As a Swedish language teacher for over 20 years, I know that learning body parts in Swedish is essential for describing health issues and communicating with medical professionals during emergencies. This lesson covers the basics, including essential vocabulary and useful phrases to help you use Swedish effectively.
Basic body parts
Here are some of the most common body parts in Swedish, their pronunciation, and English translation:
Swedish | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
huvud | hoo-vood | head |
ögon | urr-gon | eyes |
öron | urr-on | ears |
näsa | nah-sa | nose |
mun | moon | mouth |
nacke | nack-eh | neck |
axlar | ax-lar | shoulders |
bröst | broust | chest |
mage | mah-geh | stomach |
rygg | rygg | back |
armar | are-mar | arms |
händer | hen-der | hands |
fingrar | fing-gar | fingers |
ben | ben | legs |
fötter | fuh-ter | feet |
tår | torr | toes |
Remember to listen to the pronunciation several times, and repeat after the speaker for better understanding and retention.
Useful phrases
When describing parts of the body or health concerns, these phrases can be helpful:
- Jag har ont i... (pronounced "yah har ont ee") - I have pain in...
- Jag känner mig sjuk. (pronounced "yah ken-ner me sjook") - I feel sick.
- Jag känner mig inte bra. (pronounced "yah ken-ner me inteh brah") - I don't feel well.
- Jag har feber. (pronounced "yah har fay-ber") - I have a fever.
- Jag hostar. (pronounced "yah hoostar") - I am coughing.
- Jag har ont i halsen. (pronounced "yah har ont ee halsen") - I have a sore throat.
- Jag har ont i magen. (pronounced "yah har ont ee mah-gen") - I have a stomach ache.
These phrases are essential for communicating your needs and symptoms to medical professionals or for seeking advice from people around you.
Plural and gender specific
In Swedish, it's important to note that body parts have a specific gender. For example, "arm" is masculine, and "hand" is feminine. It's also necessary to understand singular and plural forms.
Here are some examples:
- Hals - halsar (neck - necks)
- Öra - öron (ear - ears)
- Axels - axlar (shoulder - shoulders)
- Ben - ben (leg - legs)
- Tå - tår (toe - toes)
It may take some time to get used to, but practicing gender-specific and plural forms will help in the long run.
Recap
In this lesson, we have covered the basics of body parts in Swedish, including important vocabulary, pronunciation, and gender-specific information. Remember to use phrases to communicate health concerns accurately, and repeat the pronunciation several times for better understanding.
