Introduction to Swedish alphabet and pronunciation

Introduction to Swedish letters and pronunciations

Introduction: The standard word order of Swedish is a subject-verb-object structure. Sometimes the word order is changed to emphasize certain words. Now I will introduce the Swedish alphabet and pronunciation to everyone, welcome to refer to it!

The Swedish alphabet has twenty-eight or twenty-nine letters. The letters are pretty much the same as the English alphabet, with three extra letters. The letters also don't have the same pronunciation as English. There is a detailed explanation below.

Each letter is either a vowel or a consonant. Vowels have two different sounds: short and long. Vowels are composed of two groups: soft vowels and hard vowels. Both groups have grammar and pronunciation that are important. Some consonants have two different pronunciations, soft pronunciation and hard pronunciation.

A, a hard vowel letter

Short: the same as the "a" letter in Chinese Pinyin. Compare wan (wan) and wai (wai).

Length: Same as the "e" letter in Chinese er (er). Compare the "a" letter of English "hard".

B, b consonant letters

It is the same as the "b" letter in Chinese Pinyin. Compare "bei" (bei) and "bing" (bing).

C, c consonants

Soft: Same as the "S" letter.

Hard: Same as the hard "K" letter.

　D, d consonant letters

It is the same as the "d" letter in Chinese Pinyin. Comparatively (de) and understand (dong).

E, e soft vowel letters

Short: Same as the "e" pinyin letters of Chinese lei and bei. Compare the "e" letter of English "lemon".

Long: There is no such pronunciation in Chinese. Arguably the same as the short "e" letter but with a longer pronunciation. This sound may not be right, just keep it tight. The sound that appeared was more correct. It's just like the French "?" letter.

　F, f consonant letters

It is the same as the "f" letter in Chinese Pinyin. Compare fen (fen) and fan (fan).

　R, r consonants

Southerners and north-central people have two different pronunciations for the "r" letter.

South: Let the sound come from the front of the neck. The sound sounded like a tiger's. Compare the French "r" letter pronunciation. North-Central: Allows sound to originate from the front of the mouth. Curl your tongue a little. Let your tongue hit the spot a little.

S, s consonant letters

　V, v consonant letters

X, x consonants

Y, y soft vowel letters

Length: Same as the Chinese "?" letter. Compare "翷" (l?) ??and "女" (n?). The letters also sound the same as 鱼 (yu) and 雨 (yu).

Long: Same as the "o" letter in Chinese Pinyin. Compare Fo (fo) and Poe (po).

?, ? Soft vowels

Short: Same as the short "e" letter.

Long: There is no such pronunciation in Chinese. Arguably the same as the short "?" letter but with a longer pronunciation. This sound may not be right, just speak up. The sound that appeared was more correct. It's just like the French "?" letter. Also compare the 'a' letter in English "bag" and "can".

　?, ? Soft vowels

Short: Sounds the same as the "e" letter in Chinese Pinyin. Relatively cold (leng) and dreamy (meng).

Long: There are two different pronunciations. Before the "r" letter it is the same as the "e" letter in Chinese Pinyin. Compare "drink" (he) and "heat" (re). Otherwise, you might pout and say the words above.

Some vowels are soft and some are hard. Some consonants have two different pronunciations: soft and hard. If there is a soft vowel the letter closest to it must have a soft pronunciation. The pronunciation of hard is the same. For example "g?st" is pronounced the same as "yest". Because the "?" letter is soft, the "g" letter must have a soft sound. Another example is the word "gul". The "U" letter is hard so the "g" letter of this word must be hard. Most consonants have only one sound. For example, the words "h?st" and "hus" have the same "h" sound.

As for short and long vowels, this depends on the number of following consonants. If there is only one consonant after a vowel, the vowel is long, otherwise the vowel is short.

There are naturally exceptions to the above writing. Exceptions will be noted when they occur.

In addition to the pronunciation of individual letters, there are also the pronunciations of letter combinations.

tj is the same as the soft "k" letter. It is used before hard vowels. Use the "k" letter before a soft vowel.

sj is the same as the "sh" combination in Chinese Pinyin. Compare Sheng (sheng) and Shang (shang). Combinations are used before hard vowels.

SK is the same as the "sj" combination. It is used before soft vowels. Pronounce individual letters before hard vowels.

kj is the same as the "tj" combination. It is a rarely used word.

Stj, skj, ch, sch, si, ssi are all the same as the "sj" combination. They are rarely used words.

　dj, lj, hj, gj are at the beginning of the word, do not pronounce the first letter. Just the "j" letter being pronounced.

ng is the same as the "ng" combination in Chinese Pinyin. Compare red (hong) and cold (leng). Be careful not to pronounce the "g" letter.

For example, the word "m?nga" does not have the sound of the letter "g" but only the sound of the combination of "ng".
