...so apparently the sharks are pronounced like "Blow-High". I've always pronounced them like "Blah-Hajj", from how they are spelled lmao (lemmygrad.ml)

I figured the j is y

(Eg. From Yohannes to John)

So I say Bla-hai

But I never knew it was pronounced more like 'blow-high' due to a with o pronounced like an 'o'

used to talk with a trans girl from southeast asia. that's how she pronounced it on VC.

but it seems like that was the correct pronounciation (or at least, close enough), from the responses i'm getting on this thread from people with knowledge over swedish language

due to a with o pronounced like an ‘o’

~~why even have å then~~

~~unless the actual "o" is pronounced differently too in swedish~~

Oh it's all different, wait until you hear about how a k can both be a normal k or a soft "tj" sound.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This makes no sense to non Swedish speakers because in English tj never makes a sh sound. So yes, k can be hard (k) or soft (sh)

Oh yeah thats good to point out lol.

It's actually one of the things that's never quite left my accent, I chronically pronounce words starting with ch- using the sh-/tj- sound instead.

Which is unfortunate given the increased frequency of the word "chat" in recent years.
