BANNED (The Game)

Post Reply New Topic

Banned for making me wonder if it is [thay-tuh] or [thee-tuh]. I think I just say Θ.

It is most definitely Thee-tuh. I was just humouring him.

Banned because Θ looks no more unpronounceable than some of the Finnish words I am learning.

Banned! Every Finnish word is pronouncable if you know how to say each letter. But this you aldready knew. Admittedly, there are difficult vowel pairs like {äy, yä, öy, yö} and triplets of vowels, even quadruplets.

English isn't easy to pronounce, either. The trickiest English combinations of letters for a Finn to pronounce are {thr, ths} and, maybe surprisingly, the distinction between gr/cr. And even if we can say [z] correctly, we tend to forget that it should be used in some cases where it is spelled with s.

Banned: For bad language.
