No, “lur” definitely refers to en lur (a nap). Tupplur (“rooster nap”) is a short nap which gets its name from the short naps a rooster may occasionally have during the day in between warding off competing roosters, keeping peace amongst his hens and watching out for predators.

But then I suddenly had the image of a bear washing its paws and then thought, "Maybe raccoon?" I laughed so hard when I clicked and saw I was right!

Some years ago I was driving in Norwegian countryside and I saw many adverts of "jordbær" next to the road. I immediately guessed that it means strawberries because I knew that they are jordgubbar in Swedish. In Finnish it is "mansikka" that means just a strawberry, so there is no other literal meaning like in Norwegian and Swedish.

I'm from Finland and we used to be under swedish rule (before we were under Russian rule which was before we gained independence so ages ago) and watching this video made me recognize yet another Swedish influence in Finnish language. Tupluurit comes from tupplur and means the exact same thing. We just made it plural while borrowing the word. Also the hippo, we got the same idea. Virtahepo, stream horse or a river horse.

"Lur" is also the word for when a bird rests one leg by standing on the other. Rosters have a lot of words about sleep connected to them in swedish so probably that's the reason it became tupplur. Jordgubbar comes from an old dialect and would be translated to "earth/dirt balls" in that dialect.

Actually many languages use the same logic as the Swedish word for raccoon Italian: Orsetto lavatore "little washing bear" (but you could also say "procione") French: Raton laveur "Washing rat" Japanese: Araiguma アライグマ / 洗熊　"washing bear" And the same goes for "vegetables" Italian: "verdure" comes from "verde", which means green Japanese: Aomono 青物, which literally translates as "blue things" is another word for vegetables, even though most people would probably say yasai 野菜 (In Japan blue and green used to be perceived as different hues of the same color)

Longer words you can only use more or most ahead of them. But I had never thought about this until I started teaching.

If you want to hear some Swedish you might be able to see the Netflix series Quicksand in your country as well. It’s Swedish. 👍

10:50 "fart control" sounds somewhat funny in an English sentence. Speed control. In Swedish it would be spelled fartkontroll, since "fart" actually means speed, and the English "fart" is in Swedish "fjert"

"tvättbjörn" is translated to washbear, not laundry bear, and it is actually a very common name to call racoons in a lot of languages.

Laundry och wash är båda tvätt på svenska så de va ju inte helt fel

The term tvätt being the same as laundry is moreso just regular slang for laundry rather than the literal definition.

It’s not slang since it’s the only word for laundry. It’s a word with multiple definitions. Not a difficult concept

I've been learning swedish for a while now and I never thought of the literal translation of words, such as jordgubbar meaning "earth man". That messed me up. However, they messed up (not the Swedish man, but the editors). Jordgubbar means strawberries, not a singular strawberry.

_"Fartsdump"_ or _"Fartskontroll"_ must be funny for native English speakers. Especially if they casually drive by the signs 😂 ("Speed bump and speed control (measuring)) lol

Just a minor spelling error, it’s spelled: ”Glida på en räkmacka”.

Minor or not, it's unacceptable to misspell the foreign word that has just been introduced for the first time. It may cause the viewers to remember it incorrectly. The letters "a" and "å" are pronounced in a different way.

Bruh why is he socially capable. Thank god they didnt send ur average swede cus this guy can actually talk to people

Talking about "fart control" and different meanings of words. "It's not the fart that kills, it's the smäll."

I have never heard a swedish person saying that they gonna take a "nap". 😂 And lur I think is a bit more from the word lura. (lure in english) Phones did not exist when the word came to exist 😉

There are many names for strawberries.. The wild original strawberry is a smultron. The cultivated strawberry is Jordbär or Jordgubbe.. (Earth Berry) (Same as Dutch Eerdbeer) Gubbe is a slang word for a larger berry.

It's actually aardbei in Dutch. In German it's Erdbeer. Both literally mean earth berry. Germanic languages with a word alike are: Afrikaans--Aarbei Danish--Jordbær Icelandic--Jarðarber Norwegian--Jordbær Luxembourgish--Äerdbier Frisian--Aardbei Yiddish instead looks more like the English word: סטראָבערי (stroberi)

Both smultron and jordbär means wild strawberry. Cultivated strawberries are usually called jordgubbar, but may also be referred to as stora jordbär. Gubbe originally meant something like “little lump”. I suppose cultivated strawberries have a bit more lumpiness to them than their wild counterparts.

@@robinviden9148 They are called strawberries in English. Because they used to thread the berries (Wild strawberries foraged) on straws for selling in the old markets.

It's laundry bear / wash(ing) bear in Estonian too! There's so many other similarities aswell, never knew there were so many similarities between the 2 languages!

I really wanted to see her reaction when he accidentially said "fart control". To cite the dumbest swedish-english language joke I know: "It's not the fart that kills you, it's the smäll"

He is so sweet. Love them

Speaking of strawberries, the strawberry is not, from a botanical point of view, actually a berry. Technically, it is an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each apparent "seed" on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower, with a seed inside it. 😨

just got to point out as a swedish person that oscar did a gramaric error. he said i like grönsak but since it’s plural he should have said i like grönsaker. en sak it’s a noun and grön is a adjective. if he likes one grönsak he should have said i like en grönsak :) all this doesnt matter i just wanted to prove i was swedish!
