Funny, i haven't ever heard that filtering into English. Not much different from - awright? - awright! though.. Where in the Midlands are...
Just wondering... For foreigners it seems peculiar that in Czech the word order is the same for questions as for remarks: - Je to správný? (Is...
Mr Java, what are you on about??...
Generally, I'm sure you're right. I have the same impression. Though, it'll be very hard to prove since people speak in an individual tempo which...
To be fair, it is a lot harder to pronounce than street. I used to find it hard to pronounce too. You'll just have to practice, practice and...
But one more vowel. :wink: :wink:
I suppose I was insinuating that most people might not care about what ř is as long they can pronounce it... I'm quite sure your prof is wrong, he...
I think we agreed to call ř a trilled fricative. Retroflex sounds are sounds like the d and t in Indian English, with the tongue bent slightly...
Well, i haven't ever heard it in spoken English (or Scots)...
:lol: 'Terminus' isn't used in British English either. Obviously it's due to bad translation, but why complain, everybody understands! And,...

You're probably thinking of Danish and some dialects of British English where [ʔð] and [ʔk] occurs. Perhaps you (or anyone else who has a clue)...
hmm, i'll have too read all earlier posts in this thread, but i suppose you know that the Czech ř /ɼ/ was originally (in the middle ages) a...
Groups of young men are far more likely to get into trouble than loners. I've taken loads of interesting photos at night in Prague and Brno, not...
The only thing i can make of it is: decide a ... Czech spelling of English words is quite popular, mítink (meeting), etc
Okay. First I thought you meant that Czech words after preposition were always post-glottalised. I seems what you mean is that a consonant...
Ooops! I'm sorry, i was thinking too much about glottal stops and typed it as its written!.. :oops: :oops: Of course it should be: v parku...

Separate names with a comma.
