8 Tips for British English Pronunciation

Hi, everyone. I'm Jade. What we're talking about today is some pronunciation tips for

hi,sbailai. ma hun jade.hami aaj k ko barema boldaichau bhane tyo ho uchhaaranko tarikaa

British English. Some of them are tips; some of them are observations that you might be

ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी। तिनीहरूलाई केही सुझावहरू छन्; केही तिनीहरूलाई तपाईं हुन सक्छ अवलोकन छन्

interested to know. We've got eight of them, so let's get started.

थाहा रुचि। हामी आठ भयो तिनीहरू, त्यसैले सुरू गरौं।

Pronunciation of-ed word endings. This is not specifically a British English issue.

उच्चारण को-एड शव्दहरुलाई। यो छ छैन विशेष एक ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी मुद्दा।

If your preference -- I don't know why I can't speak suddenly in an English pronunciation

यदि तपाईंको प्राथमिकता - मलाई थाहा छैन सक्छन् किन म एक अंग्रेजी उच्चारण मा अचानक बोल्न

video, but that's how it is. If your preference is American English, this also applies to

भिडियो, तर यो छ कसरी। तपाईंको प्राथमिकता भने अमेरिकी अंग्रेजी छ, यो पनि लागू हुन्छ

American English. So what I hear a lot at, sort of, around intermediate level -- sometimes

अमेरिकी अंग्रेजी। त्यसैले म मा, क्रमबद्ध धेरै सुन्न के को, मध्यवर्ती स्तर वरिपरि - कहिलेकाहीं

upper intermediate level if you haven't had someone to correct you -- -ed word endings

तपाईं थियो छैन भने माथिल्लो मध्यवर्ती स्तर -ed शव्दहरुलाई - तपाईं ठीक कसैलाई

sound like this. I can't even do it because it's so unnatural for me. "Excite-ed shout-ed,

यो जस्तै आवाज। म पनि किनभने यो गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ यो मेरो लागि त अप्राकृतिक छ। "उत्तेजना Query-एड कराउनु-एड,

remind-ed." It's so unnatural for me. But in fact, it's not like that. It doesn't sound

सम्झाउने-एड। "यो मेरो लागि त अस्वाभाविक हो। तर मा वास्तवमा, यो जस्तो छैन। यो आवाज छैन

like an -ed. It might sound like an /id/; it might sound like a /t/; or it might sound

एक -ed जस्तै। यो एक जस्तै आवाज सक्छ / आईडी /; यसलाई एक / टी जस्तै आवाज सक्छ /; वा ध्वनि सक्छ

like a /d/. So I've got some examples here. This word, even though it's spelled -ed, makes

एक / घ / जस्तै। त्यसैले म यहाँ केही उदाहरणहरू भयो। यो -ed spelled गर्नुपर्छ तापनि यो शब्द, बनाउँछ

an /id/ sound. It becomes "excited". "I'm really excited." "Shouted." "He shouted at

एक / आईडी / ध्वनि। यसलाई "उत्तेजित" हुन्छ। "म हुँ साँच्चै उत्साहित। "" यसो। "" उहाँले मा चिच्याए

me." "Reminded." "I reminded you to do your homework; didn't I?" And -- yeah.

मलाई। "" सम्झाइएको। "" म के तपाईं सम्झना तिम्रो गृहकार्य; म गरे "अनि? - हाँ।

So now, we can talk about the ones that finish with a t sound. "Finished. Dripped. Laughed."

त्यसैले अब, हामी समाप्त भन्ने व्यक्तिहरूलाई बारेमा कुरा गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ध्वनि मा संग। "सकियो। झरी बर्षायो। हँसे।"

They don't have the-ed sound. So that's an important thing to know about pronunciation.

तिनीहरूले-एड ध्वनि छैन। ताकि छ एक महत्त्वपूर्ण कुरा उच्चारण बारेमा जान्न।

Even if it's spelled-ed, it doesn't mean it sounds like that. And what about the ones

यसलाई-एड spelled छ भने पनि, यो होइन जस्तो सुनिन्छ। र व्यक्तिहरूलाई के

that end with a d sound, a "duh" sound. "Remembered." "I remembered what you said to me." "Called."

विज्ञापन ध्वनि, एक "ओह" ध्वनि संग अन्त्य। "सम्झना।" "म तिमी मलाई के भन्नुभयो सम्झना।" "भनिन्छ।"

"I called you. Didn't you hear your phone?" "Imagined." "I imagined a better future for

"म तपाईंलाई आफ्नो फोन सुन्न परेन तपाईं भनिन्छ।?" "कल्पना।" "म को लागि एक राम्रो भविष्य कल्पना

everyone." So with those, it's a D sound. How do you know for each one? Go with what

सबैलाई। "ती संग त्यसैले, यो एक डी ध्वनि छ। प्रत्येक एक लागि कसरी थाहा छ? जाने के

feels most natural when you're saying the word. The main thing is don't force the -ed

तपाईं यसो गर्दा सबैभन्दा प्राकृतिक महसुस शब्द। मुख्य कुरा -ed बल छैन छ

sound at the end of the word because it's that that gives you an unnatural rhythm when

किनभने यो हो शब्द को अन्त मा ध्वनि भनेर एउटा अस्वाभाविक गर्दा ताल दिन्छ कि

you're speaking English.

तपाईं अंग्रेजी बोल्ने हुनुहुन्छ।

So moving on to -- this one's an observation, really. British English pronunciation. We

त्यसैले गर्ने सार्दा - यो एउटा एउटा अवलोकन हो, साँच्चै। ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी उच्चारण। हामी

have so many different accents in England. But one of the biggest divisions in our accents is

बेलायतमा धेरै फरक महत्तव छ। तर हाम्रो महत्तव मा सबै भन्दा ठूलो प्रभाग को छ

-- it's between the north of the country and the south, and it's our pronunciation of these

- यो देश को उत्तर र बीच छ दक्षिण, र यो यी हाम्रो उच्चारण हो

words: "bath" and "laugh", as I say them. I say them in the southern pronunciation.

शब्द: "स्नान" र "हाँस र", म तिनीहरूलाई भन्न रूपमा। म दक्षिणी उच्चारण तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुहोस्।

But if I were from the north -- if I were from the north of the country, I'd say "bath"

तर यदि म उत्तर थिए - म थिए भने देश को उत्तर देखि, म "स्नान" भन्न चाहन्छु

and "laugh" because they have a different accent up there. Well, they've got loads of

र तिनीहरूले फरक छ किनभने "हाँस्न" त्यहाँ माथि उच्चारण। को राम्रो, तिनीहरूले भयो भार

different accents, but they don't speak in the same way as me. So let's break it down

विभिन्न महत्तव, तर तिनीहरू बोल्न छैन मलाई जस्तै तरिका हो। त्यसैले गरेको यो बिग्रनु गरौं

into the actual sound. So if you're from the North, you say, "a". But we, in the South,

वास्तविक ध्वनि मा। तपाईं देखि हुनुहुन्छ भने त उत्तर, तपाईं "एक", भन्छन्। तर हामी, दक्षिण मा,

say "au". So you say "bath", we say "bauth". And you say "laf"; we say "laugh". And you

"आउ" भन्नुहोस्। त्यसैले तपाईं हामी "bauth" भन्न "स्नान" भन्नुहोस्। र तपाईं "laf" भन्न; हामी भन्न "हाँस्न"। तपाईं र

can also hear it in these two words. It doesn't have to be the first or only a vowel in the

यी दुई शब्दमा यसलाई सुन्न सक्नुहुन्छ। यसलाई गर्दैन पहिलो वा मात्र एक स्वर हुनुपर्छ

word. In the southern pronunciation, this is "commaund". But in the northern pronunciation,

शब्द। दक्षिणी उच्चारण मा, यो छ "Commaund"। तर उत्तरी उच्चारण मा,

it's "command". And the southern pronunciation of this word is "caust". The northern pronunciation

यसलाई "आदेश" छ। र दक्षिणी उच्चारण यो शब्द "caust" छ। उत्तरी उच्चारण

is "cast". The cast of Brookside came to London." "Brookside" was an old soap that's not on

"डाली" छ। Brookside को डाली लन्डन आए। " "Brookside" मा छ कि पुरानो साबुन थियो

TV anymore, and it was people from Liverpool. And I was just doing the accent. Probably

टिभी अब, र यो लिभरपूल मानिसहरूलाई थियो। र मैले उच्चारण गरिरहेको थियो। शायद

that's really irrelevant to you. You will never see that show, but anyway. You know, now.

कि तपाईं साँच्चै अप्रासंगिक छ। तपाईं कहिल्यै कि शो हेर्न, तर जे भए पनि। तपाईं अब थाहा छ,।

Next tip. I don't hear this that often, but when I do, it sounds really, really, really

अर्को टिप। म अक्सर यो सुन्न छैन, तर जब म के, यो साँच्चै, साँच्चै, साँच्चै सुनिन्छ

wrong. And I think this tip generally -- generally a good example of how -- just because we write

गलत। र म साधारण यो टिप लाग्छ - सामान्यतया को कसरी राम्रो उदाहरण - बस किनभने हामी लेख्न

something one way doesn't mean we say it that way. So in English -- American English, too

केहि एउटा तरिका हामी यो भन्न होइन बाटो। त्यसैले अंग्रेजी मा - अमेरिकी अंग्रेजी पनि

-- W sounding words are the same as the "wh" sound in words for spelling. It actually sounds

- लग डब्ल्यू शब्दहरूले "Wh" जस्तै हो हिज्जे लागि शब्दमा आवाज। यो वास्तवमा सुनिन्छ

the same. So we've got two words here, "wine" and "whine". One is spelled with WH, and one

उस्तै। त्यसैले हामी "रक्सी", दुई शब्द यहाँ भयो र "रुनु"। एक WH संग spelled छ, र एक

is just spelled with I. "Whine" is a kind of moan or a kind of cry. Sometimes, young

बस म "रुनु" संग spelled एक प्रकारको छ को विलाप वा कराउँदै एक प्रकारको। कहिलेकाहीं, युवा

children whine. Sometimes, women who are upset about something are said to be "whiny". So

बच्चाहरु रोएको। कहिलेकाहीं, महिला जो दुखी छन् केहि बारेमा "whiny" हुन भने छन्। त्यसैले

we don't really say that men whine. That's probably a bit sexist. But, yeah. The point

हामी साँच्चै मानिसहरू रोएको भनेर भन्न छैन। त्यो हो शायद एक बिट sexist। तर, हाँ। बिन्दु

is they sound the same but are spelled differently. So I've sometimes heard people try to make

तिनीहरूले नै ध्वनि तर फरक रुपले उच्चारण छ। त्यसैले म कहिले काँही मान्छे बनाउन प्रयास सुनेको

the "wh" sound like "hwhine" or something like that or in these words, "which" and "witch"

को "Wh" ध्वनि "hwhine" वा केही जस्तै जस्तै वा यी शब्दहरू, "जो" र "चुडैल" मा

are the same. Some people might say "hwhich". And that used to be a feature of British English.

एउटै छन्। केही मानिसहरू "hwhich" भन्न सक्छ। र कि ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी को सुविधा हुन प्रयोग।

If you listen to some speakers of British English from a long time ago, like around

तपाईं ब्रिटिश केही वक्ता सुन्न भने लामो समय पहिले देखि, वरिपरि जस्तै अंग्रेजी

the 1920s -- T. S. Eliot, although he wasn't British, he did acquire a really strange British

उहाँले थिएन हुनत टीएस Eliot, - को 1920 ब्रिटिश उहाँले एक साँच्चै अनौठो ब्रिटिश प्राप्त गरे

accent. And when he spoke English, he would make the "hwhich" sound. And that was a standard

उच्चारण। र उहाँले अंग्रेजी कुरा गर्दा, त्यो बनाउन हुनेछ को "hwhich" ध्वनि। र एक मानक थियो

feature of the accent then. But if you say it now, it just sounds a bit weird. So don't

त्यसपछि उच्चारण को सुविधा। तर यदि तपाईं भन्न यसलाई अब, यो सिर्फ एक बिट अनौठो सुनिन्छ। त्यसैले छैन

be making the "hwh" sound.

को "HWH" ध्वनि बनाउन हुन।

And here, two commonly spoken words with that "hwh" sound that you shouldn't say -- so you

र यहाँ, दुई सामान्यतः बोली कि शब्दहरू "HWH" ध्वनि तपाईं भन्न हुँदैन भनेर - तपाईं त

should say "what" without "hwhat, hwhat, hwhat do you want?" That would be awful. And "hwhere"

गर्नुपर्छ बिना "hwhat, hwhat, hwhat" के "भन्न तपाईं चाहनुहुन्छ? "त्यो भयानक हुनेछ। अनि" hwhere "

-- don't say that. Just say it without the H sound.

- भन्न छैन। बस भन्न को एच ध्वनि बिना यो।

Let's take a look at the pronunciation of -ing word endings. So in just relaxed, informal

गरेको -ing को उच्चारण मा एक हेरौं शव्दहरुलाई। त्यसैले बस, तनावमुक्त अनौपचारिक मा

speech, I feel that a lot of dialects don't pronounce the G. So it would be like this.

बोली, म बोलियों को धेरै छैन भन्ने महसुस को जी उच्चारण त्यसैले यो जस्तै हुनेछ।

"I was listening to some music." You don't hear the G there. But if we're making an effort

"म केही संगीत सुन्ने थियो।" तपाईं सुन्न छैन त्यहाँ जी। तर यदि हामी एउटा प्रयास बनाउन छौं

to speak properly and with very good enunciation, you would hear the G slightly. It would sound

धेरै राम्रो enunciation राम्ररी र बोल्न, तपाईं अलिकति पनि जी सुन्न थियो। यो आवाज थियो

like this, "I was listening to a wonderful lecture yesterday." And you hear my G. It's

यो जस्तै, "म एउटा अचम्मको कुरा सुनेर थियो हिजो व्याख्यान। "अनि तिमी मेरो जी यो हो सुन्न

very soft, but it's there.

धेरै नरम, तर यो त्यहाँ।

Something to say about British English pronunciation is -- again, this is a north-south difference

ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी उच्चारण बारेमा भन्न केही छ - फेरि, यो एक उत्तर-दक्षिण फरक छ

-- is that they, up there, some of the accents ring the G, so it's, like, "listening, speaking.

- तिनीहरूले अप त्यहाँ छ, महत्तव केही जस्तै, हो त, जी रिङ ", सुन्न बोल्ने।

I was speaking to him." And if that's a feature of your accent, that's a feature of your accent.

म उहाँलाई बताइरहेका थिए। "अनि त्यो सुविधा छ भने आफ्नो उच्चारण को, कि आफ्नो उच्चारण एक सुविधा छ।

But in standard English, you don't ring it. You don't make an extra "guh" or "juh" sound

तर मानक अंग्रेजी मा, तपाईं बज्न छैन। तपाईं अतिरिक्त "guh" वा "juh" ध्वनि बनाउन छैन

at the end. So the standard way to make the G sound, "reading." But I'm just letting you

अन्त्यमा। त्यसैले जी बनाउन मानक तरिका , ध्वनि "पढाइ।" तर म त तिमी दिँदै छु

know that in relaxed and informal speech, many times, we don't hear the G.

भनेर थाहा तनावमुक्त र अनौपचारिक बोलीमा, धेरै पटक, हामी जी सुन्न छैन

So when we come back we'll look at the other four rules

त्यसैले हामी फिर्ता आउन गर्दा गर्नेछौं अन्य चार नियमहरू हेर्न

or tips -- tips, really. Tips and observations about pronunciation.

या सुझाव - सुझाव, साँच्चै। सुझाव र उच्चारण बारेमा अवलोकन।

Tip No. 5, when we're saying a word with two or more syllables, very often, the second

टिप न 5, हामी दुई शब्द भन्दै गर्दा वा बढी शब्दांशहरू, अक्सर, दोस्रो

syllable is not stressed, and it's what we call a "schwa". So even though all these words

syllable छैन जोड छ, र यो के हामी एक "Schwa" कल। त्यसैले पनि यी सबै शब्द हुनत

have a different spelling for the second syllable, they become a schwa. So what some people do

दोस्रो syllable लागि फरक हिज्जे छ, तिनीहरूले एक Schwa हुन्छन्। त्यसैले केही मानिसहरू के

is they'll say the word. And a good example is this word. They will say "En-gland". But

तिनीहरूले शब्द भन्न छौँ छ। र राम्रो उदाहरण यो शब्द छ। तिनीहरूले "एन-ग्रंथि" भन्न हुनेछ। तर

actually, it sounds like this "England". So the vowel changes to a schwa, and then, it's

वास्तवमा, यो जस्तै यो "इङ्गल्याण्ड" सुनिन्छ। त्यसैले को स्वर एक Schwa लागि परिवर्तन र त्यसपछि, यो हो

-- another way to look at it is it becomes a softer sound. So let's say some of the words.

- यो हेर्न अर्को तरिका यो एक बन्दछ छ नरम ध्वनि। त्यसैले गरेको शब्दहरू केही भन्न दिनुहोस्।

"London", not "Lon-don". "London, England, together", not "togeth-er". "Together". "Button",

"लन्डन", "लन्डन" छैन। "लन्डन, इङ्गल्याण्ड, सँगै ", छैन" सँगै "।" सँगै "।" बटन ",

not "butt-on". "Button". "Cousin".

छैन "बट-मा"। "टांक"। "चचेरा"।

So that's the schwa, and supposedly the most common sound in the English language, and

भनेर Schwa, र सबै भन्दा मानिन्छ छ को अंग्रेजी भाषामा साधारण ध्वनि, र

it's a pretty confusing sound as well because it's always spelled in different ways, and

यसलाई साथै किनभने एक राम्रो भ्रामक ध्वनि छ यसलाई सधैं फरक तरिकामा spelled गर्नुपर्छ, र

it doesn't actually sound exactly the same when it moves around into different words.

यो वास्तवमा बिल्कुल नै ध्वनि छैन जब यो फरक शब्द मा वरिपरि उत्प्रेरित गर्छ।

So not an easy one to get familiar with. So the main thing to take away from it is that

त्यसैले एउटा सजिलो संग परिचित प्राप्त गर्न। त्यसैले यो छ टाढा लिन मुख्य कुरा

don't put that very big stress on all your syllables in the word. It won't sound right.

सबै मा धेरै ठूलो तनाव राख्नु छैन आफ्नो शब्द मा शब्दांशहरू। यसलाई सही ध्वनि छैन।

No. 6, tip No. 6, British English is a non-rhotic accent. This is the sound /r/. In your language,

न 6, टिप न 6, ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी एक गैर-rhotic छ उच्चारण। यो ध्वनि / आर / छ। आफ्नो भाषा मा,

maybe you do that thing where you roll your tongue which I can't do. I just -- I so can't

शायद तपाईं कहाँ रोल भनेर कुरा गर्न आफ्नो जिब्रो म के गर्न सक्छन् जो छैन। बस म - म त सक्दैन

do it. So like how I can't do that sound, you might find it really hard to make that

गर। म ध्वनि गर्न सक्नुहुन्न कसरी जस्तै त, तपाईं यसलाई साँच्चै गाह्रो कि बनाउन फेला सक्छ

sound without rolling your tongue. Okay. It's hard. Pronunciation is not easy. But you can

ध्वनि आफ्नो जिब्रो रोलिङ बिना। ल। यो हो हार्ड। उच्चारण सजिलो छैन। तर तपाईं

always work at something and train yourself. So when we make the R sound, the position

सधैं केही काम र तालिम आफैलाई। त्यसैले हामी आर ध्वनि गर्दा, स्थिति

of the tongue is quite far back in the throat. R, R, R. And it doesn't have that rhotic sound.

जिब्रोको एकदम टाढा फिर्ता घाँटी छ। आर, आर, आर अनि यो कि rhotic ध्वनि छैन।

And in some dialects, for example, in Scottish, you do hear it. So I'm going to say this sentence

र केही बोलियों, उदाहरणका लागि, स्कटिश मा, के तपाईं यसलाई सुन्न गर्छन्। त्यसैले म यो वाक्य भन्न लागिरहेको छु

in a Scottish accent, "The murderer wore red." Sorry, Scottish people. But they put the R

एक स्कटिश उच्चारण मा, "द हत्यारा रातो लगाउँथे।" माफ गर्नुहोस्, स्कटिश मान्छे। तर तिनीहरूले आर राख्न

sound in. I kind of did it then. Maybe I can do it after all. But in my accent, I would

मा आवाज। म प्रकारको यो त गरे। शायद म सक्छन् सबै पछि यो के। तर मेरो उच्चारण मा, मैले गर्थे

say, "the murderer wore red." So we don't roll our tongues. And that's something -- if

"। यस हत्यारा रातो लगाएका" भन्न त्यसैले हामी के हाम्रो भाषामा रोल। र छ केहि - यदि

you want to speak standard British English, you could work on that R if you do it. So

तपाईं मानक ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी बोल्न चाहन्छु, तपाईं यसलाई के भने तपाईं आर मा काम गर्न सक्छ। त्यसैले

if you're Arabic or if you're Spanish, Italian as well, you could work on that sound.

तपाईं अरबी हुनुहुन्छ वा तपाईं स्पेनिश हुनुहुन्छ भने, इटालियन यदि साथै, तपाईँले ध्वनि मा काम गर्न सक्छ।

No. 7, now. So this is a hard sound. I'm going to have to be honest with you. It's a hard

न 7, अब। त्यसैले यो एक कठिन ध्वनि छ। म जाँदै छु तपाईं इमानदार हुन छ। यो एक कठिन छ

sound for me because I'm a Londoner, and I'm from South London, and we're not very -- we

म एक Londoner छु किनभने मेरो लागि ध्वनि, र म छु दक्षिण लन्डन बाट, र हामी धेरै छौं - हामी

don't like this sound very much. We like to replace it with an F sound. I'm not too bad

यो ध्वनि धेरै रुचि छैन। हामी मन गर्न एक फा ध्वनि यसलाई प्रतिस्थापन गर्नुहोस्। म पनि खराब छैन

making this sound at the beginning of a word, "three", "thought", "think". But sometimes,

शब्द को सुरुमा यो ध्वनि बनाउन, "तीन", "लाग्यो", "लाग्छ।" तर कहिलेकाही,

it's quite hard for me, like in this word. I want to say "birfday" with an F, but it

यो शब्द जस्तै, मेरो लागि एकदम कठिन छ। म संग एक फा "birfday" भन्न चाहनुहुन्छ, तर यो

should be "birthday". It's really hard for me. But it's not just hard for me; it's hard

"जन्मदिन" हुनुपर्छ। यसको लागि कडा साँच्चै हो मलाई। तर यो मेरो लागि बस कठिन छैन; गाह्रो छ

for people all over the world. Maybe we should just get rid of this sound. We don't need

सबै दुनिया भर मान्छे को लागि। शायद हामीले गर्नुपर्छ बस यो ध्वनि को हटाउनु। हामी आवश्यक छैन

it anymore. Some people replace it with D. I've got an Italian student who replaces it

यसलाई अब। केही मानिसहरू डी यसलाई प्रतिस्थापन म यसलाई प्रतिस्थापन गर्ने एक इटालियन विद्यार्थी भयो

with D. So he would say "dirty dree". That's not an Italian restaurant, but -- restaurant?

डी संग त्यसैले उहाँले "फोहोर dree" भन्नुहुन्छ। त्यो हो छैन एक इटालियन रेस्टुरेन्ट, तर - रेस्टुरेन्ट?

Italian restaurant? Why am I thinking about food? It's not an Italian accent. Because

इटालियन रेस्टुरेन्ट? म किन बारेमा सोच्दै छु खाना? यो एक इटालियन उच्चारण छैन। किनभने

he can't say "th", he replaces it with /d/. But other people might replace it with /v/

उहाँले "औं", उहाँले यो / घ / संग प्रतिस्थापन भन्न सक्दैन। तर अन्य मानिसहरू / V यसलाई प्रतिस्थापन गर्न सक्छ /

as well. So a tip for making the "th" sound, you put your tongue between your teeth. And

साथै। त्यसैले "औं" ध्वनि बनाउन को लागि एक टिप, तपाईं आफ्नो दाँत बीच आफ्नो जिब्रो राखे। र

it's a kind of whisly sound without the /f/. Your lip is more pursed at the top. So you

यो / च / बिना whisly ध्वनि एक प्रकारको छ। आफ्नो ओठ थप माथि pursed छ। तपाईं त

don't want to do that when you're making the "th". Just try it. I'll say the words for

तपाईं बनाउन गर्दा त्यसो गर्न चाहँदैनन् "औं"। बस यो प्रयास गर्नुहोस्। म शब्दहरू भन्न छौँ

you. "Three", "thumbs" -- thumbs up if you can make that sound -- "birthday", "thought",

तपाईं। "तीन", "औंठी" - औंठी माथि भने तपाईं कि ध्वनि बनाउन - "जन्मदिन", "लाग्यो",

"think", "bath". It's hard for me. I'm trying. I'm trying with you. We're learning together today.

"लाग्छ", "स्नान"। यो मेरो लागि कठिन छ। म प्रयास गर्दै छु। म छु तपाईं संग प्रयास। आज हामी सँगै सिक्दै हुनुहुन्छ।

And rule No. 8, "can't". Oh, that's meant to have that there. A lot of people get confused

र नियम न 8, "सक्दैन"। ओह, कि गर्न चाहनुभएको गर्नुपर्छ त्यहाँ छ। मान्छे को एक धेरै भ्रमित प्राप्त

because sometimes they think, "Did you say a negative there, or did you say the positive?"

किनभने कहिलेकाहीं तिनीहरूले लाग्छ, "तपाईं एक गर्नुभयो त्यहाँ नकारात्मक वा तपाईं सकारात्मक भन्नुभयो? "

They get really confused. In British English, we don't always say the T. We don't always

तिनीहरू साँच्चै भ्रमित प्राप्त। ब्रिटिश अंग्रेजी, हामी सधैं भन्नुहुन्न को टी हामी सधैं के

pronounce the T in this word "can't". So it might sound like this, "I can't understand

"सक्दैन" यो शब्द मा टी उच्चारण। त्यसैले यो यो जस्तै आवाज हुन सक्छ, "म बुझ्न सक्दैन

you." But it might also sound like this, "I can understand you." And when I said it the

तपाईं। म "तर यो पनि यो जस्तै, ध्वनि सक्छ" तपाईं बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ। "अनि म जब भन्नुभयो यो

second way, you didn't hear the T. And the reason that happens is speech just become

दोस्रो तरिका, तपाईं टी अनि सुन्न थिएन कि हुन्छ बोली बस बन्न छ कारण

as little bit more fluid, a little bit more easy to say without the T. But you don't need

रूपमा थोडा थप तरल पदार्थ, थोडा थप को टी बिना भन्न सजिलो गर्न तर तपाईं आवश्यक छैन

to be confused because, actually, the opposite of "can't" is "can". And /caen/ is a different

भ्रमित हुन किनभने, वास्तवमा, विपरीत को "गर्न सक्दैन" "गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ" छ। र / कैन / फरक छ

vowel. It's /ae/, whereas this vowel is /a/. So they would sound completely different.

स्वर। यो स्वर / एक / छ जबकि यो / AE / छ। त्यसैले तिनीहरू पूर्ण बिभिन्न ध्वनि थियो।

It would be, "I can't understand you." Very different to "I can't understand you" or "I

यो हुनेछ "म बुझ्न सक्दैन।" धेरै "म तपाईंलाई बुझ्न सक्दैन" वा "म फरक

can understand you." So when you're listening out for that negative sometimes, know that

तपाईं बुझ्न सक्नुहुन्छ। "त्यसैले तपाईं सुनिरहेका छौं गर्दा कहिलेकाहीं कि नकारात्मक लागि बाहिर, थाहा

we might say it with or without a T.

हामी यसलाई भन्न सक्छ वा टी बिना
