minus-squaretuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoWait, the “o” in “holiday”, “lovely” sound different, so which is it?
minus-squaredb2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·2 months agoDo they sound different in a Swedish accent?
minus-squaretuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoNo idea, but I’d expect the same letter to have the same pronunciation. On the flip side, you just proved that it’s not always the case haha
minus-squareGojuRyu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoNeither actually. It sounds more like the e in permit or term, the u in uuh also gets close. They are not the most common sounds of the letter but I struggle to find analogous in English for the more common sound.
