The letter "c"
Its pronounced as a "ch" or a "ts" or something in between, depending on your dialect

R and Ñ
most foreigners cant into r, and only other latins can into ñ

Unsurprisingly Ä and Ö. Also double consonants and vowels

Is there a word when A and Ä is present? Might start studying Finnish after becoming intermediate in Japanese.

All the silent letters

It's rare. The only one that pops into mind is also the word with our longest vowel string "hääyöaie", it means wedding nights intent

I see a lot of people who don’t understand the difference between っ and つ and the right way to use を
But I’m too tired to explain it today
頑張れよアノンズ

Ä, Ö and Ü
>hurr durr i don't know what the dots mean so i just pretend they aren't there
It's cringeworthy how angl*s pronounce Führer as [fjuːɹɜ] for example

>most foreigners cant into r
wrong

/r/ /l/ /h/ /θ/ /ð/

Would you mind listening to 2-3 forvo recordings and confirming whether the sounds you're hearing are the same vowel as the Finnish ä?

Nope, go ahead and post them buddy

es.forvo.com/word/fi/hääyöaie/#fi

Not it's not.
You pronouce açai wrong.
It's ''ah-sai''
Unless you put a fucking something over the i like açaí

Also how 'o' can sometimes sound almost like the vowel sound in "look" and "good", but not really.

Also 'eu' like in "veux" or "-eur" really fuck me up.

r is just a mess.

> o = [oʊ]
> oo = [ʊ] or [uː]
that's pretty autistic too

>latin alphabet
>Germanic language
All of them.

They're from the Western dialect of the Mari language, known as Hill Mari. Some sources say it's Sup Forums, but when I hear it spoken it sounds way more like /æ/, which according to Wiki is the Finnish ä, hence why I'm curious for your input (the correspond cyrillic letter in the words below is ӓ)

ive met 2 germans irl
one has a 12 year old mexican kid and neither could roll their R

okay
My dialect of German has rolled r sounds.
And a lot of other language have it too, e.g. most Slavic and Uralic languages

What a lot of languages use a rolled r sound, you are thinking about anglos
rate please, although my mic is shit vocaroo.com/i/s1XAAuAdsq3y

Being finns and all, they nailed it. Except Erkkis exhale in the end of his, don't know what the fuck that was about.
Nope, that's E. You use Ä in english too, like the A in cat or hat is Ä, the A in bar or car is A

>rate please
Perfect. Better than many native speakers of Arabic and Persian here in Germany who just can't pronounce Ü for some reason.

Yes, the stress is on the i
açaí

Nice Hugo Chávez impression

Wait oops that was for >Perfect
Hehe thanks

>Nope, that's E.
lel, I hadn't realized but it does sound fairly similar to E now that you mention it

>the A in cat or hat is Ä
Yeah I know, I realized that right after my last post while looking at the Wiki page. What seems to be the case is that the IPA /æ/ can correspond to a wide array of different sounds, seeing as for example Quebec French also has /æ/ but it's very different from the A in the English "cat".

Anyway, thanks for your input!

ah, i guess ive just met the wrong foreigners
anglos in general, danes, germans and a japanese

>tällainen
short version of tämän lainen. means "this kind of (thing)"

Some people make a bizarre claim that Щ is shch ("Say freshcheese!")There aren't any words in the first place that have a shch sound. Щ is sh as in any English word with sh.

Then what's the difference without the tail? I never really got of the Russian orthography, some of it didn't seem like it was adding anything, made me think of English.

I'm not a linguist but with Ш the tongue points upwards without touching the palate (ᴗ), and with Щ it does the opposite (ᴖ). Щ is higher pitched, kinda whistly.

It's not really curving downwards, I guess, it's pretty much flat.

Ш is a cat hissing, Щ is snek.

how do you pronounce ã?

á é í ó ö ú ű ü and basically all the Hungarian letters...

Kwason

Sorry, Kwasan.

is scandinavian "y" really the same as german "Ü" like in "nyhavn"?

R

>Some people make a bizarre claim that Щ is shch ("Say freshcheese!")
I always found that very confusing. It sounds nothing like it.

Yes, or at least it sounds the same for me.

People who aren't English-speakers are entirely incapable of saying [ʃ] as in "shit"

So do chat and cat sound the same to you?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Voiceless_palato-alveolar_sibilant.ogg

Literally Щ.

Xx is pronounced "h" and Bв is pronounced "v". cyrillic can be confusing if your native lang has latin alphabet
also foreigners seem to have complex relationships with Щщ (palatalized sh)

Well no, its my native language Cree.
The "chuh/ts" sounds are 'c' and the "kuh" sounds are 'k'.

Shoulda said that it wasn't English I was talking about.

kannada has two versions each for t, d, l, sh.
one kind is pronounced by curling your tongue to the roof of the mouth, and the other by pressing your tongue to your gums.
most people can't pronounce the second kind in t, d, and sh, and the first kind in l.
also, r sound has a consonant letter as well as a vowel letter

You say an 'a' with the help of your nose.

How do you say a letter with your nose?
Genuinely curious because I have no idea what you're talking about

ng is a nasal sound, you say it with your nose.

From my experience y is the hardest to get for foreigners.

The letter "O" is actually pronounced as an elephant noise

Nasal vowel. 'M', 'N', and 'ng' are all nasal, for example.

Apart from the obvious (Å, Ä, Ö):
Y is a vowel
U is always pronounced wrong by foreigners except norwegians because they have the same sounds
O is pronounced like english U
I is pronounced like the E in wheel
K can be soft and pronounced like sh in ship
Any letter combo that is pronounced /ɧ/
No distinction between S and Z
J is pronounced like an english Y

It was weird to learn I'd been getting 'gy' wrong for so long

I don't think anyone has trouble with the letters.

vittu saaatana vittu perkele mean you can come talk to me about your achievements in life and anything that at very moment is dwelling inside your mind

People sometimes have problems withthe rolling r

Every single one

A and Ä cannot be in a same word. Ä is a front vowel (pronounced in the front part of your mouth) and A is a back vowel. Front and back vowels are never mixed in a Finnish word unless it's a compound word or a loan word

ă and â

J!!!!
It's not Z it's j like y (for example: you)

That's pretty good, nice effort on the rr. Also what did you say at the end because I am not sure if that was Spanish or English?

The dutch Sup Forums sound (also spelled with ch), foreigners tend to make it either too soft or over exaggerate it. E.g. sheep=schaap, they either say shaap or sgggggaap

Don't you think you're overreacting a little bit?
I think it would be /a.sa'i/

i get my jimmies rustled whenever someone writes a pronunciation like a dumb amerimutt

ł = 'w' sound, ć or cz ='ch' sound, ź = 'zz' sound, ż = 'zh' sound, ś, sz and sometimes rz = 'sh' sound, Jokers and Deuces are wild, and Jacks are better to open

i was about to say, i feel the entirety of polish falls under this catergory
