There are big dialectal differences in Swedish, but I'm not sure to have them speak this word in different ways was intentional
I know that Alexandra had to tone down her overall Stockholm dialect for this movie though
You can hear the way Erica Carlson speaks is genuine dialect from the area since she was born and raised in Trollhättan

The Swede translates:
"Ö, ö, hö-ö, hö-öns mö."

I think "hö" means actually hay, but besides this the translation should be accurate.

That was actually a good one, hadn't heard it before
And yes 'hö' means 'hay', but it's not pronounced 'ho'
In Sweden there are many jokes about Norwegians, but I can't think of any right now, I'm not into this type of 'funny stories' humour
Re 'hej' , we mostly say 'hej' when we meet someone and 'hej då' when we say goodbye, so there's no confusion
