As someone who isn't clued up on Nordic languages and has no idea how any of this is supposed to be pronounced, my brain just went to the overtones for help

Æ = Like the A in (American) "asshole"
Å = Like the A in (British) "awful".
Ø = Like the U in (American) "Ugly".

As a Scandinavian, one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone uses Ø instead of O because they think it looks cool. Sure, whatever, but it makes reading it really insufferable. Imagine if someone typed your name as UnduBrani and expected you to pronounce it the same while not tripping over decades of reading practice.

Ø = Like the U in "Ugly".

Not like German Ö? Or French "eu" as in l'heur or l'Europe? I can't seem to find any English words with the sound I'm thinking of though. In some dialects "curry" might possibly be approximated as [körri] but that's not very helpful... (Coincidentally, Ö is also the face I made when I read this)

Your examples are more close for sure imo. The poster above must be from some other Scandinavian country than my own, bc I can't make that make sense at all.

"Øh" is actually how we spell and pronounce the Danish equivalent of "uh" or "uhm".

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

That would be Norwegian I assume. They are pronounced different in Danish.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes. From my knowledge of danish:
Æ: Not pronounced.
Ø: Similar to Norwegian.
Å: Similar to Norwegian, except you need to swallow a whole potato while saying it.
