"I am ill" is "Jag är sjuk" in Swedish. Who is ill?

I heard that sentence already in Dublin, but it was just too difficult. (having it only spoken, not written). So tack. Ich bin krank.

Well, I came across it reading a Dutch course online, and I thought it was such a bizarre sentence, I wanted to post it to see your response. Maak je gereed om de koninklijke troon te delen, mijn koningin. (Not directed at anyone here, nehehe) /Sk/ as in 'sjuk' etc is I think, like Jon says, like Spanish /j/, but not quite. Let's all have a listen to Kent's Kärleken väntar, and hear how they pronounce 'skinn'. Or we could pick another song, like VinterNoll2 (which I'm addicted to right now). |

Oh, and now I have a few more questions for you people, again stemming from conversations I have with some of you. (This time, you can blame Earnie )
Your native language: does it count as a language to you? English is a language, yes, but to me it doesn't count as one. (As a part of me, blah) And another one, based on the current topic in this thread, what problems do you have with pronunciation of other languages? Here's some problems I've heard people (such as Spaniards) coming across with English:

Skinn is a good word with the /sk/ ~ /j/ sound. The /ch/ sound in French, like in chat or chanson sound like the /sk/ in skinn.

Tack för hjälpen, svenskar. I've got another question for you guys, just as soon as you answer these first. *Hint hint* Btw, if anyone wants translation of those funny Dutch sentences, let me know. |

But in the word 'skinn', the /sk/ always sound like the /sj/ in eg 'sju'. Quote:

I can understand some of it too (partly because of my Swedish), like half of that first sentence. After that I just got lost. Gratulerar Jon! Last edited by Linaewen : 11-23-2003 at 03:26 AM. |

Ack, all that pronunciation stuff really confuses me, I have to hear things in order to pronounce them right.

I think the major difficulty in pronouncing these Swedish words lies in how you shape your mouth when you for example say Stjärna eller kärna.
Stjärna (open your mouth a little) kärna (pout your lips) Stj has the same sh-sound as skj k has the same sh-sound as tj, kj, sk and sj I hope the confusion is somewhat eased now. |
