Hallå där!
I'm making a vain attempt to add something to THIS thread in Culture Café.
Many, many, MANY years ago someone taught me a Swedish tongue twister, but I've forgotten it.
The person who taught it to me was born and raised in the US, but his parents were native Swedes, and he spoke Swedish to them as he was growing up.
What I remember is as follows:
1. Most, if not all of the words started with the same sound - something like "tsa" or "tsu", and I believe one of the words had the sound at the end. I'll guess it had about 15 words in it.
2. When translated to English it has something to do with "Seven thousand seven hundred seventy seven Swedish sisters (nurses) blah blah blah.
3. My bad try "Sjutusen sjuhundra sjuttio syv sjuksköterska svenska ...."
Do any of our Swedish experts know of this tongue-twister?
Tack!
