"Jag ser skogen."

Translation: I see the forest.

[PennLesley]

In English 'wood' and 'woods' are both acceptable for a group of trees.

[eronth]

They're not really interchangeable in this case. "I see the wood." would be referring to a pile of logs or scraps of wood. "I see the woods." is how you would refer to a group of trees.

[PLLumsdaine]

No — “I see the wood” can also refer to a group of trees, for many English-speakers.

[Arnauti]

We think so too, so we accept that answer.

[SorceressQuistis]

How would you say 'I can't see the forest for the trees' in Swedish?

[Arnauti]

Jag ser inte skogen för alla träd. Various expressions with inte se skogen för alla träd are pretty widely used in Swedish too.

[SorceressQuistis]

Interesting. Thanks!

[sotnosen93]

This literally translates to "I do not see the forest for all the trees".

How do I predict the "sj" and "sk" sound that is tipically swedish? (the one in skjorta)

[20first]

As a rule of thumb, the 'Swedish' pronunciation (as in skjorta) applies for

sch, sj, skj, stj - regardless what vowel follows

sk - if followed by e, i, y, ö or ä

-sion, -tion endings

There are exceptions to these rules (e.g. handske) and some of this may also vary with dialect (at least I was told so...)

Difference betwedn forest and woods in swedish? They are different in terms of size.

[sotnosen93]

I wouldn't say there is a distinction in Swedish. Swedish doesn't really have separate words for bigger or smaller forests as far as I can think. It's just "skog" no matter the size.
