Uncle is farbror in Swedish.

The 'fa' is pronounced like 'fu' in 'fumble'. The r's are pronounced in a Nordic way. You can probably find some clips with Swedish talk on youtube, and hear how it is pronounced.

The 'o' is pronounced kind of like in the word 'goo'.

How do you say that was great in Swedish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on the context.

The literal translation would be "det var stort" which can be used but is considered slang since it's borrowed from English.

Other suggestions are:

"Det var toppen" or just "Toppen" - Can be used for anything that's really good

Det var skönt - That was enjoyable/pleasureable (should only be used when there is actual enjoyment felt)*

Det var bra - That was good (can be used generally)

Det var jättebra - That was really good (best approximation for general use)

"Snell-a". Spelled "Snälla".

Actually, it is often expressed indirectly, through phrasing and intonation: "Would you be able to open the window" or similar.

In a shop or office, you would normally use "tack": "Tre koppar kaffe, tack" - "three cups of coffee, please".

How do you say talk in Swedish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the context. Both 'tala' and 'prata' can mean 'talk' in different situations.

'Prata' is used more often and 'tala' leans slightly more to 'speak' as 'a speech' is 'ett tal'.

When in doubt use 'prata'.

It may sound confusing that the same word can be translated in two different ways but if you look at the following sentence:

Hon pratade i två timmar i telefonen.

She spoke for two hours on the telephone.

or

She talked for two hours on the telephone.

Both kinda mean the same thing.
