minus-squareSiethron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoMy front lip is over my teeth when I say it, and it is touching the bottom lip.

minus-squareagent_flounder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoThat would interrupt airflow would it not?
minus-squareSiethron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoYou don’t purse the lips together, they’re lightly touching allowing air to go through
minus-squareSatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoNot if your lips just touch lightly in the middle and the air flows around the sides. Maybe it’s a regional thing, but that’s also how I say that sound.
minus-squareagent_flounder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoCould be regional yeah. Interesting!
minus-squareSatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoYeah - I mean, I can say an f-word like “fountain” without lowering my upper lip and (to my ears at least) it sounds almost the same if not identical, but I have to do it consciously and it feels unnatural.

minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down1·11 months agoThey’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…
minus-squarefunkless_eck@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·11 months agoas a phoneme, it’s a bilabial approximant - meaning the lips form the sound by moving close but not touching and then parting again compare to the palatal approixmant /y/ formed by the root of the tongue performing a similar action with the soft palate.
minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agojust like in “We” You don’t pronounce “we” as “double ue” do you?
minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-211 months agowell it only touches at the B sound and we already had B so…
minus-squareBradleyUffner@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoIt doesn’t say “no opening”, it just says “lips touch”. My lips can touch without completely closing.
minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agook but for “we” the opening is large enough for them to not touch at all
minus-squareharmsy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·11 months agoBruh what are you smoking? My lips don’t touch for W. They don’t even move half the time.

Y
Instead of W, you mean
Sometimes
W still leaves an opening tho
They’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…
How else is it pronounced?
as a phoneme, it’s a bilabial approximant - meaning the lips form the sound by moving close but not touching and then parting again
compare to the palatal approixmant /y/ formed by the root of the tongue performing a similar action with the soft palate.
just like in “We”
You don’t pronounce “we” as “double ue” do you?

well it only touches at the B sound and we already had B so…

ok but for “we” the opening is large enough for them to not touch at all
Bruh what are you smoking? My lips don’t touch for W. They don’t even move half the time.
