For Kez' siste setning ville vi på norsk sagt:
- Jeg gleder meg veldig til å se deg - jeg kan knapt vente! evt. Jeg ser frem til å se deg - (mer formelt). Kan noe tilsvarende brukes på svensk? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Many thanks Jeff! It's quite silly because I know it should've been dina since it's
plural. I know that rule but I'm still unable to see it when I make the mistake, have to work on that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm wondering how the syntax of phrasal verbs differs in the Scandinavian languages. Danish seems to have a tendency to split the verb and the particle, Norwegian usually wants the particle to directly follow the verb.
Danish: Jeg tager øl og vin med. Norwegian: Jeg tar med øl og vin. / also possible: Jeg tar øl og vin med. Danish: Jeg tager hatten af. Norwegian: Jeg tar av (meg) hatten. / also possible: Jeg tar hatten av. (maybe different meaning here?) Obviously a split only works if the verb takes and object, not if it takes an adverbial/preposition phrase. How is the situation in Swedish? And if there are differences within one language, how do you know when to split and when not? I'm also wondering how popular the split is in Norwegian, it seems like not to split is more popular there, but my impressions might be wrong.

It's verb+particle+object (note the place of the reflexive pronoun): Jag tar med (mig) öl och vin. (option: 'Jag tar öl och vin med mig'. Omitting 'mig' sounds odd.) Jag tar av (mig) hatten. ('Jag tar hatten av mig' sounds very odd, maybe it's common use in some dialect. Adding/ignoring 'mig' doesn't help.) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I just came to think of the Christmas song "Nej, se det snöar". Note the "old" language (the occasional odd verb), and the "poetic" word order (including final particles):
"Nej se det snöar, nej se det snöar, det var väl roligt. Hurra! Nu blir det vinter, nu blir det vinter, som vi ha önskat. Hurra! Då ta vi kälkarna fram och vantarna på. Och sen i backen vi åka, hej vad det ska gå! Och fram med skidan och fram med skidan, och sen på backarna opp. Vi stå på näsan, vi stå på näsan ibland när vi gör ett hopp. men inte lipar vi, nej, det gör ingenting om man i drivan den mjuka ett tag rullar kring. Och isen ligger, och isen ligger liksom en spegel så klar, och snabbt som vinden, och snabbt som vinden på skridsko fram vi då far. Vi sätta rovor ibland och slå ytterskär. Hurra för vintern, för vintern, som äntligt är här!" "Då ta vi kälkarna fram och vantarna på." sounds like a structure a Dane could use. But remember, this is a song (and another example of why I don't think lyrics don't work that well). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think we just have to take songs for what they are: pieces of poetry set to to music that take varying amounts of artistic liberties when it comes to grammar and correctness, and pronunciation. As long as we know what we are dealing with, TL music can be a great tool. The main strength of good music is its ability to make repeated "reviews" of a piece of spoken input enjoyable. The way I see it, music can teach us: 1) vocabulary 2) the pronunciation of single sounds, and 3) some ways the rules can be bent.
