It's
time to talk grades, but not to give grades. It's time, perhaps,
to mark it with an X as in wrong. But probably not. I've invited
you to TRY to write a sentence for me using as much Swedish as you
can. Don't worry about your grade or being wrong, because trying
is all it takes. I promise not to mark anything with an X!
To
help you out, here's a list of all the words we've studied. Of
course you could read them out of the sidebar, but then you'd miss
our bonus words, and those might be the very words you're looking
for! So without further ado:
alfabet
= alphabet
bil
= car
stuga
= cottage
stugor
= cottages
sommar
= summer
dalahäst
= traditional Swedish wooden horse, popular souvenir
hejsan
= casual hello greeting
egen
= one of my very own
docka
= doll
far
= father
pappa
= daddy
mor
= mother
mamma
= mommy
Farmor
= father's mother
Farfar
= father's father
Morfar
= mother's father
Mormor
= mother's mother
god
= good
morgon
= morning
klass
= class
gaffel
= fork
hoppa
= hop
is
= ice
jag
= I
älskar
= love
dig
= you
lagom
= just about exactly right
kaffe
kopp = coffee cup
midsommar
= summer solstice
dans
= dance
namnsdag
= name's day
ovanligt
= unusual, out of the norm
pålägg

Do
you see how much you've learned? Now grab a couple of those cool
words and write me a sentence. You may insert English words. You
will NOT have to pronounce it – it's a written activity – and it will
not be graded. This is a participation activity, and I have an
alternate activity. If you don't want to write a sentence, just tell
me which Swedish word you like the best and why. Don't stress that
either. Anyone who has visited in April is eligible for the button. Coming soon.
Don't
forget May 7th for the start of our reflections post week.
I
hope to have your participation button up sometime today, so watch
for that and grab it. Let me know if you're flying it, and I'll come
visit your blog and take a look!
Keep
on going! Only two letters left! YOU CAN DO IT!

God Morgan, Jag alskar kaffe! :)
Too early in the morgon!
Awesome theme for the A to Z Challenge! Here's my crack at it....
Ha bil? Ha somma smorgasbord!
Here goes:
God morgon, Farmor. Jag vill ha en kaffe.
Tack så mycket.
God Morgon. Igår rullade jag ned bilfönstret att släpa in den nya luften. Just stoppa vid för en tillfällig hallåhälsning.
Oh my! I didn't find your blog until late in the game and I don't feel adept enough to attempt a sentence in Swedish! But, a cool idea, I hope you get many responses!
?Two more days! What will we do then?!?!
Jag talade med min mor om hennes uttal av mamma. Hon var inte imponerad. Jag var. Jag älskar släktforskning.
Klart att jag fuskade! Jag ville berätta det här utan att någon annan vet. Det är ingen hemlighet, men hennes svar var ledsen.
Jag alskar (the) stuga (of) pappa. I am sure I messed that up, and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But it's fun nonetheless :-)
you teach us so much--i will have to try this later!!
YEA! I already did my sentence and I didn't get an X so where is my button already. LOL
Late in the day for me, too, and I really need to get back to my writing. So I will just say how much I like smörgåsbord = buffet table of goodies to make sandwiches. It is always fun to be creative with food and you sure can at a smorgasbord.
X is such a hard letter, Miss Tina! Good for you!

Kära Tina!
Bra gjort! Ett litet läxförhör skadar inte!
Jag älskar svenska språket. Enda nackdelen med svenskan är att det ett litet språk jämfört med andra. Jag önskar att fler skulle kunna svenska. Och vips, har du skrivit en hel månad om svenska språket och dess betyder för dig, och väckt intresse för vårt kära svenska språk och lärt ut många betydelsefulla svenska ord!
Jag tänker inte översätta det här. (Eller ska jag vara snäll och göra det?)
Duger mina meningar eller vill du att jag ska använda ord från listan?
Till exempel:
Jag dricker aldrig kaffe;
Jag äger ingen bil;
Jag älskade mina mor- och farföräldrar;
Det var mormor som lärde mig svenska;
Jag står i evig tacksamhetsskuld till henne.
Stora kramar,
Anna

Oh my goodness, I just found your blog today and I'm 1/4 Swedish. I would love to learn more (well, any Swedish for that matter). Love it!
Blessings to you!
W is for Wordless Weekends!
