Shark is hai in German and haj (pronounced hai) in Swedish. blåhaj means blue shark.
The thing that my girlfriend struggled with when she moved to sweden was our swedish letter "y". She can do it now, but it still doesn't come naturally, she has to consciously move the right muscles to pronounce it.
honestly i'd more say it's like the english E, just sliiiightly different.
swedish I and Y are basically identical
I wouldn't say identical. If you pronounce the name "My" it sounds different if you're actully saying "Mi"? Or "Fyra" vs "Fira", "By" vs "Bi" etc.
i said basically identical, that's a qualifier to specify that it's not actually identical, just really really close with a minor difference.
it's the kind of thing where it's so close that you can alter what you hear by just showing someone saying the other word while playing the same audio.
