Pronunciation of the letter "u"

     Pronunciation of the letter"u"

  Here are some common pronunciation  patterns  for the letter u in English words, along with examples in transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA):   Short and Long Vowel Sounds:   Short /ʌ/: u can represent a short vowel sound, as in bus /bʌs/, cup"/kʌp/, and luck /lʌk/.   Long /juː/: u followed by a silent e represents a long vowel sound, as in cube /kjuːb/, tube /tjuːb/, and cute /kjuːt/.     qu Digraph:   /kw/: The combination qu represents the sound /kw/, as in queen /kwiːn/, quick /kwɪk/, and quiet /kwaɪət/.     u as a Consonant Sound: /j/: In some words, u represents a consonant sound, as in unique /juːˈniːk/, where it sounds like yoo.     ou and ow Diphthongs: /aʊ/: The combination ou creates a diphthong sound /aʊ/, as in house /haʊs/, out /aʊt/, and cloud /klaʊd/.   /aʊ/: Similarly, the combination ow also creates a diphthong sound /aʊ/, as in cow /kaʊ/, now /naʊ/, and flower /ˈflaʊər/.     Silent u: Silent: In some words, u is not pronounced, but it affects the preceding vowel. For example: guilt /ɡɪlt/ and guise /ɡaɪz/ have a silent u but influence the sound of the preceding vowel.     ue at the End of Words: /uː/: The combination ue at the end of a word often represents the sound /uː/, as in blue /bluː/, true /truː/.     ui in Words: /uː/ or /juː/: The combination ui often represents the sounds /uː/ or /juː/, as in fruit /fruːt/, juice /dʒuːs/, and rescue /ˈreskjuː/.   . Here are some exercises along with answers and transcriptions to practice the pronunciation patterns for the letter u:   Exercise 1: Short and Long Vowel Sounds: Write the correct spelling of the word based on the given transcription and meaning:   /bʌs/ - (a vehicle for transporting people) Answer: bus   /kʌp/ - (a container for holding liquids) Answer: cup   /juːnɪk/ - (one of a kind; not like anything else) Answer: unique       Exercise 2: qu Digraph: Fill in the blanks with the correct words.   A fast and agile feline is a quick ____.

I had a dream about a system where question marks were obsolete. I don't remember exclamation marks being addressed.

My writing is always messy while my drawings are always neat. I don't know why that is.

C 語言裡面的 ??! 符號

在 Hacker News Daily 上看到這個奇怪的知識：「What does the ??!??! operator do in C? (stackoverflow.com)」，原文在 Stack Overflow 上：「What does the ??!??! operator do in C?」。 這是 trigraph，在 C89 就有了，在 Rationale for International Standard—Programming Languages—C 這邊的 5.2.1.1 就有提到這段歷史原因： Trigraph sequences were introduced in C89 as alternate spellings of some characters to allow the implementation of C in character sets…

#warhammer 40k #wh40k #necrons #illuminor szeras #necron #shitpost #german speakers i am so sorry you had to read that with your eyes 😂 i also speak german i do know eszetts can't start words #originally this was just for fun but it seems there are quite a lot of ways wh40k fans pronounce this #native english speaking fans usually seem to stick to 's' #whereas in languages that actually use this digraph it would be s/ʂ/ʃ #but in korean translations 'sz' defaults to 'z' so it's definitely 'zeras (제라스)' and 'zarekh (자렉)' #and sometimes the 's' and 'z' are both present and pronounced like in japanese ('s-za-rekh';スザーレク) #(i personally use ʃ because it seems the logical compromise) #in lore terms i think all or most of those pronunciations were used among the necrontyr and there is not one 'canon' version #variety is the spice of life it's fine they're all good. well maybe not the last one but still 😂 #according to TDK the necrontyr didn't have a united language until szarekh came along so they must've had different dialects #i reckon that's why the silent king made his universal language. so people could pronounce his name how HE specifically wanted it #it's all becoming so clear now!!!! 😬

Tunorr su nī sho thol’onzhul. (Look me in the eye.)

(Toonorr soo neye shah thahl-onzh-ool.)

This is a statement used like “give it to me straight” or “come clean”. Eye contact isn’t usually done outside of intimate relationships of family or close loved ones. Otherwise it’s seen as threatening.

you are no longer tea D:

I'M STILL CUP OF TEA! Just in Czech* now.

#*tumblr doesn't allow diacritics in username so i had to improvise with digraphs.

what was everyones most insufferable childhood trait mine was that i refused to use paragraphs all through highschool and used pilcrows instead and even my teachers gave up arguing after a while because i would stubbornly insist it was more economical and if it was good enough for the holy bible it should be good enough for them

#lied actually it was the ridiculous stacked digraphs font i insisted on writing with from age ~17 to ~21 that no one but myself could read

How do you pronounce the <ng> in the word "dinghy", as in a small boat?

I'm looking for answers from native or near-native English speakers, along with if you've heard this word spoken aloud before, and I've provided explanations of the 3 common <ng> pronunciations here:

/dɪŋi/ ding-y, rhymes with "thingy", with the from "singer" and no sound. click here for audio of this pronunciation

/dɪŋgi/ ding-gy, with the sound from the in "finger", has a hard sound. click here for audio

/dɪndʒi/ dindge-y, rhymes with "cringey". click here for audio

please feel free to put your selection + where you're from in the notes if you want to!

#pronunciation poll #pronunciation #english pronunciation #val comes out of hiding #ling shit #linguistics #option 3 is mostly there for the purpose of covering all the bases tbh i do not think the vast majority would pick that option #but if i leave it off that also feels wrong since it's still a common pronunciation for <ng> digraphs in english so /shrug
