"Get" is pronounced somewhat close to "yet", so it's a soft "g". And "killing" is pronounced "shilling", so a "soft" "k", as well.

So kind of like Giertz is somehow pronounced Yetch. I can't believe we've been making fun of French only all these years when Swedish is right there. /jk

Rules as intended vs. Rules as written.

Hard vowels: aouå

Soft vowels: eiyäö

But of course there are endless exceptions. Loan words dont give a shit about the rules.
