Usage notes
The pronunciation of this word was originally with, and a long final vowel, i.e. /²samˌbuː/, which is in line with other compounds with , e.g. ,. For most speakers, the pronunciation has, however, shifted to with a short final vowel without secondary stress, i.e. /ˈsambʊ/, probably due to the influence from words like  and loanwords ending in -o, which commonly receive accent 1, e.g., , , , etc. This accent 1 pronunciation also applies to other words coined with sambo in mind, e.g. ,.

This causes uncertainty in the declension of this word. Whereas words with a long final /uː/ are regularly pluralized with, i.e. sko > skor, öbo > öbor, common gender words with a final /ʊ/ do not have a native pluralization. For this reason, many speakers colloquially treat sambo as a loanword and pluralize the word with a foreign plural marker, i.e. sambos, or with a double plural marker, i.e. sambosar.

This pronunciation and declension are usually, and dictionaries like and Svensk ordbok recommend using the accent 2 pronunciation with an -r plural in line with words like öbo, which they likewise recommend for words like särbo and mambo.
