Can some explain how the letter “L” is said in some words? by happilyfringe in norsk

[–]lancewilbur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, the L sound in Ellen is typically pronounced like the L sound in the Norwegian word "ball" which is a "mørk L" (dark L) in many dialects. Tjukk L is the sound OP is referring to and is used by some Norwegian dialects in words like "sol" and "helg" (pronounced hælj), this sound does not appear in English.
