I was reading through some of our older posts here and realized it had been quite some time since we got down to some of the basics. The days of the week. And the months.<\/p>\n
Luckily for you, Tibor did an amazing job of explaining the Time Adverbs with certain tenses<\/a>. It\u2019s a great way of explain what you did yesterday, what you\u2019re doing today, and what you plan to do tomorrow. Of course, you might want to know exactly how to say the days of the week you plan on doing something.<\/p>\n They\u2019re pretty straightforward. In fact, you\u2019ll notice quite a few similarities between the English words and the Swedish words. So, without further ado, the days of the week:<\/p>\n m\u00e5ndag = Monday You\u2019ll notice I started with m\u00e5ndag<\/em> when listing the days of the week. I did that on purpose. When listing the days of the week in Sweden, people star with m\u00e5ndag<\/em> and work their way down to s\u00f6ndag<\/em>.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also notice within the sentence that I did not capitalize the word m\u00e5ndag<\/em>. That\u2019s because you don\u2019t capitalize days of the week or months of the year in Swedish. While this might not have any bearing on your ability to speak Swedish, it most definitely does on your ability to write in Swedish. Just something to keep in mind as you continue working on your Swedish production.<\/p>\n Now that we\u2019ve got the weeks down, let\u2019s work on the months of the year. Again, you\u2019ll notice quite a few similarities between the Swedish words for each month and the English word for each month.<\/p>\n januari = January So there you have it. One of those things that sometimes gets neglected, but is incredibly important in your everyday life.\u00a0 Plus, it\u2019s super easy. And when learning a language, it really is important to get those little victories that remind you that you did learn something and that you are making progress.\u00a0 If you find yourself struggling with your language skills, check out our post Swedish Language Learning Tips<\/a> for a few more helpful hints.\u00a0 As always, good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was reading through some of our older posts here and realized it had been quite some time since we got down to some of the basics.
