"Det är privat."

Translation: It is private.

Incorrect pronunciation of "privat" with current TTS (Jan 25 2015), it should be like this.

Appears to be working fine now! :) (Feb 17 2015)

Don't you ever pronounce the "t" on the end of "det"?

[devalanteriel]

You can, and it varies a little by sociolect. Some people may be more inclined to pronounce it in a formal setting, or if speaking very slowly. These situations are rare, though, and in practice, the -t is almost always dropped.

[Plentbeest]

As in, Q:"Vad är din ålder?"
A:"Det är privat!" ?

[devalanteriel]

Sure, that works. :)

[James704885]

The way it sounds "DET" is pronounced like "DE" so I thought it was "They are private" not "It is private".

[devalanteriel]

det is indeed often pronounced de... but there's no risk of confusion, because de is actually pronounced dom! :)
