ABSTRACT

Finnish is pronounced phonetically. The main stress is always on the first syllable. Each vowel in a Finnish diphthong is pronounced the same way as when it is a single vowel. The consonants p, t, k are always unaspirated.

Finnish i is like the i in “sit”

e is like the e in “set”

u is like the u in “pull”

o is like the o in “hot”

a is like the a in “father”

j is like the y in “yes”

Thus, the author's name is pronounced “Woolyocky.”
