"De äter smörgåsar."

Translation: They are eating sandwiches.

[rootol]

Why do I hear: " SHmorgosar"?

[EmilNordin3]

The most people who speak swedish are saying "macka" not smörgås. But Smörgås is more funny.

[JimKellyNz1]

Jag ar inte svenska, but from what I've learnt, the 'S' in 'smörgåsar' is pronounced somewhat as 'sH' since it is preceded by the letter 'r' (in äter). Similarly, in a sentence like 'Jag talar svenska', the 's' in 'svenska' would be pronounced as 'sH' because it is preceded by a letter 'r' from 'talar'.

Is "de" relly pronounced as "dom"? I think I read here that it actually isn't. How is it pronounced?

[berkeson]

I am no swede but on the contrary I read the opposite. It is dom.

[JoseeV64]

It is pronounced as "dom" but written as "de".

Where does smörgås fall in the tips to this lesson, please?

[DustinStevison]

This is driving me crazy, i cant remember the plurals

[annorance]

from what i got, plurals tend to add letter r (for instance: tallrik —> tallrikar, flicka —> flickor) except for some other like äpple —> äpplen. cmiiw

I'm having difficulties in pronunciation with the word "smörgåsar". According to the audio, it looks like to me that this word has 3 stressed syllables... is it so?

[Seeheer]

In Yorkshire we say SARNIES

[Zmbac]

why do they always eat sandwiches??

[biniamhabt]

its okay

[NiklasWink2]

Why does she pronounce the first s in smörgåsar as "sh" while reading the whole sentence? If you hover on it, she pronounces it as "s"

[Fresh99012]

If it's not a TTS error I suspect it's because of the "äter" behind it or rather the r, as you know from ursäkta, "rs" is for some reason pronounced as sh (or rsh I'm not entirely sure)

[BarbaraShi16]

Spelling error!!!!

[AlfonsoV16]

Typo: on the listening exercise, the pronoun "de" appears with lowercase (instead of "De"), which has not been the case in any other exercise
