I moved to my family for the Holidays, therefore I wasn't be able to study much
Swedish, but I still managed to get to Assimil's lesson 33 and it's getting harder and
harder to memorise new words. Some words are pretty close to the German ones, like
Gurke/gurka, Tomate/tomat and so on, so that helps. But for other words it's quite
tough, especially because I have to remember the tone and the lenght of vowels.


My worst word was "sjuksköterska".
After a few pronunciation lessons, where we learnt the pronunciation of sju and sk by the following tongue twister:"Sju sjösjukliga sjömän sköttes av sjutton sköna sjuksköterskor."
I was able to remember the word.

Yeah, that's definitely a tough one!

Speaking of tongue twisters, I was tought the difference between y, u, and ö with this
tongue twister:

flyg, fluga flugan, flyg!
Och den fluga fluga flögt.
(Fly, ugly fly, fly!
And the ugly fly flew.)

Aaaaah, pure poetry.

Actually it's:
Flyg fula fluga, flyg
Och den fula flugan flög.

Grammar notes:
Flyg - imperative of flyga, to fly
fula - inflected adjective form of ful, ugly
fluga - the dictionary form, fly
flyg - imperative, added for reperition

och - and
den fula - the ugly
flugan - definite form of fluga, the fly
flög - past tense of flyga, flew

Tack, jeff.
I have a question,though. Why is the adjective
"fula"? Shouldn't that form be used for plural
nouns only?

It's also be used in front of define nouns.

den fula flugan

Flugan is the define noun, so you need "fula" and "den".

Another example:
en stor stol (a large chair)
den stora stolen (the large chair)

ett stort hus (a large house)
det stora huset (the large house)

stora hus (large houses)
de stora husen (the large houses)
