Similar to the English sow, then.:)

But are they pronounced similarly?

so & sow

No, the Danish, so, doesn't have the last sound, which the English equivelant, sow, has.

Actually, there are two pronunciations of the word sow in English. The female pig is pronounced /saʊ/ (this rhymes with cow). The verb sow, which means to plant seeds, is pronounced /soʊ/.

The Danish word is pronounced the same as the Spanish preposition so.

The words wrote before in the last post so and sow has the same meaning both?

Or sow is danish and so is in English.?

Yes, but you got them a bit wrong. so is the Danish word, while sow is the English word, and not the other way around.

The are both English words too :)

so - así que
sow - puerca, sembrar (con pronunciación distinta como mencionó Rusty.)
