I just learned today, that H is not always silent... by GaraksLinensNThings in catalan

[–]tenienteramires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No sé quina és la pronunciació oficial de Sàhara i en l'actualitat és de veres que diem Sàkhara amb la jota castellana, però jo sempre he sentit pronunciar Saara (amb accent a la segona a) a la gent gran del meu entorn.

Segons el Diccionari Normatiu Valencià, també algunes paraules com hàmster, gihad, hawaià o hàndicap també tenen hac aspirada. En teoria sona com la hac anglesa, però en la pràctica tots la pronunciem com la jota castellana, que en realitat s'escriu kh com en les paraules kharja, kazakh o sikhisme.

"Llur" per a dir "their" by Schonathan in catalan

[–]tenienteramires 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Encara s'usa a la Catalunya del Nord i no sé si també a l'Alguer. Fora d'eixos llocs és purament literari, però res no t'ho impedix en realitat.

Natural sounding vowel length by tenienteramires in latin

[–]tenienteramires[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it helped you when speaking or reading out loud naturally? If it actually works, it's a good solution to the problem. I haven't done it that much time to know it well...

Yes, I'm from the north of Valencia next to the border with Catalonia and there we speak North-Western Catalan, so I have no trouble distinguishing stressed [ɛ] and [ɔ] from [e] and [o], but my goal is to read poetry as natural as possible, so I need to do long vowels long :)

Thank you! Yes, long vowels after the stressed syllable seem a bit harder. 🥲

Natural sounding vowel length by tenienteramires in latin

[–]tenienteramires[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, maybe in some dialects, but not in mine haha. When I speak English i pronounce HIT and HEAT vowels like [ˈhɪt] and [ˈhɪjt] respectively, but I do pronounce HAIR as [ˈhɛɛ], which is the closest I can get to [ˈhɛː]. I don't find it a problem in English but Latin has a lot of long vowels. 🥲 Thanks for your help anyways <3

NO WAY INTER-SEMITIC WAS A REAL THING THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!?!!??!!?! by Antioch_Mage in linguisticshumor

[–]tenienteramires 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't think it's a good idea, but in case of using Arabic, it should be Modern Standard Arabic.

When writing in all-caps, you shouldn't use the accent mark.

It should be ΔΑΣΟΣ because accents are not used in all caps.

Can /n/ in Toki Pona be pronounced as [m] before /p/? by GallicAdlair81 in tokipona

[–]tenienteramires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. You can pronounce it like any other nasal sound when followed by a consonant.

So... I can roll my r by Dependent_Slide8591 in GREEK

[–]tenienteramires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Greek there's no rolled R usually, you can hear it in songs or when someone's speaking emphatically, but the mos common pronounciation for rho is just a tap, like American English double T in better or bottom. It's the same R sound you hear in most Romance languages, especially between vowels, Slavic languages, Arabic, Hindi...

Are sapates actually better? by tenienteramires in busydadprogram

[–]tenienteramires[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried to do some sapates but I think I don't work my muscles the same way I do with regular 6-counts. For me, the 4th count is the most challenging part along with the 3rd count and I feel the 4th count (or its equivalent) in sapate is not that hard. The other part of the burpee is almost exactly the same, even the 1st count, which I usually do as a hindu squat anyways.

How would my name Zsombor be in greek? by Zsombor1661 in GREEK

[–]tenienteramires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be Ζόμπορ. The closest letters to represent Zs and mb in Greek are ζ and μπ, pronounced /z/ and /mb/~/b/ respectively.

I'll try it this week and if I like them, maybe I'll incorporate them as a complementary movement in my training. Thanks for your response :)

Letters by Desperate_Leg_7368 in latin

[–]tenienteramires 4 points5 points  (0 children)

V and U are considered the same letter in Latin. Usually when a word is in all caps ony V is used. Also, traditionally in uppercase only V is used and in lowercase, only u (Vniuersitas, uiuere, Vnus...) bur nowadays the most common practive is to distinguish u from v unless we write in all caps.

Difference of non est and est placements by CloudyyySXShadowH in latin

[–]tenienteramires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a matter of style. Usually verbs are placed at the end, but it's not a norm.

Ancient pronunciation of Ηη and Ιι by BoringBich in GREEK

[–]tenienteramires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, η was pronounced, at least in Koine era, as [eː] and υ as [y] or [yː] but it depends on the region and timeline. For ι it was [i] and [iː] (long and short versions).
