    Hello there! At the timestamp of 4:32, you've written the phonetic transcription of city as /sɪ . ti/ which is wrong because there is no such sound symbol as /i/ but rather /ɪ/ is being provided in the Phonemic Chart. So, the correct answer would be /sɪ . tɪ/. Similarly, at 4:41, it should be /iː . zɪ/ instead of /ˈiː . zi/.

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Рік тому +1

      Helo Kavya! You are very observant! So, there is a symbol such as /i/ and we use it for words that end in 'y' e.g. city, funny, easy and even my name (Billie). So, city = /ˈsɪti/ is correct. You can check it in a dictionary. However, there might also be some books using the symbol /ɪ/ although the sound would be a bit longer than that. I hope this helps!

    Plz.explain about onset, peak,coda .

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  2 роки тому +5

      Thank you for your comment. I will consider this suggestion for future videos! Until then, this might help:
      These 3 words (onset, nucleus, coda) are used to describe the various parts of a syllable in phonology. To say it simply: the onset it the start of the syllable, the nucleus the middle bit, the coda the end.
      I'll start with the nucleus which is the core of the syllable. It is usually the vowel in the middle of the syllable (remember: there is only ONE vowel sound per syllable).
      However, some syllables start with one (or more) consonants before the vowel sound, so those form the onset.
      If there are any sounds after the vowel nucleus (= more consonants), they form the coda.
      So it's:
      SYLLABLE = (onset) + nucleus + (coda)
      onset & coda are optional, because some syllables just consist of one vowel sound in English.
      Each language has its own rules regarding onset, nucleus and coda.
      I hope this helps!

    Thanks in advance!

    • @BillieEnglish

      The word 'process' has 2 syllables: /ˈprəʊ.ses/

    In around 19:13, why should we divide the the word 'sunny' into the two syllables 'sunn.y'? Why not saying 'su.ny', I am confused a bit, and thanks!

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Рік тому +2

      Good question! Finding the syllable boundary can be a bit difficult. I sometimes have to double check with a dictionary as well, but this is correct: /ˈsʌn.i/

    👆 *syllable*
    /ˈsɪl.ə.bəl/
    With all due respect, you have mis-syllabified
    /ˈsɪləbəl/ as
    /ˈsɪl.ə.bəl/.
    Because you pronounced syllable
    as [ˈsɪ]+[lə]+[bəl], the correct answer is
    /ˈsɪ.lə.bəl/. Written syllables must match the spoken syllables.

    They write the word 'city' is /ˈsɪt̬·i/, but i hear many native American speakers say /ˈsɪ.t̬i/
    /ˈmen.ju/ and /ˈme.nju/, which is correct? Is there any different when speaking these two syllable types.
