thanks a lot to all the volunteers who devote their personal time to sharing their native language with complete strangers. that's truly priceless. i have some feedback on the application and several suggestions to make about the course and have been meaning to post them on the website since i finished the course months ago. i haven't done that but intend to do it as soon as possible.
Proud moment! Man, this really took me a long time. Big thanks to everybody who worked on this tree!

Thought this would be an appropriate place to say - the moderation on this course is exceptional. I would say it is the best of any of the courses I've seen, which is surprising seeing as the team at Duolingo seems to only pay attention to German, French, and Spanish nowadays. Thank you to all of the moderators, you answer all of the questions on every sentence, even the ones that don't make much sense. Your responses are always helpful and detailed. Thanks for the great course! :)
I could not agree more although I do not take any other courses on Duolingo. Patience and depth of the answers are hard to match. My big thanks as well!
Jag behöver tacka det hela duolingo laget för den här kursen. Jag har bott 22 månader i sverige och jag kan redan prata och skriva språket med bara några problemer. Båda mina SFI lärarer och mina vänner kan inte ens tro att jag här lärt mig svenska så snabbt så jag berättar för dem att det är tack vare er att jag har gjort det (faktist sitter jag och pratar med en vän på svenska medan jag skriver det hät). Såklart försäker jag att prata så mycket som jag kan på spraket till och med om är jag inte säkert om hur man säger något, dessutom har jag läst tre bocker på svenska men jag skulle aldrig har kommit hit så snabbt utan er. Ett tusen tackar!
P.S Jag hoppas att min gramatik är ok eftersom jag fick ingen hjälpa på det.
So many eloquent and heartfelt thanks but one more can't hurt. Thank you so much for such an impressive course. I don't usually like to be an "old age mentioner" (English pun) , but I never imagined that I could learn a new language when 74 years old! Thank you for the clarity, and for the humour. Lynda
Congratulations, Lynda! I am proud to say that we genuinely don't care about the age of our learners. You can never be too old, nor too young, to learn things.

Tack så mycket! I started this course a few months ago, when the children had to stay home from school because of the coronacrisis. I planned on finishing when their summer vacation started and - hurray - I succeeded! Thanks very much moderators. You must be so proud of your language, since you put so much effort in it. I live in the northern part of The Netherlands, Fryslân. The Frisian language has many similarities to the Swedish language, especially in the sound. Hope to visit your beautiful country soon!
Vad roligt! I still have to finish the other rounds though, now that Duolingo has given that option
Det är så mycket bra att se den här meningen :) Det tog mig fyra månader. Jag är så glad nu :)
Congratulations! Good job!
You may be interested in learning that Sweden, like the rest of Europe, uses day/month/year instead of month/day/year. Or, better yet: year-month-day. :)
Thank you moderators and congratulations to everyone who got to this point!
Tack så mycket! This course helped me survive in Sweden, though I was forced to leave early due to the pandemic...
Why 'congrats' is not acceptable here? Yet it was accepted in an exercise few moments ago (like: Congrats! It is a boy)
Adding one synonym in one place and then having to add it everywhere else in the tree is really cumbersome, since the software wasn't built to handle that. So contributors largely rely on the report option to have it added in multiple locations. That said, I think it's a little too colloquial to accept anywhere.
Actually it is too colloquial for me too. :) I did not mean to use it but the program prompted it and as it worked once and saves time... well why not? :) Thanks for explaining the above. Will report any further discrepancies.
Basically the entire course. If you look at the list of skills, it loosely resembles a tree structure. Each iteration of the course is called a separate tree, although Swedish only has one released iteration.
Tack så mycket! Jag vill ta tillfället att tacka dig för din hjälp och ge svar på mina frågor! Min fru ( hon är svenska) och jag använd svenka mycket mer! Problemet är att mitt ordförråd är tämligen begränsad! Tiden Kommer att fixa det. Ti ringrazio moltissimo, Carlo
I've got to say I've done a few different courses on Duolingo and this has been the most useful/entertaining one I've done. Tack så mycket!

Tack! Och tack så mycket för den här kursen! Ni rockar fett!
Det tog mig tvåhundra dagar för att göra allt. Jag känner att mitt svenska är ganska bra nu och jag ska förbättra mitt svenska varje dag. Nästa mål - Swedex B2.

Thank you ever so much for this course. Reading the comments along these months has been delightful again and again. I have really enjoyed the effort some people put in their linguistic explanations. All the cultural aspect was a definite plus. The atmosphere of this course is so cozy, welcoming, inclusive, learned and polite. An unforgettable experience. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your help. What started as a lockdown thing after my exams were cancelled has progressed into a genuine interest in the language (which is down to the kindness and patience of the moderator team) - I mean it must've done because I completed the tree in just over 300 days! I am very grateful for your help (and though I would have liked to have said this all in Swedish, I decided to prioritise a heartfelt thank you (and there's still a lot of work to do!)). Tack så mycket och hej då! :)
Today (January 2 2021) I completed the Swedish-English tree for the second time! I have been learning Swedish on Duolingo since it was in Beta 6+ years ago. I would especially like to thank the SV-EN moderators - @Anrui, @Arnauti, @devalanteriel, @Lundgren8, @SuperSvensk, @Zrmrlina (Mr. IceCream :)) and the others I can't name. Your dedication to this course is amazing! Learning Swedish on Duolingo has exposed and pulled me out of my English-centric and USA-centric view of the world and for that I am deeply grateful. Thank you to everyone - mods and fellow SV learners alike - for the thoughtful dialog in these forums. This, even more than the Duo SV lessons themselves, has enriched my learning of Swedish. I will continue to learn Swedish through other means but for now I will turn to learning Norwegian here on Duolingo! So thank you and have a safe, healthy, and happy 2021.

what about 'har cleared' as in: [with object] get past or over (something) safely or without touching it: the plane rose high enough to clear the trees | she cleared 1.50 metres in the high jump.
We don't really have that verb in Swedish, so we'd use separate descriptions for each of the above.
Thank you so much to all the developers and moderators. I have been learning Swedish for about nine months during lockdown and it has kept me sane. Thanks too for all the quick and helpful answers to any questions I've had.
Two years ago I met a Swedish family in my local park in Seoul Korea. Ivtold them I'd love to read Lisbeth Salander books in original language. I gave them my address and a few weeks later a large box arrived with the three books and several bars of chocolate. How incredible!! If that doesn't make you learn another language, nothing will. Tack mycket pa den har kurs!!

Thank you all! I finished in November 2021, and could not be more appreciative of the high quality explanations from the mod team. Currently working on level 3 for all skills, alongside svtplay.se and 8sidor.se!
Mitt andra träd är klart, grattis till mig :) Stort tack för alla moderatorer
Courses on Duolingo are often called trees, because they resemble a tree with a stem and branches when you look at the skills.

Grattis alla och tusen tack för alla moderator. Kursen var verkligen rolig och bra. Jag har lärt mig mycket och vill fortsätta i Duolingo. Hälsningar från Finland!
I, too, would like to express my heartfelt thanks, in particular to Joel (devalanteriel, a.k.a. lightning strikes again - that's how fast he responds to questions!) but also to previous MODs as well as the contributors. I love the friendly atmosphere in the SDs and how helpful everyone is trying to be.

Since I'm being congratulated on completing the Swedish tree (my first one), maybe this is the place to ask: How complete is this course? Of course there's no end of words and idioms that I have yet to learn (looking forward to that).
But have I seen all tenses and most of the important grammar and prepositions?
Tack så mycket! Btw, this course helped me get through the lockdown.
