Yes, but using "karl" is a bit more rough if you will. It would actually be used as a bit of a more masculine form of "man". You would say something like "Han är en riktig karl" and it would be a bit like "he is a real man's man". Some might even say it's a little bit primitive, it is not something you would expect to hear from everyday people, especially the younger generation.
Yeah it makes sense. Like we say "He is my man" means he is my husband. Thank you.
Kinda like German "ein Mann", and french "un homme", both translating to either "man" or "husband"
I just wonder why there aren't tips popping up in Swedish like there is in German? It made a huge difference for me,i just flied right through German,even though Swedish seems much easier for me.
What would be most helpful is a little help with -en and -ett words and possibly explanation of how to pronounce Swedish vowels mainly,because when you get a task to write what is said it's often troublesome.
And then there's k turning into sh sound which i still don't understand how it works,g sometimes being pronounced like j,and y can be an u or i,i have no idea. -Kyrkan is read like shurkan,i don't understand why -Genom is read like jenom,so when do i say g and when do i say j ? I'm probably forgetting something but these are concers enough
I think those tips are only in the so called in-house courses – the first courses that were made by Duo staff. The courses that are built by volunteers like ours don't have the tools to create those tips, unfortunately.
It's the impersonal pronoun used in sentences like Man har alltid ett val ->'One always has a choice' or 'You always have a choice'.

What helped me was this:

They explain how it's used in different ways
Man in Norwegian is only ever the genderless, non-specific 'you'. Mann in Norwegian is the indefinite version of 'man', as in en mann. Mannen is the definite form, the man.
Man just means "man" and Mannen means "the man". The "-en" at the end means "the".
I'm learning Swedish because of Joel Berghult from the YouTube channel Roomieofficial. XD

Because this sentence is cut off from "en man", you can still slightly hear the "en" which makes you want to type it in.
I reported it as "does not sound right" in hopes that they will make a unique recording. If everyone reports it, it increases the chances.
