[–] MirrorGiraffe@piefed.social 2 points 4 months ago (1 child) Sweden: the e is more akin to the sound in the word ear, but I don't really know how to phoneticize it in English properly. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago Seebra, but the "ee" is the "ee" in "eerie" or "ea" in "ear"? :) The "s"("z") is unvoiced. Also, the final "a" is quite sharper than the English one. permalink fedilink source parent
