As a Swedish language teacher with 20 years of experience, I have guided numerous students through the basics of Swedish. In this lesson, we will focus on the numbers 0-20 in Swedish, including their pronunciation.
Consider exploring these related pages after completing this lesson: Fruits & Parts of the Body.
Numbers 0-10
Let's start with the basic numbers from 0 to 10 in Swedish:
Swedish | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
noll | [nɔl] | zero |
ett | [ɛt] | one |
två | [tvo:] | two |
tre | [trɛ] | three |
fyra | [fy:ra] | four |
fem | [fɛm] | five |
sex | [sɛks] | six |
sju | [ɧʉ:] or [ɕʉ:] | seven |
åtta | [ɔtːa] | eight |
nio | [ni:o] | nine |
tio | [tɪo:] | ten |
Note that the Swedish pronunciation can be tricky, especially for non-native speakers. It's important to focus on the correct vowel and consonant sounds for each word.
To remember these numbers, try to associate them with something in your life that is related to the number. For example, "två" can be associated with "two eyes" or "två hundar" (two dogs).
Numbers 11-20
Now let's move on to numbers from 11 to 20, which follow a different pattern than the numbers 1-10 in Swedish:
Swedish | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
elva | [ɛlːva] | eleven |
tolv | [tɔlv] | twelve |
tretton | [trɛtɔn] | thirteen |
fjorton | [fjɔrtɔn] | fourteen |
femton | [fɛmtɔn] | fifteen |
sexton | [sɛxtɔn] | sixteen |
sjutton | [ɧʉtːɔn] or [ɕʉtːɔn] | seventeen |
arton | [ɑrtːɔn] | eighteen |
nitton | [ni:tɔn] | nineteen |
tjugo | [ˈtjʉːgʊ] | twenty |
Note that "tjugo" means "twenty," and it's the only two-digit number that is not constructed from a combination of smaller numbers.
To remember these numbers, try to associate them with something familiar. For example, "femton" can be associated with "five fingers on one hand and five fingers on the other hand."
Practice Exercise
Now that we have covered the numbers 0-20 in Swedish, it's time to practice. Here are some exercises you can do to reinforce what you have learned:
- Write down the numbers from 0-20 in Swedish.
- Practice saying the numbers in Swedish, focusing on correct pronunciation.
- Memorize the numbers by associating them with something familiar to you.
By following these exercises, you will have a better understanding of Swedish numbers and be able to use them in everyday conversations.
