Meet some unusual and sometimes unique Swedish things.
In more than one case there is good reason why they’re unique and why the Swedes are welcome to them.
The Saab Sonnett
Surströmming.
I’ve tried this. It’s beyond description.
Snus
A Traktor
The voiceless dorso-palatal velar fricative
Volvo C303
Å (yes, the Scandinavian cousins have this too)
Abba
For Sweden

Now, say:
Sju
Sjö
Fågelsjö
Växjö
And may the Lord have mercy on your soul.

My wife goes back to her snus habit when we travel to see her parents. I’m not a fan.

No. My father-in-law thought he would have a bit of fun at my expense and gave me a can of it. Told me to go outside, open it and drain it. That is was for dinner. Smelled awful. The look I gave him when I thought we were actually having it for dinner must have been priceless. Mother-in-law made sure that it stayed outside. Ended up in the forest about 1/4 mile away.

I mean, while we’re on the subject. Norway also has snus, by the way.

Yes, I was careful to say “some unique things!”
You don’t do the “sj” though?

I believe it is banned from selling in the rest of the EU though? Rather unique in such a perspective.
Oh, we do. We have both a “sj”, “skj, “sk” “kj” and “tj” as different sounds. “Drive” is “kjøre”, while “skjøre” is “fragile”.

I meant you don’t have the sound like in the southern Swedish pronunciation of “sj”, that odd sound that I hear almost as “wh”.
Surströmming is high in dioxins and would normally be banned in the EU but the producers got an exemption.
author Wolfgang Fassbender wrote that “the biggest challenge when eating surströmming is to vomit only after the first bite, as opposed to before”

Ah, I see. I’m a bit too used to Värmland-Svenska. Can’t come up with a word with that particular sound right now, but we know how to pronounce it.
I hope I never get to experience surströmming
