How to pronounce Æ, Ø and Å

[DomanglianEmpire]

Ah, so å is "au", Ø is "u".

[JohnAbroBoi]

Æ=eh

Ø=u

Å=o

hvorfor er eg ser på dette =/

[silverblue73]

am i the only one who thought long a and said, "taint"?

It costs 400,000 dollars to teach accent pronunciations for 12 seconds

Å is best represented as "aw", I would say, but not too long and with a bit of a long "o" feel instead. Kind of like "or" in horse but stretched to be longer and with no "r" sound, maybe with a curl to the mouth, but I think the "aw" idea helps with this.

"aw" as in "hawk" or maybe as if you are about to say "or what?" with the "orwh" merging into the one "å" sound.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've tried to clarify all of these many times in different places and these all seem spot on to me. :D

[Endelite]

German and I believe Swedish use ä instead of ae and it sound similar to the English word "Air" (with no remaining "r" sound at the end though), whereas Finnish (ä), Estonian (ä), according to you, Norwegian (æ) and probably also Danish (æ), all use ae to sound more like a simple short "a" sound, like in "Apple", "sandwich" and "cat", although often more stretched, as if pronouncing that sound to a doctor with your mouth kept open.

Ö and Ø symbols = similar to "ur" in hurt, "er" in "fern".

[xenover]

In Estonian, Ä is used instead of Æ, Ö is used instead of Ø and Å is simply O :D

I still don't get the ø, because the u in 'murderer' is different than the u in 'jump' =/

Do you have a third example of it?

Kpyto.

[theoroc]

hvorfor er jeg norsk og ser på dette?

[lorax121323]

Ø is called 'o mit umlaut' in German. Æ is called 'a mit umlaut' in German. Æ is called 'short a' in American English. Easy!

[Endelite]

@lorax121323 Why "American English"?

It's called "short a" in British English too, it's only regional accents that make them sound different, but the official recognised pronunciation is still like the As in "whack that cat".

PFFFFF ÆXE MØRDERER XD

[bjartetheraptor]

Hvorfor lo jeg så jævlig av det her?

[CreativeProfiteer98]

That's pretty clever. Good way to associate learning a language.

[MoeTheBartenderRocks]

Ahhh thank you. I had trouble with the Ø. It's kind of like the ö in Finnish! :^)

[knutroarrukkegjeitsu]

HAHAHA!!! I watched to 01:09 and started reding the comments xD Then that "song" comes up when my mom enters the room... -.-'

DAAAAADAADADAdaDADADAADAADAADA­AAAAAAAA!!!! xD

[TheHDaleLibertarian]

Thanks! I was wondering how to pronounce "ø."

[Paulocamposak]

Veldig bra

[apakas]

excellent work :)

[Starchild91]

Haha, genialt!

[ntwvideos]

Hva faen!!!!!!!!!?

[hellbrendy]

Så sant så sant. Men jeg er ikke så stiv i dansk, og for å unngå eventuelle konfrontasjoner på hvordan disse bokstavene uttales på de andre nordiske språkene valgte jeg å skrive at dette er norsk uttale. Om dansker også kan bruke denne videoen er det bare hyggelig!

[BreezyBrisbane]

this video Sucks

i didnt learn anything

[l0lidude]

Haha, Sticky bømb jømp

[SpudJunk]

Baller av stål! :)

[hellbrendy]

Javisst!

[RIFFRAFF15]

How would you pronounce Ø with Y, like in the name Øystein?

[Cromag3]

That would be something like:

"Eyy!" like in "Eyy! Stop touching my balls mate!!". But you just replace the "E" in "Eyy" with "Ø" so it would be "Øyy!"

[hellbrendy]

This is rather true.

[MurderCorn]

Takk, hjelpte meg å forklare norsk til en venn :D

[th3warr1or]

å is pronounced like taunt so au? åstralia?

[hellbrendy]

Yes, exactly :) The "au" sound in many english words makes the "å" sound.

[Endelite]

@hellbrendy In Australia, only those with the most thick (and unpleasant) accents pronounce the "Au" in Australia closely to the "or" sort of sound of å, so it's actually more like Ostralia than Åstralia.

Just a short "o" sound, not always emphasised either. U.S. Americans do I suppose try to pronounce it with more of a stretched "Aw--" sound to the au.

[senario4]

yea

[Ephajol]

isnt Æ pronounced like "I"?

[jimmarn]

nope, it's like when you say Axe, Æx

[thebathduck]

i woud say that æ prounoses like ae, if u say it really fast xD

[Lindholmer5k]

that would be only be in germanic languages i think.. hm

[thebathduck]

umh germany doesent have æ ;o

[Lindholmer5k]
