B or P?

 


In Finland we have today more than two languagegroups. But translating between swedish and finnish is still maybe the most usual. Some typical mistakes in the beginning is to not quite register the difference in sound beetween B and P. Swedish language has many words with the letter B, but not so in finnish, so that is the reason many with finnish as first language hear a "P" instead of "B".

Birgitta for example becomes a Piritta...Birka becomes Pirkka...
