Pronounciation

[deleted]

Natt is pronounced like not.

Vards is pronounced like guards (but, you know, with a v instead), but kinda with a Sean Connery-ish sound at the end. So, kinda like vardsh.

Gäst is pronounced kinda like yes with a t on the end. "Yest."

Erna is pretty much how it looks. The e is pronounced like the middle e in "there."

Swedish has a strange flow to it. I am not Swedish, but I lived there for a while, speak a little, and my girlfriend is Swedish. Hearing her say it, the primary emphasis seems to be on the "gäst" part. Not-vardsh-YEST-erna.
