What Languages is That?
My mother likes foreign mystery dramas, and she open watches these on TV.
A while ago, she was watching new drama with Japanese subtitles.
The drama was titled “Agatha Christie’s Detective Jarsen” so I thought it made in England, but the languages was not English.
“What languages is that?”
I talked to my parents.
I felt it was close to French, but it was a little different.
There is less pitch difference than in French, and I felt it was more gentle.
I don’t know French very much, but I knew a few words like that “Bonjour” “Qu’est-ce que c’est?” “Oui, monsieur.” ”Un deux trois” etc.
The drama didn’t have such words.
My father guessed it was German languages, but I thought it was mistake, because I didn’t catch any pronunciation of curled tongue.
He also guessed it was nordic language like Finnish or Norwegian.
After watching, I checked about the drama, it was Swedish after all.
It was like a language guessing quiz and it was fun.
どこの言葉？
私の母は海外ミステリーが好きでよく見ています。
この間、新しいドラマを日本語の字幕で見ていました。
「アガサ・クリスティー 名探偵ヤルセン」というタイトルだったので、イギリス制作かと思いましたが、言葉は英語ではありませんでした。
これは何語だろう？と一緒に見ていた両親と話ました。
フランス語に近いけど、少し違うように思えました。
フランス語より音の高低差が少なく、なだらかに感じました。
それにフランス語はほとんどわかりませんが、ボンジュール、ケスクセ？、アン・ドゥ・トロワ、ウィ、ムッシュー、トレビアンくらいはわかるので、そういう知ってる単語も全然出てきません。
父はドイツ語じゃないかと言いましたが、ドイツ語の巻き舌の発音は感じませんでした。
フィンランドとかノルウェーなどど北欧の言葉かな？とも言っていました。
後で調べたら、スウェーデン語でした。
言語当てクイズのようで少し楽しかったです。
メモ
制作：2021年 スウェーデン 原語：スウェーデン語 原題：Agatha Christie’s Hjerson
What Languages is That? (or Which Languages are Those?)
My mother likes foreign mystery dramashows, and she opften watches these on TV.
A while ago, she was watching new dramashow with Japanese subtitles.
"drama" has a different meaning in English. We call ドラマ "TV shows"
The dramashow was titled “Agatha Christie’s Detective Jarsen” so I thought it would have been made in England, but the languages was not English.
“What languages is that?”
I talked toasked my parents.
I felt it was close toseemed like French, but it was a little different.
There is less pitch difference than in French, and I felt it was more gentle.
I don’t know French very much, but I knew a few words like that “Bonjour” “Qu’est-ce que c’est?” “Oui, monsieur.” ”Un deux trois” etc.
The dramashow didn’t have such words.
My father guessed it was German languages, but I thought ithe was mistake,wrong because I didn’t catch anything pronounciation ofed with a curled tongue.
He also guessed it was na Nordic language like Finnish or Norwegian.
Not a language correction, but I thought you'd find it interesting know that Norwegian and Finnish belong to different language families: Norwegian is Germanic (specifically Northern Germanic aka Scandinavian), whereas Finnish is an Uralic language.
After watching, I checked about the drama,looked up the show and it was Swedish after all.
It wasfelt like a language guessing quiz and it was fun.
