DMからの質問

Onionの発音

🗻山ちゃん、ケビンさん、こんにちわ…
👓You did 絵文字, you silently, non-verbally,replicated the 絵文字 on screen.
🗻Bcz that’s what she brought us..
👓I like your accuracy of reading the message.

よくケビンさんがHeads up guy と言われますが、頭が下がる思いです

👓That was very intellectual joke right there. International joke😂😂
🗻Bilingual joke😂

awesome low onion  アとオの間の発音だかそれぞれ異なる

👓😅😅You did another 絵文字. No one can understand bcz this doesn't go out on video formats
🗻Oh, that’s audio.. that’s sad😅
👓Another replication right there.

sucker の発音も上手くできない

🗻Ok, so two questions. Let’s do this one by one.

awesome ˈɔsəm
law lˈɔː
onion ˈʌnjən

★発音記号が上記2つとオニオンは全然違いますね…

🗻It’s noオニオンanymore.. It sounds to me ウニオン

★awesome やlawを発音してみるケビンくんに対して

🗻😅😅I have a question. Is it necessary that you pronounced like.. オウ.. you put muscles on it.. Is that necessary?
👓Well, let me see if I can pronounce it without the stress. オーサム…Am I doing it without the stress? Then it’s necessary then.オウサム…So that awesome, onion.. I’m going to do it 交互… 一緒、ほぼ🤣🤣🤣🤣
🗻But it sounds like Onion is a bit darker..And awesome is a little lighter.
👓That’s true. But that’s about it, though, you know? I don’t think there’s not much of a difference here.
🗻So how do you describe the sound?
👓Sure.. I would say that the aw is more like your jaw’s a little bit lower I guess. It sounds the same, but you’re actually your mouth, your jaw is a little bit 下がってる. Then Onion, it’s not as 下がってる as much.
🗻Oh, it’s true, the room.. Your mouth is little smaller with the onion.
👓Absolutely.
🗻So is that アとオの中間のような音..
👓Yeah.. I would say that’s true. I mixed it and it was the same. I would say, it’s very close.
