213.114.80.39: vovels and consonants

{{Uncategorized}}


Return to ''[[Introduction to Swedish]]''.

----
The Swedish alphabet contains 28 letters:

Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Qq Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Xx Yy Zz Åå Ää Öö

'''Notes'''</br>
The last three letters, Å, Ä, and Ö, are regarded as distinct letters, separate from A and O. Whereas in English you might use the term "A - Z", in Swedish it would be "A - Ö". Unlike in English, Y is always a vowel, except in the case of some loanwords. For a time, W was part of the alphabet, treated as a variation of V, but it is no longer a part of it (it is still used however, in some loanwords).

==Special Characters==
'''On a PC:'''

Alt+0229 = å</br>
Alt+0197 = Å</br>
Alt+0228 = ä</br>

Alt+0196 = Ä</br>
Alt+0246 = ö</br>
Alt+0214 = Ö

'''On a Mac:'''

Option+a = å<br />
Option+A = Å<br />
Option+u to get ¨ then type a = ä<br />
Option+u to get ¨ then type A = Ä<br />
Option+u to get ¨ then type o = ö<br />
Option+u to get ¨ then type O = Ö<br />

==The Vovels==
Vovels are divided into hard and soft vovels:

''The hard vovels are:''
a o u å

''The soft vovels are:''
e i y ä ö

When reading new Swedish words you should pay attention to if the vovels are short or long.
Each vovel has both a long and a short phonetic variant. The basic rule is that a vovel is short if it is followed by more than one consonant.

'''Examples of words with long vovels:'''

''Tal, sko, lur, vår, stel, bil, dyr, säl, öl''

'''Examples of words with short vovels:'''

''Tall, troll, surr, sånt, tenn, svinn, pynt, fält, trött''

==The Consonats==

Most cononants can be doubled.''
k, is doubled with ck (Like in rock n' roll.
c, sounds like s when not combined with k (Like bicycle). C does not occur doubled.
z, q, and w are very uncommon letters but are used in names.
m is not doubled at end of words with some exceptions.

'''Examples of words with doubled consonants:'''
''flabb, ledd, klaff, ragg, back, pall, damm, spinn, kupp, pirr, triss, titt''

I walk = Jag går

PAST TENSE, IMPERFECT ASPEKT

I walked = Jag gick

The Swedish verb has quite a few tenses. But these are, like with English, created by the help of auxiliary verbs. (N.B. Swedish does not change the verb depending on which grammatical person acts).

INFINITIV

To walk = (Att) gå

PRESENT TENSE

I walk = Jag går

PAST TENSE, IMPERFECT ASPEKT

I walked = Jag gick

PAST TENSE, PERFECT ASPEKT

I have walked = Jag har gått

FUTURE TENSE, FUTURUM SIMPLEX

I will walk = Jag ska gå
