        Made better when my brain tried to translate it "Do you like my new duck?"

            They're synonymous, but "gillar" is a bit more colloquial.

              Do they have the same intensity?

              Yes. They're effectively equal in everything but formalism.

                  Why "nya" and not "ny" in this instance?

                    Things after a possessor are treated as definites.

                      Thanks... I have a flow chart somewhere that details that. Time to get it back out and study it again! :-D

                        Does anyone else hear "Villar" in the slow version...?

                          It's the Swedish soft G. If you're a native English speaker like me, it can kind of sound like what we would use the letter Y for.
