How is ø pronounced in English?

By David Osborn

As with so many vowels, it has slight variations of “light” quality (in Danish, søster (“sister”) is pronounced as [ø], like the “eu” in the French word bleu) and “dark” quality (in Danish, bønne (“bean”) is pronounced as [œ], like the “œu” in the French word bœuf).

Ø — minuscule: “ø“, Norwegian pronunciation: [øː], akin to /ə/ (debate) with protrusion as in /ʒ/ (vision) — is a vowel and a letter used in the Danish, Faroese and Norwegian languages. The name of this letter is the same as the sound it represents (see usage).

noun linguistics A symbol for a null form commonly used instead of ∅ : one that is never expressed in speech or writing, but that appears to play a grammatical role; for example, English may be said to have a usual plural suffix -s and a zero plural suffix -Ø for some nouns such as sheep and Portuguese .

The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents the sound is ⟨ø⟩, a lowercase letter o with a diagonal stroke through it, borrowed from Danish, Norwegian, and Faroese, which sometimes use the letter to represent the sound. The symbol is commonly referred to as “o, slash” in English.
