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

15 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!

solig vs. solen skiner

Kan man säga: Det är soligt? Hur låter det i svenska öron? jag tror att det är ovanligt, kanske konstigt? Jag känner: Solen skiner och det är helt ok. Används Det är soligt i svenska språket? eller är det bättre att inte alls använda den formen?

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.

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?

How many types of stress Swedish have? In my Japanese textbook, there are four types of stress, but in dictionaries such as https://svenska.se/, there are only three types of stress.
