    Did they change the TTS voice?

      Yes, the older one mispronounced quite a few words, this one is more accurate.

        What is the difference between "Du" and "Ni"?

          Du is singular (like the Shakespearian thou), while Ni is plural (youse, y'all, you guys).

          Compare it to tu/vous in French, du/ihr in German or jij/jullie in Dutch. However, Swedish regularly doesn't express formality or politeness with Ni.

            Du/ihr in German. Since Sie is a polite form for either.
