minus-squaretuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-23 months agoWait, the “o” in “holiday”, “lovely” sound different, so which is it?
minus-squareGojuRyu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 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.

minus-squaretuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 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
