"Vi bor i dalen."

Translation: We live in the valley.

WALES

[Zmrzlina]

I'm not getting this. What?

[GeorgeFerguson93]

British humour :D

[freeboprich]

Even more hilarious is that the Swedish sentence has almost perfect Welsh intonation!

British nickname for Wales is "The Valleys"

[AlisterEP]

Just the south eastern part of Wales, where the valleys are. I live in The Valleys myself.

[Anders91]

Oh god....

[ingieggert]

Mumindalen?

[aline-de-boer]

Ooh I love that program

[Christophir]

I guessed this one correctly based on the English words "dale" and "dell".

[robertucis]

When you play it normal speed it sounds like dalen, but when you play it in slow speed mode - it becomes "galen" and it's very confusing.

[Zmrzlina]

The TTS isn't perfect. It's Dalen no matter what ("galen" means crazy or insane).

[kalashnikitty]

she's a valley girl-- "for sure, for sure!"
she's a valley girl, and there is no cure . . .

[Sean_Roy]

Like, omigod, totally.

[AdriaGarri]

Dalen är Kisen Dal? :)

[Zmrzlina]

?

[AdriaGarri]

I tried to say "The Valley is Silicon valley"?
Sorry ._.

[Zmrzlina]

Ah! That would be Kiseldalen, but it's referred to as Silicon Valley in Swedish too.

[AdriaGarri]

How come it has the definite suffix?
Okay, silly question, it just does.

[Zmrzlina]

Swedish toponyms are more often definite than English ones. I'm not sure why it'd be definite in this case, but it just feels more right to me as a native.

[RevShirls]

A valley is a glen in Scotland. Scotland's high-tech sector is often called Silicon Glen.

[yuyu2809]

Anyone else hear the TTS say a slight (Swedish) "e" between "i" and "dalen"?

[RyneSanders]

Now I want to hear a Swede speak with a vocal fry.
