" will translate into something in the lines of: "What the hell? The cooked pork is now roasted" And it's a strange swedish idiom meaning approx. "now you've gone too far" or "you should'nt have done that" or "Oh no you didn't"

It is actually tested and proved that the average norwegian understands swedish and danish better than the swedes and danes understand each other/norwegian. This is most likely caused by the fact that Norway has been under both Denmark and Sweden, hence our language bears marks from both, and contains words from both. I think norwegian is the way to go if you want to be able to travel around in scandinavia. And in the norwegian language we have three genders instead of two, as in swedish. This makes us better suited for understanding danish, which also has three genders. Lykke til! [i]Good luck![/i]
