does the phrase sound ok? it's about the usa vis-a-vis north korea and its potential threats. thanks a lot! hallo zusammen, könntet ihr bitte erklären, was bedeutet diese äußerung: ist eine furcht bekannt, das* man geliebten menschen oder so i'm trying to figure out the pronunciations of certain navajo words for a novel of mine that has navajo characters in it, and i'm getting what the frack? the i in hit and the i in police are two entirely different sounds! the first is ih, while the second is ee. what is this person trying to say? at first i thought they were pronouncing police as poh-lyse rather than poh-lease (which would be hilarious, comparing police to little blood-su*king parasites), but given that the name of the navajo people is diné and i know for a fact that that is pronounced dean-ay, this means the site writer pronounces the english word hit as heat. wtf??? this sound is a lateral fricative that doesn't really exist in english. the navajo pronunciation sounds like the ll in the welsh name llewellyn. some english speakers can pronounce it well if they try to pronounce the breathy l in the word clue without the c in what the frack does any of that even mean? the ll in llewellyn is just a fracking l! i even checked with other sites that provide spoken pronunciations of words to verify that the ll in llwellyn is just an l. and what does breathy l even mean??? also, i try saying clue without the c, and it's just loo. to add to the confusion, another site said the word łizhin is pronounced clih-djihn, meaning ł is said like cl, which contradicts the above. so.. what the fraggedy frack?
