 LanguagesAsk questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful. Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet. To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages You are not allowed to post messages to this board.

I had to look up 'sequoia' a red wood tree. Love the word 'facetious'! Never heard of meaiou spelled like that? Hmm I'll have to think of that one! :o) LOL at your tongue twister!! Had to say that very very slowly! 2. May 2006, 23:16:18 Ok last post for the evening (promise lol)

AIOUEA (a genus of plants of the laurel family) 2. May 2006, 22:53:41 2. May 2006, 01:15:50 Subject: Re: رضا: no I don't say those either! Im English not American & those examples you have given sound more like an American accent to me.......I could be wrong???? 2. May 2006, 01:13:54 Subject: Re: رضا: yes really! If I was being lazy with my speech it would come out 'did ya' instead of 'did you' 2. May 2006, 01:10:03 Subject: Re: Modified by Ewe (2. May 2006, 01:11:17) رضا: dij you? hmmmmmmm no sorry I can honestly say that I say 'did you'
It's all very interesting....I think alot about the way I say things as I have a two year old child, who speaks very well, and is learning new words every day, so I am careful she learns it properly. * I have to keep editing my posts as I'm typing too fast & making mistakes with my spelling lol 2. May 2006, 01:02:52 Subject: Re: Modified by Ewe (2. May 2006, 01:03:55) رضا:  no, I still don't say 'tem boys' when I say ten birds fast!
Maybe I'm paying too much attention in pronouncing them correctly? 2. May 2006, 00:46:35 Subject: Re: رضا: Yes I understand what you mean now but I still don't think that it works on that example. It's two seperate words..ten cats..etc. therefore you pause between words so the 'n' stays the same.
Well it stays the same for me........ 2. May 2006, 00:12:59 Subject: Re: رضا: How does the pronunciation of 'ten' change? I read them out loud & it stays the same for me  1. May 2006, 17:58:16 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez:  I'd love to hear that converstion!
Is dictionary.com American? It doesn't exisit in the Oxford English dictionary http://www.askoxford.com/results/?view=searchresults&freesearch=blue%20eyed&branch=&textsearchtype=exact 1. May 2006, 17:27:53 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: Poke your finger through your neck? How often does that sentence come up in conversation???
Blue eyed! Two words, doesn't count  1. May 2006, 17:24:44 Subject: Re: Lamby: I meant learned! not leant!  1. May 2006, 16:25:30 Subject: Re: رضا: I have never thought of it before??? 
Plus I have never heard of the word 'consonantal' before! Thank you I have just leant a new word  21. April 2006, 00:44:46 Modified by Ewe (21. April 2006, 01:06:27) Evolution of the English alphabet

Maybe it's my accent? 14. April 2006, 22:57:12 Subject: Re: Pet peeves..... Rose: I agree with you..all that you have listed irritiates me too! 14. April 2006, 22:56:20 Subject: Re: Pet peeves..... رضا: There, Their & They're are not all pronouced the same!
There & Their are the same BUT They're is different 10. April 2006, 22:29:09 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: Hi there! Thanks! Im really enjoying reading this board :o) 9. April 2006, 23:41:35 Hi! Great board!
here is my attempt to explain... banned....to legally take away a right prohibited...to forbid by authority forbidden....to command someone not to do something prevented.....to stop something from happening (usually to stop something bad from happening) disallowed.....to not allow something unpermitted....never heard of this!! we say 'not permitted' and that is similar to disallow 1. banned 2. prohibited 3. not permitted 4. permitted |
