English translation:toy
Explanation:
It seems to be either Danish or Norwegian, meaning "toy" - I know that "legetøj" is "toy" in Danish, and the spelling of this version looks very Norwegian to me.

I forgot to add that "detta är" is indeed Swedish for "this is".

Asker: Thanks - I think you're right, the speaker in question switches from Swedish to Norwegian which is a bit confusing!

  -> Point - but since the OP says "speaker", I'm not sure if it's a spelling error from the OP's side or not. :)
