This is How “Agnetha“ Is Pronounced in Her Voice (ABBA in Japan)

READ: The consensus is that “Agnetha” should be pronounced “Ang-ne-ta”. As Fältskog demonstrates, she pronounces the “Agn” as “Ang” and “ne” as “k-nee” as you would with “Agneta”. The H is only added to make it look English like “Agatha”, but it is essentially “Agneta”, a well known name for a woman within the Scandinavian region. As for “Fältskog”, it’s “felt-schoo-g”. Otherwise, it might take some hefty Swedish lessons to nail the native pronunciation. On another note: If you can understand the IPA phonetic letters, here’s how it’s supposed to be pronounced that way: [aŋˈnêːta ˈfɛ̂ltskuːɡ]. And yes, that is if you were saying that name in a standard dialect e.g. Stockholm. The links are provided below the description. Happy reading! The next time you catch someone saying “A Jenetha“ or “Agonyta“, you can show this to prove them wrong. Source: “ABBA Special“ (ABBA in Japan), 16 December 1978.
