    The example “there are bits of cake on the floor” you wrote that the S pronounced as “z” but it should be “s” because the t letter is voiceless or without vibration 🤔🤔🤔🤔

    ElementalEnglish is one of the best and impressive video tutorials I've ever found on youtube. Thanks to the beautiful lady with a very clear, beautiful, and perfect voice who generously share the ideas and techniques of learning the English language. All the uploaded videos from this ElementalEnglish channel are IMPECCABLE and I think that's the best word to describe all the upoaded video tutorials, most especially to the lady who put her best, knowledge, and effort to all the videos. It was such a great work indeed. Keep up the good work! Once again, thank you so much for all the videos. These videos will be of great help to me in honing my english speaking skill. I will absolutely share this to my fellow filipino friends. Wish you all the best in life. From the Philippines, Ace

    In fact you can say "is" as both an /iz/ and /is/ sound, depending on your own preferences whether to emphasise your arguments. According to Cambridge Dictionary. Look it up yourself.

    @jumpair 9 років тому +16

    How come at 06:17 "bits of" are pronounced as "bitze" when you earlier noted that if "s" is preceded by silent "t" then it carries on without vibration?

    • @elementalenglish
      @elementalenglish  9 років тому +16

      This is a fantastic question.
      Any time there's a change in sound, mostly likely a sound before or after the change has caused it.
      Here, when I anticipated the vocal chord vibration from the [v] in "of" [əv], it led me to vibrate my vocal chords early and transform the [s] --> [z]. (See other lessons on transformation in sound for more clarification on vocal chord vibration).
      I didn't do this consciously or on purpose. It's just something I must have done unconsciously when speaking naturally and with the goal of efficiency. I probably would never have noticed it had you not said anything!

    • @WitheredChestnut
      @WitheredChestnut 5 років тому +2

      Because in the phrase 'bits of', there is i and o before and after the ts sound, which makes it sounds like tz. Same thing like Water -> Wader, Tomato -> Tomado, and so on.

    Great video! Just a quick question, I’ve been hearing the rules like if it ends in r, d, b, g, l...etc then it’ll be a z sound. Is that correct? what about the words like
    Letters
    Papers ( usually I heard ending s sound..same as with friends.)
    Friends
    Cars
    Toys
    Do they all have the z sound at the ends?
    Thank you!

  • @pivpo
    @pivpo 8 років тому

    I have a question.
    If I correctly understand the lession, all words terminated by "ion", for example: nations, computations, pronunciations,.. the plurial will be pronunced /z/, right?
    My friends doesn't agree with me, because we don't pronunce the letter "n", so for him, the rule cannot be applicated. And he hears people always pronunce /s/.
    So, the words terminated by"ion", the plurial will be pronuced /z/ or /s/ ?

    • @hendtariq3941
      @hendtariq3941 8 років тому +1
