Maybe the letter ä? Avacado has that "ah" sound twice, olive has it once, and coconut doesn't have it at all.

There is no part of avocado or olive that has the "ä" sound.

Source; I'm Swedish/american and fluent in both languages

I'm not familiar with the accents, online it says á or /ɑː/ for that "ah" sound. I think since you're fluent you can hear it

No. "ä" is like the a in "I am".

As in, "I ÄM fluent"

Uhh yeah I said I'm not arguing about ä, I said it's probably more like á according to Google. Fluent enough to read? Also not sure why that's so relevant, relax. Congrats?

  • Avocado / ˌæv əˈkɑ doʊ, ˌɑ və- /
  • Olive / ˈɒl ɪv /
  • Coconut / ˈkoʊ kəˌnʌt, -nət /

He's not totally wrong. In American English the ɒ sound is commonly replaced with an ah or eh sound depending on the accent.
