>>71224820 Que esta mal escrito?

Danish is the hardest for Swedes and Norwegians to understand. Norwegian bokmål is easier for Danes to read but it varies from person to person whether they can understand Norwegian and/or Swedish. Norwegians understand Swedish fairly well and vice-versa.

Finnish is incomprehensible, Icelandic has some similar vocabulary but can't be understood by most Scandinavians. Icelanders learn Danish in school to communicate with Scandinavians however English is used most of the time.

That's the thing,, it wasn't. The arabic language's influence in Sweden is minuscule. The huge thing though is how much they focus on learning english. I think that's what has made most swedes so shit at speaking their language. They seem something greatly appealing abouth being anglophones for some reason.

los otros escandinavos en este hilo tienen razon en cuanto a quien puede entender a quien etc.

Pero no es como un brasileño y un argentino. En ese caso hablan portuñol (o mejor dicho, el argentino habla castellano y el brasileño portugues) y se entienden por que los idiomas son parecidos. Lo que tenés que entender es que los idiomas acá en escandinavia son más parecidos, pero a pesar de eso no lo hacemos. Casi todas personas acá hablan inglés con fluidez, así que no tiene mucho sentido hablar en danés y sueco por ejemplo, cuando podemos hacerlo en inglés más rápido y sin apuro.

Sometimes we can decipher what germans are talking about because some key words are very similar to ours. Same with dutch which is even more confusing. In spoken form they mix very swedish-sounding words with stuff that sounds german and english, fooling my brain into believing I understand it only to be completely oblivious to what the following sentence meant.

Spoken danish is a mess sounds disgusting honestly

>>71229887
to je bilo vrlo dobro! ja sam uci da govori hrvatski i srpski! hvala i zbogom!

Swedish is easy.

Danish just sounds like a severely slurred Norwegian, and is hard because of that.

Icelandic I've heard is a complete wildcard. Some are easy to understand, while others are impossible to understand.

Finnish... Nothing what so ever.

Norwegian is extremely easy both spoken and written.

Danish is easy written but harder spoken. I worked with Danes for 6 months last summer and understand Danish just as well as Norwegian though. You just have to get used to the very thick accent.

Icelandic is very hard spoken and written but to get the gist of it.

Finnish is impossible to understand besides those few swedish loanwords.

>>71229640
German is and will definitely be here in the list of educational choices starting from junior high.

You should probably say *despite of Swedish loanwords*. Loanwords are here quite heavily finnicized, plus the pronunciation.

>>71234029
>Norwegian is extremely easy both spoken and written.
Not for all swedes. I work in a call center and some swedes want us to speak english instead of Norwegian.

>>71234471
Those are probably from Cuckholm or muslimland (Skåne)

>>71234471
The further west you get in Sweden, the better we understand norwegian. Afaik, that's why the dialects in Gothenburg and Värmland sound so friendly compared to eastern ones; we have the same tendency to end our sentences on a higher rather than lower note, just like norwegians.

I can understand Norwegian well enough, both spoken and written.

Swedish is a bit eh, I actually understand it better spoken than written because I watched a decent amount of Swedish media with subs/narration as a kid while I have been exposed to very little written Swedish.

Finnish is complete gobbledygook

>>71229640

Not really.

German is the most common of the compulsory tertiary languages taken, mostly due to only larger schools even offering French/Spanish, but most people who take it still deeply neglect it's use and forget most of it.

Well, it would be nice to get rid of the Scots for sure.

>>71224391
Finnish is not related to the others.
It's closest relatives are Karelian, Veps, Izhorian, Votic, Estonian, and Livonian.
The Sami languages are a bit further removed. Comparable to the difference between Greek and Armenian. (i.e the underlying grammar is very similar, you can pick up a handful of similar words)

Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian are very similar. But it's asymmetrical. Danes understand the others a bit better than the other way around. Spoken Danish is hard to understand by others.

Icelandic is very different. Written Faroese is intelligible with Icelandic but spoken Faroese is not.

>>71242298
Finnic languages also have a lot of loanwords from Scandinavian languages.

Some of these are older loans from Proto-Germanic that are shared between all Finnic languages.

Finnish has newer Swedish loans that Estonian doesn't (our Swedish loans are old, before the 18th century).

Estonian shares some Middle Low German loans with Scandinavian languages that Finnish doesn't (e.g compare Estonian "kunst", "polt", "püss" to Danish "kunst", "bolt", "bosse")

>>71242470
"bosse" -> "bösse"

I forgot about the filter.

>>71240982

Kek, a Scotsman called James Finlayson was an elemental force regarding the economic industrialization in Finland.

The name of Finlayson still prevails with those industrial buildings, although actual factories are long gone in most of the places.

Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Finlayson_(industrialist)
