minus-squareXavienth@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 days agoThis makes no sense to non Swedish speakers because in English tj never makes a sh sound. So yes, k can be hard (k) or soft (sh)
minus-squareHuldra [they/them, it/its]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·6 days agoOh yeah thats good to point out lol. It’s actually one of the things that’s never quite left my accent, I chronically pronounce words starting with ch- using the sh-/tj- sound instead. Which is unfortunate given the increased frequency of the word “chat” in recent years.
