English pronunciation
« on: October 01, 2008, 03:10:46 AM »
Hi, how do you pronunciate in (british) english these words?

and - cat - black - a - can't 

Do you say "a" like in Sam Wise?

I watched the Harry Potter 5 Trailer, and Umbridge said: "this is 'a' lie" - like A in the Alphabet... ??? I am confused...

Real English- "uh"
Proper English- long "A"

and - cat - black - can't 

All short a sound. As in Sam yes.

Well actually if you were looking for the British pronunciation only the first three words would be the short a sound as in Sam. Can't would be said as if it was spelt carn't. Hope that helps.

Can be pronounced two ways, long e or long i. Depends on whether you talk to a Brit, Yankee, Southerner, Californian or Midwesterner.

That's how I pronounce it to, but we're both midwesterners so our english is sloppy anyways.

Southern is actually more like a long 'a.'

I've heard 'either' pronounced in one of two ways; long 'I' or long 'E'. I use the long I, but that's just me. ;)

Eventhough I'm not english, it seems to me that either is supposed to be pronounced with the long I....

What does "Dang" mean? Something like damm? Something more in a positive or pejorative sense?
