Thread: double vowels -яя -ии -ее

Wow, thanks for all the videos! Really helpful Would осенние sound different then осеннее?

Yeah I feel like the unstressed endings sound very identical. Same with -oe -ая endings when unstressed. I guess it's just a matter of practice and listening.

Start with loud and clear pronunciation, where difference is obvious. Practice and you will end with fluent speech, where unstressed vowels are degraded to some kind of "unclear sounds". It is biology and physics of mouth and language.
