Thread: letter combinations

Hey I'm still having trouble with a few letter combinations maybe you guys can help

зя in нельзя is it like zya cause that is weird and hard
ле lye? going from l to y is hard for me or dhould it just be from l to e?
or what happens when the same letter is next to each other like
сс , ии , or нн
and some final ones
ый
ей
ий
maybe someone can help or those that have voice sampling abilities (AHEM) could maybe put up some voice recording to help a brotha out.

This forum has been most helpful

Maybe I'll make a sound-file, because it'll be useful for myself as well. Until then:
зя - just 'zya'. Not the 'zh' sound as in british/french 'garage', but the 'zy' sound of 'the houses your seeing'
ле - lye.
сс, ии, нн - pronounced longer than single ones, no pause in between.
ый - if you know how to pronounce the first letter, just add the 'y' sound as in 'boy'
ей - yey
ий - eey

awesome.....a sound file would be appreciated if possible though
I made a mistake in my original post though

My problem with нельзя was the льз not the зя

Hey vbouldr there was this dude a while back who put some thing on this board where you e-mail him a word he sends you a little file something with the pronunciation. I'll try to find it for you but I couldn't even find one of my posts so it might be a while .

The bad thing is that I don't know if it's still here because this site had a lot of posts erased because of some computer error thing whatever. Only thing I remember about the dude was the cowboy simpson guy smoking avatar.

Oh and is your avatar one of those monsters from super mario bros 2?

WHOA!! That is totally what I need
