No, think "duck". That would be "dack" in Norwegian.
- atombender 8y agoWhat dialect of English do you speak? American English "duck" is IPA /dʌck/, same vowel as "us" /ʌs/, for example. The "a" sound is IPA /a/, as in "far".
- mort96 8y agoThe "u" in "duck" sounds the same as our letter "ø", and nowhere near our "a". The english "duck" would be "døck" (or "døkk", since we usually don't use "ck") in norwegian, not "dack".
- Kiro 8y agoFor "burn" it would be "børn" but the pronunciation of "u" in "duck" is different.
