I regret to inform you that it is not, in fact, pronounced the same as “Janet”.
But! In the spirit of reasonably close approximations, it’s pronounced kind of like if you said “Janet” but with a Y instead of a J. For extra points, double the N and replace the E sound with an A sound, so sort of like “yan-nat” (/ˈjænːæt/ if you’re a NERD)
Edit: and note that my username is Finnish, which you should never confuse with Swedish unless you want to make people very angry.
But seriously speaking, in case y’all don’t know, Finnish is a Uralic language which means it’s in a completely different language family than almost all Eurasian languages except Estonian, Sámi, Hungarian, and a smattering of more-or-less extinct languages in the Baltics and Russia. Swedish is closer to Kashmiri than Finnish.
Next you’ll tell me that your username isn’t pronounced the same as “Janet”
