How do you say "story" in your language? And maybe a bit of info how you pronounce it? : 3

I think story would probably be saga or berättelse in Swedish.A saga (saagah) is more like a fictional/fantasy ish story meanwhile a berättelse (berætellsae is probs the closest way to describe the pronounciation lol) is more of a real thing that happened, like ya know when an old person says “let me tell you a story of when I was young” kind of story.
