minus-squaretuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-22 days agoWait, the “o” in “holiday”, “lovely” sound different, so which is it?
minus-squarewonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 day agoThe ø sounds more like an ö from German. In fact, Swedish uses the ö instead if the ø. The monty python slides are just a humørous stylization, nothing more
minus-squareGojuRyu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 days 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-up3·2 days 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
