ok dad

;)

Yeah but we don't torturously try to defend it

Wait the d in Wednesday is silent ?

Fun fact: french linguist actually wanted to replace the usual space to seperate words with "zxtdc"

no the image is wrong. there is no silent letter, although the pronunciation is more like Wedensday

In fact all the "silent" D's are wrong there

Definitely silent "d" in Wednesday here

this is why i started learning german
silent letters can go fuck themselves
god knows why we havent adopted an IPA sound alphabet

Wen-ez-day?
Wen-ens-day?

kek, must be an american thing

in ourlanguage it would be written "vennsdei/vednsdei"
wednesday is so illogical

In my experience they say something like "Whens-day"

>my language makes more sense than yours BUT it's not because it's my native language it's because you do this this and that differently to us and our way is better

It comes from old English phonology, it used to be something like Wodnesddag (Wodens day)

plebeians

>defending english spelling
explain why "ancient" is spelled like that

>wenes-day
>waynes-day
Always pronounce it this way. Is it correct?

pff, not even a new idea

I bet french put those silent letters there just to mess with the rest of us

German has silent letters too since people don't adjust the spelling or pronunciation of English loanwords to match German orthography.

stumme buchstaben auf deutsch sind aber selten

there's nothing wrong with silent letters
they help guide the pronunciation of the word

We'll just get rid of everything unuseful

Noch sind sie selten. Wenn mehr und mehr deutschr Wörter durch englische ersetzt werden, werden sie häufig sein. Genau wie es im Englischen durch französischen Einfluss passiert ist.

Yep, exactly

>god knows why we havent adopted an IPA sound alphabet

because that's retarded and impractical?

English speaking countries will defend the silent L in salmon.

Yea, we want to watch the world burn

I've heard people say it with a hard L (not consistently)

can someone give me an overview on pronouncing things in french?

i feel like a complete dumb-ass when pronouncing french words. my specialty is in asian languages, where we have a more consistent romanized pronounciation.

don't be an austist trying to pronunce too hard the consonants. Everytime people exaggerate I don't know if they do it on purpose
Sometimes "r" isn't even heard. Don't groan like an idiot, it is a short "r".
I don't know what else there's to say, that's pretty wide

calm, balm, half, calf etc - silent letters? which retard wrote this, i don't say a baby cow is a CAF

"r" is similar to the German one. Short (remember, short)
vowels before "m" and "n" are nasal

impossible - "uhhhmpossiiibl" (sorry for possibly caricaturing the word)
The "uhhh" is nasal and rounded

"ais" - e
"ail" - ahy, "aille" - "ahye"
"ai" - e
"ch" - sh
"ill" - long English y, Slavic "j"
"ou" - u
"eu" - rounded u
Consonants in the end are mostly not pronounced

I don't know...

>my specialty is in asian languages, where we have a more consistent romanized pronounciation.

I just noticed that if a word doesn't end by "e" then it will always be a silent consonant.

>frenchaboos
We prefer to be called ouiboos.

Most people who are educated here say "whend-sday" or "wed-nes-day". Fuckers in the south say shit like "winsdee"

>this triggers the anglo

deal with it

It's pronounced "wenz-day" in American English.

At school we were taught that the "t" in "often" is silent but I always hear the anglo pronounce it.

Have we been lied to?

Nobody in America says "offt'n". Maybe Briddish people do, but Muricans don't.

how about plus, and all the words ending with a vowel

These letters are pronunced actually
