The spelling of the word "FTER" may seem odd at first glance, but it is actually a common abbreviation in the Swedish language for "efter" which means "after" in English. In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the pronunciation of "FTER" is [ɛfˈtɛr], where the first sound "ɛ" represents the "e" in "bet" and the second sound "t" is pronounced with an unreleased final consonant. Therefore, "FTER" is a shorthand way of writing "efter" that is widely used in Swedish text messages and social media posts.
