Words in Swedish.

I would like to share some Swedish words that makes me confused at the time I started learning Swedish language. It's hard to forget things happened during first day of school. I learned from the beginning(just like grade 1) in Philippines in short from alphabet to counting numbers.

Here are some words that sounds familiar in English language but different meaning in Swedish.

• glass in English is a solid material which is typically brittle and optically transparent.
• glass in Swedish is an ice cream if we translate into English.
• if you say "uncle" it's understood that either it's your mother's brother or father or else a relative.
• in Swedish you need to specify, "morbror"if it's your mother's brother because mother in Swedish is mamma and brother in swedish is bror. You called "farbror" if he is your father's brother.
• good morning(English) - god morgon(Swedish)
• good evening (English) - god kväll(Swedish) that you pronounce the ä words as " E ". I tell you guys it's not easy for me us new beginner of the language.
• Monday (English) - in Swedish måndag that you pronounce the "å " as "O".

Have you noticed your mobile phone that have this alphabet? ä.ö.å these words are included in Swedish alphabet.
