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
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'

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.
Shat is this real?
