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

I love memes that are created for one specific purpose and can never be used again. Perfect

Rules as intended vs. Rules as written.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Hard vowels: aouå

Soft vowels: eiyäö

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

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

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Or how about, I don't know, English?

🤷‍♂️ still funny to me

[–] AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We make fun of English all the time. In both senses.

How Dickensian

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is fantastic. Amusing, cute, educational, and it’s something that mod-bots (which lack the ability to understand context) on other sites would probably report for “promoting violence.”

In other words, it’s perfect.

We should put it on the banner

[–] gigaqps@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Swedish is such a beautiful language

Help, why does this .mp4 only show up on Android, and not on iOS/Mac

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Slutstation.

Every time I reach it I'm sorely disappointed.

I hope IKEA is reading this. People want a GETKILLING stuffed goat in the soft toys dept please

I can't wait for the ensuing moral panic that will just increase sales.

Får får får? Nej, får får lamm.

Säg "springa", "bil", "snö", "penna" på engelska, snabbt, några gånger i rad

[–] Barley_Man@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Förutom på Gotland. Där får lamm lamm. Finns inga får på hela ön. Bara lamm och lammungar

[–] Ropianos@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Känner det som "Far, får får får? Nej, inte får får får, får får lamm!"

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Dude it's real wtf lmaooo (at least, google translate agrees)

[–] ab60753@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes! But its sadly not pronounced like it looks like. "Get" is more comonly (in my expeeince ) pronounced more with a soft g or j sound, and "killing" is kinda pronpunced with a "sh" sound. Think "shilling" (not exactly but closer).

It's all in the eyes. Nothing good can come from a creature with horizontal pupils.
