Just around about this time of year, at least in the south of Sweden, talk of spring is one of the most popular conversation topics. This blogpost will equip you with good phrases for \u201cv\u00e5rprat\u201d (spring talk).<\/p>\n

Here comes a standard phrase which you can exchange the adjective for any number of synonyms.<\/p>\n

\u201cVisst \u00e4r det _fint_<\/strong> v\u00e4der ute!\u201d (“Isn’t it nice weather outside.”)<\/p>\n

\u201cVisst har det blivit varmt p\u00e5 sistone.\u201d (“It’s been warm outside lately hasn’t it.”)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cJa, det \u00e4r det verkligen\u201d (“It sure has.”)<\/p>\n

\u201cJa, eller hur\u201d (“Yeah, it really has.”)<\/p>\n

\u201cJa, det tycker jag _med\/ocks\u00e5\/verkligen\/absolut_.\u201d (“Yeah I agree\/think so too.”)<\/p>\n

And if it should snow again after a warm spell these phrases can come in handy.<\/p>\n

\u201cS\u00e5g du att det sn\u00f6ade idag\/ig\u00e5r igen?\u201d (“Did you notice it snowed again today\/yesterday?”)<\/p>\n

Replies:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJa, jag tror knappt det \u00e4r sant!\u201d (This can be used for both good and bad things) (“Yes, I can’t believe it.”)<\/p>\n

\u201cJa, usch vad _hemskt_<\/strong>!\u201d (Yes, it’s quite awful.”)<\/p>\n

\u201cJa, _hemskt_<\/strong>\u00a0\u00e4r det!\u201d\u00a0(Yes, it’s quite awful.”)<\/p>\n

\u201cJag hoppas sn\u00f6n sm\u00e4lter bort snart igen\u201d (“I hope the snow melts again soon.”)<\/p>\n

\u201cJa, det hoppas jag ocks\u00e5\u201d \u00a0(“I hope so too.”) Do you see a pattern forming here? The conversation goes very much by safe statements about the weather and the reply usually just being a repetition of what the first person said. You can use the exakt same phrase just exchanging the verb. Eg. from tycker<\/em> to hoppas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c5h vad jag l\u00e4ngtar till v\u00e5ren\/sommaren<\/strong>\u201d (“I’m really looking forward to summer now.”) Here we are talking about a specific summer\/spring so we use a particle for that. While if you are talking about summer in general as a season then we don\u2019t use the -en <\/strong>ending as in the following example.<\/p>\n

\u201cVad _fint_<\/strong> det ska bli med v\u00e5r\/sommar.<\/strong>\u201d (“It will be so nice when summer comes.”)<\/p>\n

Hopefully these phrases will help you to at least start up a conversation in Swedish. Lycka till!<\/p>\n

Here is a short dialog which you can practice by yourself or with a partner. Believe me, pets or small children are very good audiences as well.<\/p>\n

A \u201cNejmen hejsan\u201d<\/p>\n

B \u201cHej! Hur \u00e4r l\u00e4get?\u201d<\/p>\n

A \u201cBara bra tack. Sj\u00e4lv?\u201d<\/p>\n

B \u201cMed mig \u00e4r det bara fint! Tack som fr\u00e5gar.\u201d<\/p>\n

A \u201cVisst \u00e4r det _fint_<\/strong> v\u00e4der ute!\u201d<\/p>\n

B \u201cJa, eller hur. Det \u00e4r det verkligen.\u201d<\/p>\n

A \u201cJag l\u00e4ngtar verkligen efter sommaren.\u201d<\/p>\n

B \u201cJa det g\u00f6r jag ocks\u00e5. Det ska bli s\u00e5 sk\u00f6nt med lite v\u00e4rme.\u201d<\/p>\n

A \u201cJa absolut!\u201d<\/p>\n

B \u201cVi f\u00e5r hoppas att sommaren kommer snart.\u201d<\/p>\n

B \u201cJa, tack det samma!\u201d<\/p>\n

A \u201cHejd\u00e5!\u201d<\/p>\n

B \u201cHejsvejs!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A “Why hello.”<\/p>\n

B “Hi, how are you doing?”<\/p>\n

A “Good, and you?”<\/p>\n

B “I’m fine. Thanks for asking.”<\/p>\n

A “Yes\u00a0definitively.”<\/p>\n

B “We’ll just have to hope summer is around the corner.”<\/p>\n

A “Yeah, that’s right.”<\/p>\n

A “Yeah, it’s been a while. Take care!”<\/p>\n

B “Thanks. You too!”<\/p>\n
