    the ö’s make this even more amusing, as i can’t be sure it was an accidental dick-up instead of a nordic memelord giggling themself to sleep.

      The long o (oe or ö) is a sound present in north European languages, and also in many Asian languages, including Japanese.

        am Finnish, so i responded as such. for Japanese, however, you’d use ō instead. that is not an ö. ou is also acceptable.

        Long o in Finnish is oo, ö is pronounced different and could also be pronounced as long öö.

          Long o in Finnish is oo

          That is logical and sensible. Unfortunately, oo in English is a long u, so long o has to be approximated as oe.
