Pronunciation
This section is designed to familiarize you with the sounds of
Swedish using our simplified phonetic transcription. You’ll find the
pronunciation of the Swedish letters and sounds explained below,
together with their “imitated” equivalents. To use this system,
found throughout the phrase book, simply read the pronunciation
as if it were English, noting any special rules below.

The Swedish alphabet has 29 letters, the last three of which

I are the vowels å, ä and ö. Unlike English, the letter y is a

vowel, meaning that Swedish has nine vowels. Swedish
vowels are pure vowel sounds, as opposed to being a
combination of two sounds (diphthongs) as they often
are in English. Diphthongs occur only in dialects such as
Gotländska (spoken on the island of Gotland), Skånska
(spoken in the southern province of Skåne) and Dalmål
(spoken in Dalarna, a province roughly in the middle of the
country.)

Swedish has very consistent rules with respect to the

sounding of individual letters, i.e. all the letters should be
pronounced distinctly, even vowels and consonants at the
ends of words. The Swedish language is often referred to
as a “musical” language due to the fact that the intonation
and rhythm moves up and down, giving the language a
musical quality. Despite this stress, like pronunciation, is
quite consistent. Most words with two or more syllables have
primary stress on the first syllable of the word, and this can
be followed by a secondary stress on the second syllable.
There are also a number of words with two or more syllables
which do not have stress on the first syllable, but often on the
last. Stress has been noted in the phonetic transcription with
underlining.

Swedish vowels are divided into two groups: hard and soft.
A, o, u and å are hard vowels; e, i, y, ä and ö are soft vowels.
Vowels can also be pronounced either long or short. When
a vowel is pronounced “long” the sound is longer, but also
more open and rounder. The “short” vowel sounds are more
closed, literally a “shorter” sound than a long vowel. An easy
rule to remember is that if the vowel is followed by a single
consonant, as in stad (city), it is long. If the vowel is followed
by a double consonant, as in katt (cat), the vowel is short. The
exception to this rule is with the consonants m and n.

Swedish is spoken throughout Sweden as well as in the

coastal regions of Finland and Estonia. While written Swedish
has been standardized, there are characteristic spoken
dialects in certain regions such as Gotland, Skåne and
Dalarna. Other languages, in addition to Swedish, are also
spoken in Sweden, such as Finnish, which is spoken in some
communities in Northern Sweden, and the Såmi (Lappish)
languages, which are spoken in Sami communities throughout
Northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Swedish,
Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic and Faroese (spoken on the
Faroe Islands) are all derived from Old Norse, the language
spoken prior to the Viking Age. Over time, the Scandinavian
languages developed from this common language. Danish,
Norwegian and Swedish are separate and distinct languages
but remain close enough that they are mutually intelligible.
The Finnish and Sami languages belong to a different
language family, of which Hungarian also belongs.

Statens järnvägar or SJ (The Swedish State Railway)

l operates an extensive network covering the entire country,

while also offering international connections to Olso,
Copenhagen and Berlin. The X2000 train, which reaches
speed up to 200 km/h, operates to many of Sweden’s greater
cities and towns. Long-distance trains have restaurant cars
and/or buffets, and there are also sleepers and couchettes
for both first and second class. The system is reliable and
comfortable, and offers a wide range of travel options with
respect to schedule and cost. Discount tickets are available
for young children, families, students and senior citizens.
Special travel cards and programs are also available. On
some trains, marked R or 1C, you must reserve a seat by
purchasing a sittplatsbiljett in addition to your travel ticket.
For extraordinary scenery, try the northern Inlandsbanan
(Inland Railway) service, which runs from Mora in Dalarna to
Gällivare beyond the Arctic circle. The Vildmarksexpressen
(Wilderness Express) has old 1930s coaches and a gourmet
restaurant, and runs on the same line between Östersund and
Gällivare, with stops and excursions.

Public transportation in Sweden is an excellent and

well-maintained system that includes bussar (buses),
tunnelbanan (subways), spårvagnar (trams) and tåg (trains).
All of these run frequently, usually between 5 a.m. and
midnight on weekdays and a bit later on weekends. Most
cities and towns have a bus system, though only a few have
trams and subways. While it is possible to purchase single
tickets for the different modes of public transportation, it is
more cost efficient, not to mention very handy, to purchase a
card or set of tickets if you are going to be using a particular
network frequently. Most major cities have websites that
provide up to date information on routes, tickets and prices;
many of the sites have English as a language option.

The subway in Stockholm is efficient and easy to use. It runs

I from 5:00 a.m. to midnight on weekdays. Tickets, valid for

one hour from the time they are stamped, can be bought
from the ticket booths; discount cards can be purchased from
Pressbyrån (a newsstand). Tickets can also be purchased at
SL Centers, some tourist offices and certain grocery stores.
The public transportation websites will have information on
these retailers and businesses and what types of tickets they
sell. Day and multi-day cards are also available. Subway and
bus tickets in Stockholm are interchangeable.

Regular boat and ferry services, carrying cars and

l passengers, link Sweden to neighboring countries such as

Norway, Denmark and Germany as well as to the U.K. Ferry
services from Stockholm to the vacation destinations of Åland
and Gotland in the Baltic Sea are very popular, as are ferries
to Finland, Estonia and Latvia. Not to be missed are the ferry
and steamer trips from Stockholm to the many surrounding
islands, known as Skärgården (the Archipelago).

Street parking, parking lots and, in some cases, parking

l garages will be available in most of Sweden’s cities and larger

towns. Street parking is generally metered in city centers and
downtown areas. A blue circular sign with a red slash tells
you where parking is prohibited. There will be signs indicating
whether or not parking is free. In places where parking is
metered, a ticket allowing you to park for a specific period of
time will need to be purchased. If this is the case, tickets can
be purchased from a biljettautomat (ticket machine). You pay
for the amount of time you want to park and then place the
ticket on the driver’s side of the car, on the dashboard, so that
the ticket is in plain sight. In some cases, parking may be free,
and there will be signs posted with time limits, usually two or
three hours.

 There is a wide range of accommodation in Sweden, from

l luxury to budget. Budget options include privatrum (private

rooms), much like bed and breakfasts, or stugor (cabins) and
lägenheter (apartments). Cabins and apartments are usually
rented out on a weekly basis, but one- or two-night stays may
also be an option. Information can be found at the local tourist
office; you may also see signs along the road indicating that
there is a vacancy in a cabin nearby. Motorists can look for
motel (motels); these are reasonably priced with restaurants
and car-friendly facilities. When looking for accommodation
in university towns such as Stockholm, Göteborg or Lund,
staying at a sommarhotel (summer hotel) can be a good
choice. Student dormitories are open to tourists in the
summer and are a good option if you are traveling in a group.
Families can enjoy a familjehotell (a family hotel), which
has special rates for groups sharing the same room (three
to six beds). These operate only during the summer months.
All-inclusive accommodation is also available in the form of
a turisthotell (tourist hotel) or pensionat (boarding house).
These are clean and comfortable hotels or guesthouses that
are often found at summer resorts and winter sport areas.
Sweden also offers first class and deluxe hotels, usually found
in larger cities and towns. Prices and amenities vary but the
standards are usually high. Breakfast is usually included.
When booking accommodation during the summer months
and high tourist season it is important to book in advance.

 Accommodations
A service charge as well as moms (sales tax) is included in

I hotel and restaurant bills, but you are expected to round up

a restaurant bill to the nearest krona. Tipping is generally
not expected, but it’s always appreciated if the service has
been exceptionally good. It is customary to give a small tip to
hairdressers, barbers, taxi drivers and porters.

If you are looking for something comfortable and reasonably

l priced, Svenska Turistföreningen or STF (The Swedish

Tourist Club) is an excellent place to start. Here you can
search for accommodations such as vandrarhem (youth
hostels). If you are a member of STF or Hostelling International
you get a member discount. Generally, room options include
dormitory style rooms, split male and female, as well as
smaller private rooms or family rooms. You are usually
expected to bring your own towels and sheets as these
usually are not provided, but can be rented. Shared kitchen
facilities are often available, so that you can buy food at the
local supermarket and prepare your own meals. Some hostels
offer breakfast.

 Internet and Communications
Public phones take either telefonkort (phone cards) or
kreditkort (credit cards). Phone cards are available at
Pressbyrån (newsstand chain) and sometimes at independent
newsstands. You can purchase a cell phone with a prepaid
SJM card, something which is relatively cost efficient and
worthwhile if you will be in Sweden for a longer period. Phone
cards can also be used when dialing from any landline, e.g.
at home of a friend or from a hotel. To call the U.S. or Canada
from Sweden, dial 00 + 1 + area code + phone number.
To call the U.K., dial 00 + 44 + area code (minus first 0) +
phone number. Information on area codes for Sweden and
international dialing codes can be found in the phone book
and are usually available at hotels and youth hostels. The
emergency number in Sweden is 112.

 Eating Out
Although Sweden still has many small, specialty shops, they

I are slowly giving way to köpcentrum (shopping centers),

especially in larger towns. You can still find markets that
sell fresh fruit and vegetables as well as flowers and some
handicrafts. Julmarknaden (the traditional Christmas market)
in Stockholm is reminiscent of times gone by.
Supermarkets can be found in most large towns, cities and
suburbs. Närbutiker (corner shops), as well as Pressbyrån
(newsstand chain) sell a good range of food. In Stockholm,
Östermalmshallen and Hötorgshallen (market halls) sell
fresh meat—including reindeer and moose—fish and poultry.
Swedes enjoy a variety of fish and seafood, and one will find
a good selection in most restaurants and supermarkets. If you
visit Sweden in August, you will no doubt enjoy a kräftkalas
(crayfish party). There is not much meat on a crayfish, but
when helped down with a few glasses of akvavit (aquavit)
and some salad and cheese, it makes for an unforgettable
evening.

 Meals
If you’ve never heard of typical Swedish food, you may at
at least be familiar with the famous smörgåsbord—it is a
buffet meal on a grand scale, presented on a large, beautifully
decorated table. You start at one end of the table, usually
the one with the cold seafood dishes, marinated herring,
Janssons frestelse (literally, Jansson’s temptation, a potato
and anchovies casserole) and salad. Then you work your
way through the cold meat, meatballs, sausage, omelets and
vegetables. Finally, you end at the cheeseboard and desserts.
You’re welcome to start all over again; the price is set,
and you can eat as much as you like. You will find that the
Swedes tend to drink akvavit (aquavit) or beer with the feast,
although an accompanying glass of wine is becoming more
common for those who find akvavit too strong.
At Christmas time, the smörgåsbord becomes a julbord
(Christmas buffet), served in homes and restaurants alike.

 For afternoon tea (usually enjoyed with lemon) or coffee
you can do no better than the typical Swedish konditori
(patisserie or coffee shop). Help yourself to as many cups as
you like while indulging in a slice of prinsesstårta (sponge
cake with cream and custard, covered with green marzipan),
mazarin (almond tart, topped with icing) or a wienerbröd
(Danish pastry). Try saffransbullar (saffron buns) and
pepparkakor (ginger cookies) at Christmas. Most konditori
are self-service, but some of the more elegant ones and
those in hotels provide full service. Coffee is definitely
the national drink, and it is always freshly brewed. It is
commonly drunk black, but ask for mjölk (milk) or grädde
(cream) if you like it that way.

Beer is probably the most popular alcoholic drink in Sweden,

l and there are many good Swedish breweries. Beer with an

alcohol content above 3%, called starköl, can only be bought
in Systembolaget (state liquor store); lättöl and folköl, which
are below 3% alcohol content, can be bought in grocery
stores and supermarkets. You will find many well known
international beers, but the most common are Carlsberg,
Heineken and Swedish brews such as Pripps and Falcon.

Swedes shake hands when greeting someone and when

saying goodbye; this holds for meeting new people but is also
often the case with colleagues or acquaintances. When you
meet som.eone for the first time, shake hands and give your
name. As in many countries, titles are more commonly used by
the older generation, but you will sometimes hear herr (Mr.),
fru (Mrs.) and fröken (Miss) used, as well as professional
; titles, e.g., doktor (doctor), ingenjör (engineer), etc.

Although Sweden still has many small, specialty shops,

l Köpcentrum (malls) are becoming more and more common,

especially in larger towns. Many chain and department stores,
such as Åhléns and Kappahl and Hennes & Mauritz, have
branches all over the country, all of which sell quality goods.
In the well-established Stockholm department store NK, you
can find almost anything, though it can be quite expensive.
Designer goods can be found at DesignTorget in Stockholm.
For traditional handicrafts look for signs with hemslöjd
(handicraft); in Stockholm, these can be found at Svensk
Hemslöjd and Svenskt Hantverk (traditional handicraft
stores). Many towns have colorful markets, where you can
134
 Shopping
buy anything from fresh fruit and vegetables to flowers and
handicrafts. Julmarknaden (Christmas market) in Stockholm
in the Old Town and Skansen (outdoor park and museum), are
historic shopping areas.

When it comes to souvenirs, whether you are looking

for something traditional or modern, you are sure to find
just the thing in Sweden. Träslöjd (woodwork), hemslöjd
(handicrafts), keramik (ceramics) and Swedish crystal are
popular, traditional souvenirs. The dalahäst (Dala horse) is
perhaps one of the most famous and ubiquitous souvenirs;
traditionally, its color is a reddish-orange, but the horses can
now be found in a wide range of colors and sizes. Sweden
is known for its design, which is evident in its selection
of porslin (fine china) and ceramics. Some well-known
manufacturers include Höganäs Keramik and Rörstrand,
the latter being the second oldest porcelain manufacturer
in Europe, founded in 1746. Sweden is also famous for
its glass and crystal, both with respect to design and to
quality. Glasriket (the kingdom of glass) located in Småland,
in southeastern Sweden, has around 15 glass factories,
including some of the most famous glassworks in Sweden,
such as Kosta Boda, Orrefors and Nybro. Factory tours
are often available. In addition to the traditional Swedish
handicrafts mentioned above, sameslöjd (Sami handicraft)
is something that should not be overlooked. The Såmi are
known for their beautiful crafts, which include jewelry and
knives carved from reindeer antlers, jewelry made from
beaded pewter and reindeer leather as well as a wide range
of clothing in reindeer leather and different types of fur.

 Sports and Leisure
Sports and recreation are popular, and there are excellent sports
facilities everywhere, ranging from golf (golf), fiske (fishing),
tennis (tennis) and fotboll (soccer) to skidåkning (skiing)
and ishockey (ice hockey). Tourist offices should have
contact information for the various sports facilities in your
area. Swedes also love the great outdoors, and the country
has much to offer when it comes to bergklättring (mountain
climbing), vandring (hiking), ridsport (horsebackriding),
cykelåkning (cycling), paddla kanot (canoeing) and segling
(boating). Whether you are looking for a day hike or planning
a longer trip, some great choices include Kebnekaise, which
is Sweden’s highest mountain, Kungsleden, Bohusleden or
Padjelantleden. There are a lot of options for cyclists, both
amateurs and professionals, and popular cycle routes include
Kustlinjen and Sverigeleden.

A significant portion of the Swedish coastline is rough,

I covered with granite rocks and cliffs and dotted with beaches.
Most of the sandy beaches are found in the south and on
the southwest coasts. Around Stockholm you can swim and
dive from the small islands in the archipelago—and you can
even swim in the water around Stockholm itself. Inland lakes,
coastal areas and the popular archipelagos of Stockholm
and the West Coast are perfect for boaters, and canoers and
kayakers alike.

Swedes grow up with skiing: cross-country in the south and

downhill in the north. There are many excellent ski resorts
in the north, offering superb skiing and first-class facilities.
Many hotels offer three- to seven-day package deals,
including transportation and accommodation. In June, try
Riksgränsen for a taste of skiing in the midnight sun.
Långfärdsbussar (long-distance buses) are efficient,
relatively cheap and run daily to all major towns and resorts.
Most of the major ski resorts also offer other winter sport
activities like snowmobile safaris, snowshoeing and dog
sledding tours. Ishotellet (Ice Hotel), though not a ski resort
specifically, does offer several of these activities.

Sweden has produced several world famous pop and rock

bands, and music is an important part of contemporary
culture and entertainment. The government generously
supports independent musicians, as well as smaller music
groups, orchestras and symphonies. In larger cities and
towns you’ll easily find concerts and performances to attend,
and information should be listed at the tourist office or its
webpage regarding upcoming conceits and events. If you
are traveling in Sweden during the summer, attending a
music festival is an unforgettable experience. The Peace &
Love Festival in Borlänge, just two hours from Stockholm,
is popular among the younger crowd. Stockholm is home
to Ung08, which is Europe’s largést youth festival, geared
toward 13-19 year olds. The Hultsfred Festival, in southern
Sweden, is the oldest and largest festival. There are also a
host of other music festivals covering everything from folk
music, to pop and jazz.

Grammar--
Regular Verbs
The present tense of regular verbs in Swedish is formed by adding
either -r or -er to the stem. If the stem ends in a, add an -r, if it
ends in a consonant add -er. The past tense is formed by adding
either -de or -te to the basic form. If the basic form ends in a
p, t, k or s, add -te, if not then add -de. The future is formed by
adding the present tense of ska (will) + the verb in the infinitive.
This applies to all persons (e.g., I, you, he, she, it, etc.). Following
are the present, past and future forms of the verbs att köpa (to
buy) and att fråga (to ask). The different conjugation endings are
in bold.

Present Past Future

att köpa (to buy) köper köpte ska köpa

att fråga (to ask) frågar frågade ska fråga

Irregular Verbs
There are a number of irregular verbs in Swedish; these must be
memorized. Like regular verbs, however, the irregular verb form
remains the same, irrespective of person(s). Following are the
present, Dast and future conjugations for a number of important,
useful irregular verbs.

Present Past Future

aft vara (to be) är var ska vara
aft ha (to have) har hade ska ha
att komma (to come) kommer kom ska komma
att göra (to do) gör gjorde ska göra
att gå (to go/walk) går gick ska gå

sing. = singular, inf. = informal, pi. ~ plural

 Reference
Nouns and Articles
The indefinite article (a, an) is expressed with en for common
nouns and with ett for neuter nouns. Generally, common nouns
are those that can be both feminine and masculine (e.g. people,
animals, etc.); neuter nouns have no gender (e.g. house, roof, etc.).
However, there are several exceptions to this rule.

In Swedish, there are five different endings used to form plural

nouns; three correspond to common gender nouns and two to
neuter gender nouns. The following rules apply to nouns in the
indefinite singular.

1. en words that end in -a take an -or ending

2. en words that end in -e take an -ar ending

3. en words with stress on the last vowel take an -er ending

4. ett words that end in a vowel take an -n ending

5. ett words that end in a consonant take no additional ending

Common gender nouns that end in a consonant are not covered by

the rules above. These words will take either an -ar ending or an
-er ending. The nouns which fall into this category will simply need
to be memorized.

Singular indefinite Plural indefinite

en flicka (a girl) flickor

en timme (an hour) timmar
en telefon (a telephone) telefoner
ett konto (an account) konton
ett hus (a house) hus
en bil (a car) bilar
Definite artides: where in English we say “the car”, the Swedes
say the equivalent of “car-the”, i.e. they tag the definite article onto
the end of the noun. In the singular, common nouns take an -en
ending, neuter nouns an -et ending. In the plural, common nouns
add an -na and neuter nouns take an -en ending, neuter nouns an
181
-et ending. In the plural, common nouns add an -na and neuter
nouns take an -en.

Singular_Plural

common gender katten the cat katterna the cats

neuter gender tåget the train tågen the trains

Pronouns
1 jag it (common/neuter) den/det
you (sing.,inf.) du we vi
he han you (pi.) ni
she bon they de
In Swedish there are two terms for “you”: du (singular/informal) and
ni (plural/informal). Both are used when talking to relatives, friends,
colleagues, children, between young people and in work situations.
The plural form., ni, is used in other, more formal situations to refer to
one or more persons. Its use has become less frequent, and is used
only in very formal contexts. Nowadays‘you will hear most people
address each other with du.

Word Order
Swedish is similar to English in terms of word order for simple
sentences: It follows the subject-verb-object pattern.

Example:

Sara läser en bok. Sara is reading a book.

When the sentence doesn’t begin with a subject, the word order
changes; the verb and the subject are inverted.
Example:

Nu läser Sara en bok. Now Sara is reading a book.

However, nu (nu) could just as well be placed at the end of the
sentence, e g. Sara läser en bok nu.
 Reference
Questions are formed by reversing the order of the subject and verb:

Du ser katten. You see the cat.

Ser du katten? Do you see the cat?

Negation
A statement can be negated by inserting the word inte after the verb:

Jag talar svenska. I speak Swedish.

Jaga talar inte svenska. I do not speak Swedish.

adjective.

Sweden officially follows the 24-hour clock. Formal
communication, such as public transporation schedules and
TV programming, follows this system. However, in ordinary
conversation, time is generally expressed as shown above,
often with the addition of på morgonen (in the morning),
på förmiddagen (mid-morning), på eftermiddagen (in the
afternoon), på kvällen (in the evening) and på natten (at

The two most important holidays in Sweden are Midsummer

and Christmas. Midsommardagen (Midsummer) is
celebrated with midsummer poles (similar to the may pole)
and traditional songs and dances. Traditional food includes
matjesill (pickled herring), fresh fish and schnapps. For
Juldagen (Christmas), special cakes and other delicious
treats are prepared, such as pepparkakor (ginger cookies),
saffranbullar (saffron buns) and julbord (Christmas
smörgåsbord, a festive buffet). Though not an official holiday,
Luciadagen (St. Lucia Day) on December 13 marks the
beginning of the Chirstmas season. Swedes also celebrate
the beginning of spring on April 30, which is known as
Valborgsmässoafton, with huge bonfires, fireworks and
singing. June 6 is Flaggans dag (Flag Day), the national day
of Sweden. Street are decorated with yellow and blue, the
colors of the Swedish flag, patriotic speeches are made and
traditional games and meals are enjoyed.
