And forgot to say that the K is sound, like in cop.. k-niiven

The "K" in Fällkniven is not silent. The name is pronounced kind of like: Fellqneeven.

Jå jå fantastik!

 

[Frankki]

Oh lord, this could go on for ages.

Maybe I should ask my Swedish speaking friends how they would pronounce it their dialect or the ones they know of.. I bet the results in närpessvenska and terjärvssvenska would be pretty interesting.

"Åå joo men häär på Kiimitoöön haar vii int sett nåån Fällkniiven ännu" might be a likely response in åbolandsskärgårdssvenska.

 

[dePaul]

Haha. Here in Gothenburg we do and pronounce things differently compared to rest of the Sweden.

All you other guys are either provincial geeks och former subjects to the Kingdom of Sweden .
