"Hon har en sked."

Translation: She has a spoon.

[Carnaedy]

The pronunciation of the ske-ski-sky-skä-skö sound depends heavily on the region. It can be your everyday "sh", but it may also be rendered as "hw", "h" here being the sound you make when you blow on your hands to make them warm.

There are a few more letter combinations that generate this particular sound, e.g., -tion, -sj-, -stj-, -skj-, -xj-. Pick one way of saying it and stick with it, but keep in mind that "hw" is slightly more "standard".

Learn Swedish, they said. It will be easy, they said.

[iamlinguanaut]

Except pronunciation the grammar seems a little bit easy.
But if the pronunciation is wrong all together which Swede will understand me even if I speak 100 gramatical svenska?

Pie always tastes better with "Cool Fwip". What? You mean Cool Whip. No, "Cool Fwip!" How is "Sked" pronounced like "Fwed"?

[ecarr712]

my god you cracked the code.

[Jordan.Park]

SK in sked is pronounced like a "WHU" in english
Is this right or is this just a beta issue?
<3

[El_Arbitro]

the TTS has this one right..

[Amsica]

Does anybody know of any web site where you can check your own pronunciation?

[oldestguru]

I was surprised for a second, because "skede" in Danish means "vagina"...

[BossElijah]

Haha...true!

[BossElijah]

And "skid" in Danish means "fart"

[GarethCrye]

The way it sounds on this is similar to llwy which is spoon in welsh. Helps me a little at least!

[PatrickBen16]

She's a spoon?? I've heard of people spooning but never a woman being a spoon!

[Arnauti]

If you got shown that as 'another correct answer', it's because we write all sentences with no contractions, and then Duo auto-generates contractions. Sometimes the machinery generates them where it shouldn't.

[CatMcCat]

"Cuillère" in French. Even if the spelling is quite different, the sound of the word is very similar.

[Magali478679]

That's it. I'll only eat with forks. No way i'll ever talk about turtles!

[gen.exe]

Ok i will never be able to say spoon in swedish. Nice.

[rainbowchecker]

What kind of sorcery is this?!

[oldestguru]

there is no spoon

[SamuelPrin4]

ikr.. :'D

[boktah]

:D

[Himmel.]

Sked vs Loffel??

[Stevie442918]

My Swedish teacher called it the "blowing out the candles" sound. Sometimes if I think I'm about to whistle, I make that sound. And another way I thought of was when Stewie in family guy would say "hweat thins" instead of "wheat thins." I can't think of any better way to explain it in text.

[angelo.victoria]

I heard that the number 7 (sju) is pronounced as HWUGH. Is this the same for (sked)?

[SeanMeaneyPL]

[Dyselxic]

The pronounciation of sk in this word to my ear sounds like how western americans and those alike say W with that weird h sound.

[Vera658847]

[evanmulryan]
