Long vowel vs short vowel. Changes meaning drastically in many Swedish words.
vägen long vowel http://sv.forvo.com/word/v%C3%A4gen/#sv
väggen short vowel http://sv.forvo.com/word/v%C3%A4ggen/#sv
Edit, PS, also the consonant is longer when it's doubled.

I thought I surely had heard it being said "Flickorna ritar på vägen." !!! The sentence does make sense, doesn't it?
