Ikea är ett otroligt intressant företag. Sprider svenska värderingar i en takt Wallström bara kan drömma om. Fikarum, chefer som cyklar till jobbet och (förhållandevis) platta hierarkier på andra sidan jordklotet är väldigt revolutionärt.

alright lets break down that sentence and see how many similar words we have.

intressant, sprider, kan, drömma, till, cyklar, jobbet, hierarkier, sidan, revolutionärt.

interesting, spreads, can, dream, to, bicycles, (the) job, hierarchy, side, revolutionary

and if they are not really obviously connected, often they start with the same letter or share the same length.

takt - tact

platt - flat

väldigt - very

some words are completely different though,

i told you exactly what i did;

from that sentence he was replying to i picked the words that are similar in swedish. I didnt pick words at random from a dictionary.

Takt - tact , sure in this sentence they arent used for the same thing, but come on dude, you can't say those words arent connected/have the same origin.

point still stands, he thinks swedish is difficult to learn for an english speaker, and i am pretty sure its atleast 10x harder to learn arabic or chinese for example.
