"En flicka och en pojke"

Translation: A girl and a boy

[LivniBoy]

Is "och" sounds like "ok" or "uk"?

[Lundgren8]

It normally just sounds like o or å (short vowels) without the -ck.

[Undertakress]

so why don't u pronounce the "ch" at the end of och?

[Arnauti]

It's one of the most common words in the language so we're a bit sloppy with it. The ch has never mirrored pronunciation though, it could just as well have been written with ck from the start. Or k.

[Gordon22774]

Kinda like silent letters in the english language, simply silent

[Plantersnigel]

To say it correctly it's more like "ock" for an English speaker. But as previously mentioned it's common to shorten it to just a short o (all Swedish vowels have one short and one long sound).

[Yarielis194764]

Yah thats true

[cheyanne711694]

It does

[Livyar7]

Uk

[austin4973]

When I hear "och" it kind of makes an oi-k sound to it. Would that be proper or how is it more properly pronounced?

[Zmrzlina]

It's just a short O or short Å, the -ch /k/ is usually silent unless the word stands alone or is emphasized.

[jen861825]

Its pretty easy sooo far

[vinaywadhwa]

i hear flick-ya. Is that right? or is it flick-a?

[Plantersnigel]

It's just flick-a

[Tielbert]

The voice reads flicka as two different parts: flick+a. Are both syllables stressed?

[4oYBIxtO]

Yes but the first is more stressed

[Owen-Benjambavan]

i wrote ' a girl and a boy' and it was marked wrong. because i didn't capitalize the A. is that a swedish thing, is 'en' always capitalized even in incomplete sentences?

[4oYBIxtO]

The first letter of a sentence is always capitalized, but you probably made some other mistake if you were marked wrong.

[Owen-Benjambavan]

I know what the problem was I translated it when I was actually supposed to just repeat it or something.

[Airalynn4]

Im being onist, I just started swedish. And it almost sounds like swedish fish lol.

[Airalynn4]

You know porchãgece right? If you do, I accidentally put A on accident. Then I pushed the green button a little to early.

[Vasilis12095]

Nöånn

[Airalynn4]

I don't really get you but ok, this swedish language is not my style pls, this is not even hard dude, I have working on porchãgece for year's swedish is... idk dude.

[Bonnie128264]

A good way to remember and is that it sounds like "A girl OH and a boy" like you jusr rember something

[DemTasteyt]

Yo bro this bih tryna fuh

[FoxyFlavor]

i pressed the wrong button

[Airalynn4]

Mastakes hapen.

[Airalynn4]

My moms still asleep

[Airalynn4]

Im actually comfodint, pls my mom even has this even though she sleeps for 10 hours a day

[Airalynn4]

och means"and" and another word but I forget. I figured that och was probably going to be "a" in the first place. Im very very good at porchãgece. I now a lot of swedish and spanish because I know a lot of porchãgece. I know a lot of swedish because porchãgece is close to swedish. I know a lot of spanish because porchãgece is close to spanish a lot more than swedish. And im only 9 years old.

[My_Duoling5]
