Do you mean that R IS pronounced in "weather"? Wow!Originally Posted by Layne
BTW, the most funny russian word I know is "выхухоль".
Это слово и для многих русских звучит смешноOriginally Posted by gRomoZeka
In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

I always found it surprising that in most dictionaries they say that "r" in the words like "weather" is pronounced in American English however I NEVER hear it pronounced (except for by people speaking with strong foreign accents). But even if the problem is in my ears, it's certanly not pronounced like "r" in "road" for example.Originally Posted by gRomoZeka
"Happy new year, happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend"
So what does 'wheather' sound like to everone? I can picture a british person saying something like 'whea-thah' but I promise you the R is very prominantly spoken, at least in my region. I find that I say the R's in wheather and road very much the same way.
Do you hear "r" here? http://www.bartleby.com/61/11/W0071100.html I don't.
"Happy new year, happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then

Yes I do, although the R sound is a little shorter in the recording than I'm used to hearing.
Interesting.

I always pronounce the "r" in weather.
Anyway, here is another word that I find strange - парикмахерская

That looks more Austrailian to me. I would pronounce it 'Weh-the'.Originally Posted by Layne
Please correct any Russian language mistakes I make.
I don't either, but I can often hear "r" instead of "t" in "water" or "daughter". When I asked my son why he says "r", not "t", his answer was "I did not say "r".Originally Posted by Friendy

Thats interesting. To me T and R don't sound at all alike in those words. I can see how it might sound like 'warter' but you couldn't replace the T alltogether and still be understood at all. I find that 'warer' is pretty difficult to say and doesn't sound like water at all.
You mean like a rolled 'r'?
No, there are no rolled R's in english.
No, Scottish people roll their Rs.
I can't imagine how "road" can sound like "oad"!!!
BTW, back to topic. Another word I just remembered
жужжание

Hm. I notice myself sometimes saying "wedding" with r-like sound in the middle.Originally Posted by Lampada
