"Hvem kjøper boken?"

Translation: Who is buying the book?

[Aleyzee]

Kj sounds like a k sound but ur tongue is touching y in the meanwhile. I noticed norsk pronounces alot of sounds by touching y and moving to a k or sh or h. So keep ur tongue around y forever.

Wow I think this is the best discription I've found lol I found someone's comment saying it was like the German "ich" and that's how I figured it out, but no one explained the shape of the sound quite so eloquently as you've done. Thank you!

Why does kjoper sound like shepred?

[Ingebj]

It does not sound like anywhere near a Norwegian sj- sound here. You have to get used to the kj-sound in Norwegian or you will struggle to speak correctly.

[jaredscottbell]

To me it sounds like "sherper" (sher, like sherbert), which makes me think of shopper in English.

[Yakuul]

Because you're unfamiliar with the sound. It's more like the 'ch' in German 'München' for reference.

[theredcebuano]

Sort of, yeah. Except it's more frontal. Like you place your tongue behind your teeth and do an "sh" sound.

[HiImASpaceRock]

Wouldnt that be more of a "th" if you place your tongue behind your teeth?

[theredcebuano]

no, that would be directly below your teeth
