He should read ALL IKEA furniture names so I can finally pronounce them correctly lol

[csilvers]

"You have planted your last potato" is now my new favorite phrase! 😂

[linguisticsnerd]

How to reassure people in Swedish :
It's alright ❌
There's no danger on the roof ✅

[bongophone]

"you have planted your last potato" is one of the best phrases I've ever heard in my ENTIRE life. gotta start using that

[edabakb]

How can a whole family be this gorgeous and talented?

[LindsayDaly]

The background music choice is legendary lmao

[valerievedette]

I love being a swede watching a video about swedish culture.

[whatthe]

It's pretty amazing that he knows so many English expressions that he's able to perfectly describe each Swedish idiom with an English idiom equivalent. He's lovely.

You planted your last potato
So, basically 'you yeed your last haw'

[KpopKnitter]

As a teacher “you have planted your last potato” will now be a staple warning in my classroom, 😂

[Hyvitetty]

It's weird that he has to pronounce his last name wrong

[MarigoldSundays]

Me: “I went on a date last night”

Swedish person: “Was he too hot on the porridge? Did you suspect an owl in the woods? Did he plant his last potato?”

Me: 🤨

[Aj]

Man I have to use "you have planted your last potato"

[ghostgurlgamer]

Danish slang with Mads would be charming. He's such a sweet daddy dork.

[dianarighteous]

You sir... have planted your last poato

[AslanW]

His swedish now has a slight American accent lol

[potatoesrgoodu]

Who else has a crush on the entire family?

[littleminna]

As a Swede living abroad and my husband not being Swedish, I can say that my husband's favourite word is fika. By the way fika, is not just coffee or tea, it's all that high calorie cakes and cookies that goes with it.

[sofiepaulsson]

"Or SkarsGÅRD, as we say in the north!" Och så dödsallvarlig 😂

[TenTonNuke]

I like how pensive he gets at 2:30, as though he's suddenly struck by the thought that there might be owls in the woods, and it deeply worries him.
