Anyone know how to pronounce yrast in Swedish? —Keenan Pepper 19:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

[y:ɾɐst], I should imagine. I'd guess it has toneme 1, but I can't be sure. What I want to know is how to pronounce it in English. Echobeats 11:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
The SOED says [ˈɪrast]. —Keenan Pepper 14:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
the y is very hard to get right for many english speakers (for other-languagers as well), in my experience. Pronouncing it like "ee" ("bee") is a start, but it's not y. -- Sverdrup (talk) 09:04, 18 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
It's similar to German ü or French u(e), if you'd happen to know any of those languages. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 00:07, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
