Doesn't "kille" mean boy also?
Yes, it's slightly more colloquial, can be a bit older, and can also mean boyfriend.
Just to be clear, though: a pojke is a male child, not a child regardless of gender.
No, there's no age difference between the words. The only difference is that pojke is an older word while kille was added to the language in the 60s.
There definitely is a difference in age. I use kille all the time for adults up to the lower middle-aged range. I would never use pojke like that.
Yeah, formal text is something else.
I won't question your own native language, but I still think kille is a lot more versatile. You might say jag känner en kille som ... in your 50s, for instance, but I doubt anyone would say pojke där. You could talk about killarna på kontoret, but pojkarna makes it sound a bit like a pilsnerfilm, and so on.
What type of accent/tone does 'pojke' has? Is it like 'en man' or like 'kvinna' ? It's hard for me to make it out.
Same pitch accent as kvinna.
It is hard trying to figure out the pronunciation of this. Is it like "Poyike" or "Poyke"
"J" in Swedish is pronounced like the Y in "yet", " yellow", etc.
There's only two syllables, so it would be closer to "poyke"
Never knew they got this from Finnish poika.
How do we pronounce this?
If your accent is Received Pronunciation then like 'aw' in 'jaw'.
When referring to an animal, like en hund, is it proper to call it en pojke or en flicka? Or do these names describe only people?
It's fine, but it depends a little on the context, just like in English.
