"Hans skratt är fult."

Translation: His laughter is ugly.

[Tan00]

Now that's just mean.

[TimmieNimrod]

I heard "Han skrattar fult". Would that be the same pronuncation if spoken fast, and would that be proper Swedish?

[devalanteriel]

They're certainly close! But it's not the exact same. I'm confident most natives would hear the difference virtually every single time.

[koen.dewil]

I heard exactly the same. The only difference in pronunciation seems to be the ä in är. Luckily in this sentence it does not really change the meaning of the sentence. I think it usually is clear from the context.

[Maarten823597]

That is exactly what I heard too.

[MarksAaron]

A more natural English translation would be "His laugh is ugly", rather than "laughter" (western US English speaker here)

[Rakhelii]

I much agree with MarksAaron, and think that "laugh" should be the preferred noun.

[QuintusMarius]

Han kacklar

[ChrystianThiesen]

"U" in "fult" ends with some labial sound like a little, hidden "b", right?

[devalanteriel]

Not really, but the following links does get a hint of that quality by definition, I suppose.
