"Get" is pronounced somewhat close to "yet", so it's a soft "g". And "killing" is pronounced "shilling", so a "soft" "k", as well.
and if you're in finland, killing is pronounced like chilling (finland swedish) (not 100% sure on this one though so swedish speaking finns feel free to destroy me in a debate of facts and logic if i'm wrong)
Not a finn, but can confirm.
I love memes that are created for one specific purpose and can never be used again. Perfect
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.
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
Or how about, I don't know, English?
low hanging fruit
🤷♂️ still funny to me
We make fun of English all the time. In both senses.
Yay!
