Walter is also part of this group of rising English-friendly names, but it’s been popular before and came to Sweden through Germany back then. Personally, I consider Henry’s parents to be language traitors who should have picked the classic Scandinavian name Henrik instead of this horrible Anglophone alternative, but everyone is free to name their kids as they please even though some people clearly chose wrong! The biggest difference is the trilling 'r’ that you should be able to hear if you listen carefully. Since Henry is part of the group of names that are popular because they work in English, this should also pose zero problems for people to pronounce. Note that the pronunciation follows the same rules as for Wille and Simme, the stress and the tone and the vowels are 100% identical, it’s only the consonants that change: /ˈnis:e/, /ˈvil:e/, /ˈsim:e/. The nickname for Kristian is Krille, and the nickname for Nils is Nisse, that’s the way it is. Why is it “Nisse” and not “Nille”? I don’t know, I don’t make the rules. And new names like William, Alice, Noah or Wilma, that were completely unheard of when I was a kid, are now the height of fashion.Īlmost no-one references Nils by his name, but instead choosing his nickname, Nisse. They’re not just temporarily unpopular, they’re completely erased, no kids have gotten these names in decades. Names go in cycles, but some classic Swedish names like Håkan, Åsa, Göran, or Gunilla are now out of fashion. Vincent belongs to a group of names that have risen in popularity in Sweden since a couple of decades back, and that is names that are English, or work well in English. The vowels are slightly different, but that’s just the standard “Swedification” of the name. It’s spelled with a ‘v’ in both languages, so no-one is confused about the initial consonant. This should pose no problems for English speakers since it’s so close. We’re down to minor characters, so these videos are pretty short since their names are rarely said out loud. So when you do assignments and test and exams do you use pens then or still no? And in university do you also write with pencils? Sorry if this is a stupid little question but I am just very intrigued :) Also thank you so much for your posts, when I watch Young Royals with my mom now I keep pausing the show and telling her little facts and explaining how the translations isn`t completely accurate and what they actually said I was so surprised because in my country we use pencils only in first grade when we learn to write and then I think latest in the second grade we start using pens and pencils are only used when you need to draw a triangle or a graph or something in math and never for writing. But today I was reading a book about a foreigner living in Sweden and they said that kids only use pencils at school and no pens. ![]() When Wille asks Simon for a pencil I thought it a bit weird that he is asking for a pencil and not a pen but I didnt think about it much. A question about the usage of pencils in Sweden. ![]()
