K– : köpa (to buy) – is pronounced with a soft sounding ch: “chööpa”, whereas kan (able to/can) – is pronounced with a hard k, like in the English “can”. G– : göra (to do) – is pronounced with a soft y sounding sound: “yöööra”, whereas gammal (old) – is pronounced with a hard-sounding G, a bit like in the name Gandalf. If you have any of the so-called soft vowels following either K-, G– or SK-, these consonants change to a softer sounding sound. Another example is the different pronunciation of G in the words guest and gist, where I would say guest has a hard-sounding G and gist is soft. From a Swedish language perspective, I would say that café has a hard kind of C, whereas city has a soft-sounding C. The words both begin with C, but they are pronounced differently. And which consonants will they affect? They will affect words beginning with K-, G– and SK. So, actually, it is not the vowels themselves that are pronounced in a soft or hard way, but instead they affect consonants to be pronounced in a soft or hard way. When we say that vowels are either hard or soft, what we actually mean is that different vowels will affect certain consonants before them – giving the consonants either a soft or a hard pronunciation. Categorising vowels in this way will help with the pronunciation of many words in Swedish, as it can give you clues on how to say certain words. However, there is another way of grouping the vowels, rather than just alphabetically – according to whether they are ‘soft’ or ‘hard’. As you may already know, the Swedish language has 9 vowels: A, E, I, O, U, Y (note that y is always a vowel in Swedish!), Å, Ä, and Ö. ![]()
