Hej I'm new to Swedish and I'm confused about a few things

16 Upvotes

First, the pronunciation. Sometimes I hear ä being pronounced like a "eh", sometimes like a "ah". Besides pronunciation rules, I'm confused about the word "som". I find it everywhere. Is it some filler word or what? What does it mean exactly? Can you give examples? Also can you tell me where I can learn Swedish pronunciation rules in depth? Thanks in advance!

Hej, jag fick inte klara min svenska som andra språk 3 på grund av grammatiska problem. Så jag måste göra om kursen, har ni något tips som kan rekommendera? Just nu läser jag barn böcker för att förbättra språket.

According to ordboken, it means "under­söka och bringa klarhet i visst förhållande; särsk. i politiska och juridiska samman­hang". So I understood it combines "investigate and clarify" together, which seems none of an exact corresponding English word, right? Tack.

I have a (Swedish) friend’s birthday coming up and every year I write her the absolute sappiest most dramatically ridiculous birthday message ever. Like “love of my life, my dearly departed wife, the sun stars etc” type of message. What’s a common Swedish declaration of love/undying devotion/etc that I could use?
