Thread: 'Чт' words

From another topic:

I've wanted to hear examples of 'Чт' words where the Ч is pronounced just as Ч and not Ш to know what the pronounciation sounds like.

If someone could record the first two words in the quote and any other words that are pronounced the same way I would appreciate it.

it sounds like Chtivo, Chmo, chanstvo.

I don't know what they sound like either, but thanks.

I have more than one idea of what this pronounciation sounds like and one or more probably wrong. Is it supposed to sound sharp or soft?

You make a normal Russian Ч like in Читать then follow it by whatever the @@@ing letter is.

Russian Ч is always soft (palatalised).

Not true. Чтиво, чтить, чванство, чморить and tons more are pronounced with ч, not ш.

I think it must be чмырить instead of чморить =)

Awesome Dimitri! How about "чрезвычайный!"

Does it sound like "черезвычайный" or is it just me?

Да, это так звучит "черезвычайный"

Большое спасибо. Я всегда хотел знать как произносить это сочтание звуков.... и теперь мне известно!
