No, but we have pitches.

No, but it does have a beautiful alphabet.

what's tones?

Pretty rich coming from France

CATCHOM

It's when "a.", "a?" and "a!" and "a..." are different words. Complete madness tb͏h fa͏m͏

ohhhh

i get it know. i think portuguese has these things

Using intonation to actually distinguish meaning of words. Like saying the syllable "ma" one way to mean "horse", and in another intonation to mean "trouble"

No it doesn't

ã á à ä

like these?

>from fucking france, thirld-world shithole with attacks every month

kek

No. It has two pitch accents. The first being your standard "flat" accent where the first syllable is higher pitched than the second, and the other being where both the first and second syllables are stressed equally.

It is a pitch accent language, which isn't nearly as bad as tone. Japanese is another pitch accent language.

Mandatory diacritics when?

>pitch
>tone

literally no idea what these mean in the context of languages

Funfact: Swedish has 50 words for anus, but not even 1 word for nigger.

Beep beep

Very simple. English only has 1 tones (the level tone), so it is an atonal language. If a language had more than the level tone, they became a tonal language.

neger
svartskalle

48 to go

>japanese is pitch accent language
>a friend asked me about pitch accent
my dialect doesn't have pitch accent!!!!!!

That's not what it is, nigger. English uses intonation to express some information such as affirmation, interrogation, surprise, etc. Having tones is when changing the tone on a word can change its lexical meaning. So, "ma" in Chinese can be horse or mother or something else depending on the tone used.

...

I knew. My language has tones.

croatian is tonal for some ungodly reason

what about serbian?

We tonal language now.

>klop with wide o means tick
>klop with tight o means bench

Did you know Swedish has a strange sucking sound?
youtube.com/watch?v=URgdIAz4QNg

it's the same language

>wide
>tight

you mean vowel length? it's not tones
in the word Slovenija the /e/ sound is pronounced in the falling tone

hey momci u plavom

That's the tight e or whatever you want to call it.

>tight o
You mean that weird u sound that Germans consider to be the long o?

...so you mean tenseness? as in German?

tenseness =/= tones =/= length

I used the wrong word in the previous post. It should be narrow o and e, not tight.

You mean ü? No, it's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-mid_back_rounded_vowel

I don't know what tenseness means in this context.

Okay, it could be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_back_rounded_vowel. They sound the same to me.

/e/, /ɛ/
/o/, /ɔ/
These might have the change of the pitch a bit but it's not the distinction about pitch but wide or narrow.

No, I mean /u/ as in "drugi". Same with [e] than suddenly sounds more like /i/:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-mid_front_unrounded_vowel

It's not quite the same thing, since you're just changing the vowel sound there. It's kind of like how most European languages use rising tone to indicate a question, so that the following two sentences sound exactly the same but have different tones:

>you're going to the store
>you're going to the store?

Except that in tonal languages, tones change the meanings of single words (so imagine that "store" and "store?" meant completely different things).

Nice.

DESIGNATED

like others have said we have a pitch accent like japanese, also just like japanese there are some dialects (fenno-swedish in particular) that do not use pitch accents at all.
youtube.com/watch?v=lXp7_Sjgm34

same here

So the grave account is the source of the snobby sound of Swedish

Yeah, darker tones.

t. EU's mudslime HQ

you mean the singing trait of the beautiful swedish language?

ITT fucking baboons have never heard of tones and don't know what the fuck they are

I would describe swedish more like a yodel of flamboyant faggots

It's not, Croatian has pitch accent.

Don't be mad funland.

It's because the north are inspired by the finnish autism.

Just pointing out the fact

Same pitch accent but the way seems to differ from language to language
Japanese have a core where pitch changes in words
Idk in detail because my dialect doesn't have pitch accent

Fakt: Svenska är vackrare än finska

jaja kötbullarna

Homo

why do Swedes have such long faces?
Do they all have long faces?

yes, long face is germanic trait

...

This man, Nalle, is 100% Finnish. He is descended from Karelians vikings just like Rurik the founder of Russia.

Wrong, Finnish trait.

Okay so I presume that the "weird u" you mentioned is the sound made in the German word Boot (submarine). That's the narrow o in Slovene.

Is Swedish easier to learn than say French or Spanish?

i dont know but i can tell you that Swedish sounds a lot better than Spanish or French

Yea i think so too.

Yes, especially if you already know English, German, Dutch or any Nordic language.

>nordic
Germanic

Since you know english it's probably not that difficult.

Then how the hell did I end up with a short, wide face? Could it be my Finnish ancestry?

haha XD

yes, short fat faces is finnish trait

french and spanish are easier, they have the advantage of having a lot of easily available media to immerse yourself in

when i was dating a swedish guy i bought a dictionary to surprise him with a few sentences but it didn't help at all

I might as well rev up some memma and change my name to Väinö at this point.

im sorry, you are a fingoloid my friend

Thanks for the responses.

bög i kök :DDDDDDD

Wrong

see

Let's see which ones I can remember.
Rövhål, Daimkryss, Ärsle, brunhål, Oboy-ring.

Let me know if you think of any more

What is pitches? Like how 'anden' can mean both 'the spirit' and 'the duck' depending on your rythm when you say it?

Rektum, fisring, bajan.

explain
what does it mean?

That's pitch accent. Akut and grav accent in Swedish.

it's pitch like swedish

gore = up
gore = mountains
gore = they burn

depending on the pitch

>oboyring
vafan lol aldrig hört den

So Hitler was right all along and you're not Slavs?

yes, we're actually a lost ancient finnish tribe

yeah and how pica can mean pizza and pussy
>gore gore gore neg sto gore gore gore
is a legit sentence

my brother has a long face (pic related) and i have a wide face
what does it mean?

Gori na gori gori.
Up on the mountain it burns.

Gore gore gore gore
The mountains on top burn worse

English has
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

The word meaning in that is retrieved purely from context and word order though.

Swedish only has one of these that i can think of

Får får får?
Nej, får får lamm

I have a long face and my brother has a wide one. Our mother is a Finn. What does it mean?

it means you don't understand the difference between genotypes an phenotypes

There are broad and long faces too not just broad / long. Shit-tier racebiologists on here desu.

Why the long face?

so in short, i herited the wide face from my father and my brother long face from my mother?

You have to include all your grandparents polack.

why the polack though? fuck off

You said fingoloid either, so polack for you my man.

i didnt know you would take offense lol
