| Here you can type in swedish words to hear how to pronounce them, but the sound quality isn't so good, so it's hard to hear the sj sounds.

Time for Lanina's Grammar! 
Words in plural.
In english, a s is just added when it comes to plural.
"Pig - Pigs"
There are some words that are different, like
"Man - Men"
In swedish, it's a bit more difficult.
Most words get a r when talking about a substantive in plural.
But, most words also end in consonants, how does this work?
It goes [vowel]+r.
What vowel is usually determined by what the last letter in the word is. And some you just have to learn.
-OR
Examples: Kvinna (woman), hylla (shelf), panna (forehead)
Most words in this group ends with an A.
These words will have -or in plural.
So:
En kvinna
Flera kvinnor
En hylla
Två hyllor
Some words that end with consonants are also here, like "ros" (rose).
-AR
All words in this group are words that are "n-words", so that its "en pingvin" (a pinguin) or "en stol" (a chair) not words like "ett bord" (a table)
Example:
En fågel (a bird)
Flera fåglar (many birds)
En pojke (a boy)
Två pojkar (two boys)
There are some wierd things here too. Some words change more than just putting -ar after them. Words like "dotter" (daughter) becomes "döttrar".
-ER
Most words in this group are also "n-words". There are many words here that that end in e-[consonant] like "regel" (rule)
Before you can put -er on them, you have to take the last vowel out. So it becomes "regler" instead of "regeler" (easier to say).
Examples:
Film - Filmer (film, films)
Bok - Böcker (book, books)
Växt - Växter (plant, plants)
------
There are more groups, but I will write about them later. 
Like -R, -N and words that do not change at all.

And how are we supposed to know what n-words are? Is there any logic in that?

Is it also
en film - two filmer (a film, two films)
en Bok - two böcker (a book, two books)?
chemistry in Swedish looks much like Dutch.
Na= Natrium = Natrium
He=Helium = helium
H=väte = waterstof
Cl=Klor = chloor
Au=Guld = goud
Pb=bly = lood
Pt=platina = platina
Cu=koppar = koper
P=fosfor = fosfor
F=flour = fluor
(Sn=Tenn?) = tin
Zn=Zink = zink
C=kol = koolstof
Li=litium = litium
Ag=Silver = zilver
Owh yeha that's rigth we had Swedish lessons, not Dutch.

I don't think there is any logic. Most words a "n-words". Maybe someone else has posted something earlier in this thread?
Swedes mostly just go for what sounds good.

Well, I'm lazy today. I'm going to write about words that do not change at all in plural.
Most of these words are words for professions ending on -re
Lärare = Teacher
Slaktare = Butcher
Musiker = Musician
Then, there are just some randoms words.
Träd = Tree
Lejon = Lion
Fönster = Window
I can understand why it's hard to put a suffix on words ending on -re, but why it's "ett träd, två träd" instead of "ett träd, två trädar" is just weird.
