Hahaha! Im Swedish but I once said "Pojkvän" when I was referencing male friend.. That was akward

Como en México el "compa" o el "compi" 😅😆😂 Really nice! Swedish is awesome!! 😎

Well, the last part about "kille" and "tjej" sometimes meaning "Boyfriend" and "Girlfriend" by their own. It almost only if it in a very singular form. Like "Do you have a [kille/tjej]?" They would be asking if you have boyfriend/girlfriend. Or if you refer to those words as yours. "This is my [kille/tjej]" or "He/she is my [kille/tjej]" So in a way the confusing part about that is mostly gone by the reference to it being a specific person and not just any man/woman.

You know what word I haven't heard in a while... väninna

Tack för lektionen! It's handy to know those different words so you don't mix them up and get in a funny situation 😅

"Kompis" is more like the english term for "buddy" while "vän" means "friend". This comes from a native swedish speaker.

Originally yes, but kompis is just so much more used instead of vän nowadays. Think about it.

@@sayitinswedish It depends on where you are in Sweden. Kompis/Polare are more of a slang commonly used in Sveamål and Götamål dialects. Kompis is not that commonly used among Norrländska, Sydsvenska and Östsvenska dialects. Vän on the other hand is way more general and widely used everywhere in all aspects of life.

​@@Gnybr I would definitely not bulk "kompis" and "polare" together... I agree that "polare" is more like buddy in that sense. But I still feel "kompis" has become more neutral. With that said, of course the frequency of where any word is used will vary.

Does the context for "tjej/kille" as girl/boyfriend follow English context for "girl/guy"? As in "Hon är min tjej/jag söker en kille" vs. "Titta på denna kille där" Does that make sense?

Vän is in older traditional songs used för _love_, "min vän" = "my love". (At least it's an endearment.) _Min vän, min vän, och älskogsblomma … om … jag vore vännen din_ (from "Kristallen den fina")

That explains the line in Fager som en ros: "Flickan sa till gossen, vill du bli min vän", and then they set up a bed in the middle of the dance floor (at least I always envisioned it as a dance floor).

Why is "Kille" pronounced with a k and not with a "sh"? I thought that "i" is a soft vocal, like in kyrka. Does this not apply if there is double consonants?

This is an exception to the rule. We have several words like this, but reasons vary.

Jag undervisar i svenska som andraspråk och jag skulle vilja be dig att ta med grammatiskt genus på substantiv. Om man inte har svenska som modersmål är det inte självklart att det heter en stol, men ett bord. Om man pekar på en stol och frågar ett svenskt barn vad det är svarar de inte "stol" utan "en stol". Vänligen, Ylan

Håller med dig, men i just det här fallet var alla ord för människor, vilka i de aaabsolut flesta fall är "en" (undantag ett barn). Om man som inlärare har koll på den regeln, alltså. :)

Could I also use tjej/kille for female/male friend?

No, if you refer to them as your tjej/kille, they are your partner.

Swedes tried their best to not convey anything even when they are directly talking to you 😅

Recently I had an argument with my boyfriend asking him why he always introduces me as a tjej rather than a flickvän. He tried to explain in a loving way but I was already going mad with telling him to...k off😢. But now I have understood. Thank you for teaching us the difference between......

Without puting girl or boy befor friend.. it becomes "a friend", or in swedish a "kompis" eller "polare", for mostly male/male friends! Then one get middle age.. boys is boys, so its "kompis" and then women gets väninnor,. femal friends!

first!!!
