"En gaffel"

Translation: A fork

[NicolaeComan]

That reminds me the German noun ''Gabel'', with the same signification.

[funtaco]

Is it just me or is the text-to-speech version pronunciation very different from the actual?

[rhblake]

Yeah, the current Duolingo version of "gaffel" is totally wrong. The ones on Forvo are perfect.

[melonhead87]

Which syllable gets stressed? In the Forvo pronunciations, the woman stresses the first syllable, while the male tends to stress more of the second. Is this more of a dialect thing?

[rhblake]

Yeah, it's dialectal. The female's pronunciation is more "standard Swedish", I'd say. The male gives the second syllable a bit more oomph (but still not as much as the first syllable).

[hoyunmyoun]

Can you be more specific? I'd like to know how many dialects are spoken.

[melonhead87]

Tack så mycket!
