I am so late but here are some lesser known Moomin characters in Finnish, Swedish and English!

Drontti Edvard - Edward – Dronten - Edward the Booble

Emma - Teaterråtta - Emma

Hosuli - Rådd-djuret/Klåttdjuret - Muddler/Fuddler

(This character has had appearances with many different names so you may remember it as one or the other)

Juksu - Joxaren - Joxter

Kaunishäntäinen orava - (ekorre) - (squirrel) (this character doesn’t appear to have a specific name in Swedish or English, but in Finnish, it is described as “beautiful-tailed”)

Louska (Kampsu) - Gafsan - Gaffsie

Muurahaiskorento (Muurahaisleijona) - Myrlejonet - Ant-lion

Nyyti - Knyttet - Toffle

(personal note on Toffle: My baby name was Nyyti so this character has always been dear to me. Now that I think of it, I look exactly like the character. How did my parents know?)

Sosuli - Sås-djuret - Fuzzy

Surku - Ynk - Sorry-oo

Okay so I’ve got a Moomin theory

Specifically about the Groke. So in the Swedish original she’s called Mårran, right? Okay, but in the Finnish version it’s Mörkö. That doesn’t mean anything in Finnish.

However

“Mörk” means “dark”and “ö” means an island in swedish. And where does Moomin befriend/talk to her?? On an island. In a storm. And she is also (in)famous for going around in the dark, right?

CAN YOU SEE WHAT I SEE??

Det finns ingen foto av pusslet idag, eftersom det är nästan samma. Men här är snön! Fotot är från min bakdörr.

There is no photo of the puzzle today, because it is almost the same. But here is the snow! The photo is from my backdoor.

Jag försöker lära svenska, jag har nonverbal autism och en språkstörning. Jag kan inte skriva långa meningar.

I make a lot of mistakes, please be kind!

Hej! Hur mår du? I'm trying to learn swedish for my partner, would you happen to have any tips? Babbel is very useful, but I loved your blog so much I scrolled all the way to the bottom last night so I wanted to ask you. Tack (so? Sa?) Tack sa mycke!

Hej, tack så jättemycket för dina snälla ord! :) I’m really glad if you liked my blog.

I’m not sure I can give much useful advice, but I’ll do my best to describe what worked for me. So, here’s how I’ve been teaching myself Swedish:

I used several grammar reference books at the same time, to get a fuller overview of the language + get to do as many exercises as possible haha. The ones I used were the Routledge essential grammar and comprehensive grammar (as well as one in my own native language but well, that probably won’t be useful to you…). They’re all available as pdfs online. I would pick a grammar topic, scan all my books and do an additional internet search if necessary to compile and condense the information in my notes, then do some exercises. Initially I tried to do one or more topics every day but then found it more productive to alternate “grammar days” with “vocabulary days”

Speaking of which, I approached vocab in a similar way in the beginning: pick a topic, like colours or numerals or body parts, make a list and cram it. For adjectives, I found it an efficient strategy to learn them in pairs of antonyms

I kept a diary in Swedish for some time, which was helpful because that way I learnt and used specific vocabulary relevant to me and my life

I started reading, watching and listening stuff in Swedish quite early on, which I highly recommend to get comfortable with the language. To translate new words, I tried to refer to a monolingual Swedish dictionary as much as possible. Note: I could post a list of particular podcasts/YouTube channels/news resources etc that I liked if you guys want me too! But obviously it largely boils down to what you’re interested in.

Related to the previous point, I follow both teachers of Swedish and Swedish natives on social media to increase immersion

Good old Duolingo was rather nice, especially early on, to get the basic vocab and some grammar down

Quizlet and thematic Tumblr vocab lists proved rather useful too, especially when I wasn’t too lazy to review them

+ Some cool resources I use for Swedish as well as other languages:

Omniglot (a great place to start with any language: basic info + resources)

Glosbe (Reverso context but make it better)

obviously, Wiktionary (useful to look up declensions)

Last but not least, I encourage my followers to add their tips too!

Jag hoppas att det hjälper dig :)

Daily Swedish Lesson #89

The local biologymuseum that I went to this weekend, had an election where you could vote for your favourite whale. So here is a small whale-inspired vocab list;

En val = a whale

En späckhuggare = a killer whale

En kaskelot = a sperm whale

En narval = a narwhal

En knölval = a humpback whale

En blåval = a blue whale

En grönlandsval = a bowhead whale

En tumlare = a porpoise

En gråval = a gray whale

En flasknosdelfin = a common bottlenose dolphine

Ogiltiga = invalid

Some vocab to understand the text;

Omröstning = vote

Matriarkat = matriarchy

Näringskedjan = the food chain

Miljögifter = environmental pollutants

Hejhej!

Kan du streama när du spelar Snusmumriken-spelet på svenska? Och pratar svenska i streamen? Det hade varit kul! :)

Jag talar inte svenska 😭😅

HOWEVER this reminded me that before the game came out I was planning on playing it in Swedish, and streaming it in the language actually sounds like a fun idea!! So I'd really like to do that at some point in the future, just have to find the time for it...

#people could laugh at me struggling to understand and pronounce it lol #i did try to start learning it a couple years back with duolingo but i unfortunately do not have the patience to learn a language 😩 #i know moomin characters' names på svenska and that's the most important thing right? right??? 😂

Idag försökte jag baka lussekatter igen, för att det är Luciadag snart. Men finns ingen saffran i degen eftersom den är för dyr här. Eller… jag ville inte kosta på den när jag inte ens vet om bullarna blir goda eller inte. Men jag tror att de smakar bra som de är. Kanske ska jag lägga till saffran en dag.

Jag är glad att vi fortfarande har snö. Temperaturen har varit farligt nära 0 grader och jag fruktar att snön kommer att smälta snart. Men det snöade idag och det känns som en riktig vinter.
