Swedish Language Tips
Swedish is a melodic language with rising and falling tones. While, The sound and length of vowels and tones help differentiate the meaning of words.
While, Swedish spelling is largely phonetic. Once you know the sound each letter represents, you can approach accurate pronunciation of new words with confidence.
There are two categories of Swedish nouns—common and neuter—that determine the form of adjectives associated with those nouns.
Learn Swedish A Lesson 3 has explained in detail about Swedish nouns and sentence structure. While, Personal Pronouns & Verb Conjugation are mentioned in Learn Swedish A Lesson 4.
Word order in Swedish is predictable, and the main verb is the second component of a sentence.
Verbs in Swedish only change for differences in tense. Therefore, You don’t have to conjugate them for different subjects.
Swedish speakers rarely use formal speech, though they do use it in some dialects.
While, Learning Swedish gives you a head start if you decide to learn Danish or Norwegian. Meanwhile, The languages are closely related and are often understood by native speakers and experienced learners.
Yes/No Questions in Swedish
Exactly as in English, there are two types of question. One type simply changes the order of verb and subject around (inversion):
Statements:
Han är svensk. (He’s a Swede.)
Han heter Kalle. (He’s called Kalle.)
Questions:
Är han svensk? (Is he a Swede?)
Heter han Kalle? (Is he called Kalle?)
These are called yes/no questions as the answer is often ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (Swedish ja/nej).

V Questions
The other type also changes the order of subject and verb, but begins with an interrogative pronoun, a v-word (most – but not all – of them begin with a v in Swedish).

Vad heter du? (What are you called?)
The sentence structure of V questions is as follows:
V-WORD – VERB – SUBJECT
Var studerar han? (Where does he study?)
The sentence structure of V questions is as follows:
V-WORD – VERB – SUBJECT
Vem är det? (Who is it?)
