REEEEEEEEEEEE

>>59135583
>>59135878
>pronouncing neither with a "v"
>>59136024

WHY IS "LIVE" PRONOUNCED BOTH "LYV" AND "LEEV"?!??!
"GHOTI" IS PRONOUNCED "FISH", YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP

Using "th" as used in "the" as opposed to the "th" used in "thunder" works fine.
>>59135415
>slow-ain't-ya?
>>59136124
>"GHOTI" IS PRONOUNCED "FISH", YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP
not sure if troll but that's only if you're a propa spacca dyslexic m8
as for live
presumably blame the french
>>59136140
the th sound in both of those words should sound the same
>>59136184
>tests it
no way

This is America. We can pronounce words however we want. Its basically our language at this point anyways and we simply let you brits borrow it.

Well, every language has this, synonyms, homonyms etc
But only in English have I seen that the words written in the same way are pronounced differently, and the same phonemes pronounced differently under the same rules, not many languages do that

The first thing that comes to mind in Slovene is klop. With a narrow o it means a bench and with a wide o it means a tick.

But that is accent, you pronounce it the same, just with a different accent
Argentinian on this thread pointed out "bass" as "bass guitar" is (bejs) and in "bass" as in "bass fish" is (bes) with soft, a bit longer "e". They dont change the accent, but the word as a whole. Does not happen much in other languages, I would say

I don't know what those are but I do know that Slovene sounds much more human than the TV noise that is Polish.

Australians pronounce it correctly because we all grew up with this ad:
