    the thing this misses (understandably because even swedes don’t realize it) is the precise pitch (yup, swedish is basically a tonal language, like less complicated chinese
    i really can’t put it into words but if you listen to a swede saying it you’ll hear the sing-song-y-ness, and that the end sounds of the words are… stressed? and lengthened

    there’s also sort of a stop in blå, b’lå, i think we sort of eject the B more? at least i do
