Ask 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

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

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?

Konu: 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........

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
