exuse me?

There is a right way to say it and well... not many here say it right. I say it knytt, the way it is spelled. Because it is a Swedish word and that is the correct way of saying it.

Quote from: wikipedia
Knytt är en liten varelse i Mumindalen. Knytt är i allmänhet blyga, rädda och bortkomna.

Quote from: wikipedia
Vem ska trösta knyttet? är en klassisk bilderbok från 1960, skriven och illustrerad av Tove Jansson.

As I said before, knytt is not original from Nifflas games. Now I remember these books from when I was small and it is pronunced the way it is spelled. I am sure it's from here the idea of knytts in Nifflas game came from.

That is, if you read it in swedish. If you "read it in English", you will not get the correct pronunciation.

oh rly. It is a swedish word so it is pronounced swedish way. It's like saying llama in spanish with l instead of j.

In slovak language we pronounce words as we write them, so I say knit - rhymes with hit or sit

What I'm trying to say, is that a lot of people don't speak Swedish, and therefor don't know how to pronounce knytt in swedish. (simple enough)
Anyone who doesn't speak Swedish won't know what you mean when you say "its pronounced the way its spelled", because they have no idea how Swedish phonetics work.

Also, "knit" is wrong.

In addition to the Nifflas video linked above, there's also a video by Beomene (the artist who worked on Saira-related stuff), which covers the pronunciation of "knytt", "Juni", "Saira", etc.:

I spell it like Nifflas, I never thought it could be spelled 'nitt. I didn't pronounce the other words 'right'.
In Russian Saira is a kind of fish, you usually find it canned :)

Yes it is.
Quote from: Wikipedia
Knytt is pronounced /kˈnɪt/, with a hard k and a y pronounced as in the name Dylan.
Wikipedia has never failed anybody.
