B Come to learn Swedish )It seems challenging,but it could be easier if you are a good English speaker.The two languages have a lot more in common than you think. The Swedish alphabet is almost the same as the English alphabet,but has three more letters:A, A and O.Although some letters,like O and O look alike,they are actually different.Take the Swedish words“lov”and“lv”as an example.The word“lov”can refer to holidays while "lov”translates to "leaves”. Many words are close in Swedish and English."Bok"in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “book";“apple'”is an easy change to“apple'”and“man”and“piano”are the same in both languages. However,,there are special suffixes,such as“-en"and“-t”,to stand for“the”in English,For example, boken'”in Swedish means“the book”in English. 3 Another similarity is the word order.It's often possible to directly translate sentences between the two languages.One big difference is that Swedish always puts the verb in the second place of a sentence.Although in English sentences,words like "always"or"hardly"often appear in the second place,Swedish is very strict about that verb-second rule and will put them after the verb. There are many reasons that make Swedish hard,but with your English learning experience, you'll find it easier. 28.Which sign below is written in Swedish?
