Is Finland-Swedish similar enough to Standard Swedish that two different speakers of the dialects would understand each other?

Proudly_Jewish Is Finland-Swedish similar enough to Standard Swedish that two different speakers of the dialects would understand each other? For the most part, these dialects and the dialects spoken in Sweden are mutually intelligible, and the Swedish dialects in Finland are considered varieties of Standard Swedish. A common mistake made by many Swedes is to mistake Finland Swedish for Swedish with a Finnish accent, something that can be a considerable source of frustration to most Swedish-speaking Finns

I’m surprised that I actually haven't seen this topic before! Reason for me to post here: My grandmother is from the Swedish speaking part of Finland (Österbotten area) and I have a lot of relatives living there!
I visited them a couple of years ago and of what I can recall so did I not have that many troubles understand them. At least not the younger ones...it was a little bit harder to understand my older relatives I have to admit. sweatdrop
But…I’ve never had any troubles understanding my grandma! But I think it’s because her dialect probably has blended with some northern Swedish dialect (which my grandfather speaks). But you can hear that there’s something special about her accent and…it’s so pretty! heart

Well, Finland-Swedish is grammatically pretty much the same as 'Swedish-Swedish' and I don't there are that many differences in vocabulary either. Some words are pronounced more Finnish-like, but I'm quite sure it's not that hard to understand even for the Swedes.
Of course, the Finland-Swedish you can hear in Helsinki (usually spoken by the young) might be a bit harder to understand as it's full of Finnish words. biggrin

Finland-Swedish probably have some minor grammatical differences compared to standard Swedish but I seriously doesn't notice them that much since so many Swedish dialects do have some grammatical differences compared to the standard Swedish. Like, for example, in many northern dialects you don't make any difference if the adjective is in plural or not. (Just like in English.) They say "dom är stor" (they are big) instead of "dom är stora" as it is in standard Swedish.
Oh well, back to Finland-Swedish. I don't have an troubles understanding most of the dialects but the ones around Österbotten are a little bit trickier to understand sometimes. (at least when listened to sound examples on the net as you can do here: here )
And no, I really don't know that much about Finland-Swedish (believe it or not), nor can I speak in it. I do know a couple of words though like: 'småkusin' which is 'syssling' in standard Swedish. (second cousin in English!)

Finland's Swedish is rare to hear. You can hear it in Helsinki and Western Finland, on the coast closest to Sweden. To me it sounds more pleasant to listen than "real Swedish", because real Swedish sounds, well.. Stupid. The reason we have to learn Swedish, is because Finland is a bilingual country, and Swedish is our other language, as simple as that.

Sometimes I do...
