Try imitate Petter, Ken and the rest of those guys. Their
r:s are marvelous. "Ärrr det sant mannen? Varrrenda jävel
kommerrrr hörrrra dej!" :)
I don't expect any non-Swede to get that...
As a bonus for the non-Swedes, I can give the correct
answer to _Sagelid_ which is /sA:gEli:d/ with a grave
pitch accent, i.e. on A: and i:.
sA:geli:d
