Lewk/Luck - Bewk/Buck - Cewk/erm... Cuck?

[Ben]

Yeah, I speak like Ian does.

Probably because we're southern and can therefore speak properly.

 

[Snoo]

Haha, I know, a bit of sarcasm I trying to convey maybe? :roll:

But yes, good American pronunciation, B-oo-k.

Word.

 

[jayjay]

I say uck, clearly.

I also never say gr-arse or b-arth. It sounds silly.

 

[thx]

To make it simple, I say book in the same way as Ian does.

 

[Martyn]

I have to agree with everything Ian said in his video. :lol:
It's 'ook'.

Yeah well that's just going to confuse things further isn't it. Because going by the original post, you're contradicting yourself.

Lol, I say glass and bath, not glaahhhhss and barrth. Go me.

But it's uck, not this ook rubbish.

 

[David]

Lol Ian I liked the video.

Ummm... I say "uck."

 

[Martyn]

Lol, I say glass and bath, not glaahhhhss and barrth. Go me.

Incorrect.

Say father.

I rest my case.

 

[Jake]

^ Just out of interest Martyn, how do you pronounce 'pasta'?


I say uck by the way...

 

[Martyn]

I'm sorry, has pasta got an "ath" in it? I couldn't see it!

 

[Jake]

^ Huh?

I'm guessing you pronounce 'master' as 'marster', so why not 'pasta' as 'parsta'?

Basically, i'm trying to say that there are always exceptions, whichever group you're in.

 

[Martyn]

lol, I'm winding you up Jake. You're obviously right.

...though you don't deserve an opinion because you think Duel is pronounced Jool.

 

[Hixee]

I not really sure. I think I say b-uck, but then it could also be interpreted as b-ook.

Does it matter?

 

[furie]

Yes, but a vowel before a voiceless dental non-sibilant fricative always has an extended chroneme - we use monophthongs in cases where it is followed by an alveolar plosive - though it is sometimes a slightly extended chroneme, it's not to the extent we see in the Southern accent.

I rest my case!

Does it matter?

Yes... Yes it does... :lol:

Sorry, did you say something? I've been ignoring you since that ridiculous original post! :lol:

I thought I'd try and redeem myself :lol:

 

[SaiyanHajime]

I agree with Martyn, that this entire topic makes no sense.

I do not say ook, but I definitely do not say uck. Because when I say book it doesn't sound like I'm talking about a dollar.

I say book. I just don't over pronounce the "ooooooo" sound. Same with cook.

I seem to say lewk.

I can't speak though, cuz I'm a re-taaard and put an "a" in no. As Lain well knows.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

B-uck please... Oh I'm so manly!

 

[robertw]

Damn English and its lack of a truly phonetic alphabet. Makes this very hard. Here's some nice, phonetic, Katakana:

ルック - look (same sound as good)
ル―ク - loooooooook (same sound as root)

Hope that helps.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

Like the normal way.

I guess you could say the normal way is like buck, but buck doesn't exactly sound the same as how I say book.

Great 8000th post!
