The Swedish B is generally pronounced like a common B.
| bi (ett) | noun | bee | ||||
| bil (en) | noun | car | ||||
| bra | adj. | good | ||||
| båt (en) | noun | boat |
However, if the if the B is located between a short vowel and a S or T it is pronounced like a P.
| absolut | adv. | sure, of course, no doubt about it | ||||
| observera | verb | observe, watch, note, consider | ||||
| snabbt | adv. | quickly, fast |
You can keep in mind that words with abs- and obs- all get this harder B-sound a.k.a. P-sound.
