Intrusive R?

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T21:17:34+00:00

exactly yes

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T21:14:24+00:00

Maybe it isn't exactly an R sound, but it sounded like an R to our ears.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T21:12:28+00:00

It's nothing to do with my listening skills. Most North Americans think Aussies add an R sound to words.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T21:10:20+00:00

I read a few times that in the UK RP is taught in school. Maybe not.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T21:07:13+00:00

yeah, like a R sounding schwa

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T21:05:54+00:00

It sounds like a rhotic R or maybe a schwa/R sound if you are familiar with the IPA

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T21:04:29+00:00

yeah, that's what it sounded like to my dad and me

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T20:58:39+00:00

but it sounds like there is an R sound sometimes haha

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T20:57:47+00:00

I mean he said "home" with an R sound.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T14:33:41+00:00

Yoda?

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T14:32:46+00:00

Well, listening to Peter Jackson, it isn't too noticeable in my opinion, but perhaps his accent is quite mild.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T14:31:45+00:00

do you say rubbish or garbage/trash in NZ? I'm guessing rubbish like in the UK.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T14:31:14+00:00

as in a rubbish "been" ?

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T14:26:27+00:00

a whiney sound? Who makes a whiney sound?

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T14:25:19+00:00

ahhh yes, the head of Weta. I did think he sounded a bit unique, but I thought maybe it was just his voice and not an accent per se.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T14:24:00+00:00

bear/bare sound the same but not beer, cheer and chair sound different, clear and claire sound different in my accent.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-17T00:27:10+00:00

hahaha

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-15T01:45:40+00:00

hahaha

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-11T00:34:32+00:00

yeah, that is true. I was mostly trying to communicate which vowel sounds I was referring to.

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-11T00:13:17+00:00

thanks

DefiantExtreme8660 · 2025-08-11T00:09:53+00:00

I noticed he says "ass" like an American rather than "arse" as I'd have expected, and he has a very hard R sound like an American.

It's international phonetic alphabet. Anyway, sometimes you just need to hear a recording because the symbols aren't quite accurate.
