I recently discover a swedish song that uses a lot of "utan". I recommend to search for a translation, the lyrics are interesting. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiVSetjAx30

If you have any swedish song to recomend, post it here. I'll make a post in Discussion any day.

What a madlad

Having lived in Sweden for 3 years now, I can safely say a smörgås and a sandwich are 2 very different things.

Is there a rule how to pronounce the letter U? In utan it sounds like the German ü (I don't know any other way to describe it) and in some other words it just sounds like the German u (close to oo in foot).

[SheilaMorris]

It depends on the number of following consonants. In "utan" it's the long "u" sound, but in "under" it's the short sound.
