Navook Sju sjuka sjöman sköttes skyndsamt av sjutton sjutna sjuksköterskor. biggrin It's a tricky sound I've heard. But it's like an English SH pronunced with the tongue in the position of an English K sound, which makes it sound a bit like the CH in the word "loch". 1. Try find the place of your palate where you pronounce your K's. Then make a SH sound and slowly pull your tongue backwards untill you hit the K position. That should be the sound, I think. 2. The other way of achieving the proper pronunciation is to first make the H sound in "human" (not the H sound in "hard") and then pull your tongue backwards the same way. I dunno which one of these is the easiest to follow, but yeah, it's all I can come up with right now. Perhaps there are other explanations out there on the Internet that are better. A recordning of the Swedish word "sju" is to be found here. Varsågod! smile ^^ Tack så mycket! That's sure to help. I can't wait to improve~

Could someone tell me what "ooa hela natten" means? I promised my friend I'd try and find out, but no one seems to have a translation.

(The whole night) More like making noices all night you wont find it in a dictionary but that's what it means it's from a song.

One thing that bothers me very very much:
This may sound like a stupid question...the word "och". I always thought that you don't really pronounce the end "ch" part and always learned it that way. I read and hear that in a lot of places but I also see many where they do pronounce the end "ch" and they don't reduce the word to just a sort of "o" sound.
confused
What is the proper way to pronounce this? I don't want to go around sounding like some ignorant person...is there a sort of regional dialect difference here maybe?
---
I also want to make a recording of me pronouncing "sju" so some native Swedish speakers here can verify that I'm pronouncing it correctly; I think I am based on what I've heard and read but I haven't gotten feedback on myself yet. xd

Och can be pronounced as 'oh' or 'ohk' but it all depends on the person using it. I think it might be a personal preference. Either you pronounce it as "Ohk" or you pronounce it as "oh."
Now Mivi Navook made a recording a while ago demonstrating "sju"s pronunciation. I think this is also a dialect thing. It's pronounced like "Ch (Like a Scottish "CH" in the word "Loch") + yoo).

varför gör danskar alltid narr av svenar? jag såg en dansk film som hette "yes det är far" eller något sådant, och i hela filmen snackade dom om svenar.
