    Hi All,

    Sorry Me Tike Post Karanna Bariunata...Wadidenage Illema Nisa Menna Pronounciation Gana....

    Lesson 5 : Pronunciation guidelines (International French ) PART 1



    5.1 Single vowels


    • a
      • Pronunciation: like the first "a" in "marmalade" or in "heart", but just a little bit less open.
      • Examples: table (table), sac (bag), chat (cat), rat (rat), baggage (luggage), sa (his/her), bras (arm), matin (morning).
      • Similar sounds: â (more open than a)
    • e
      • Pronunciation: like the indefinite article "a" in English with a sharper sound, or like the second a in "marmalade".
      • Examples: cheveu (hair), deux (two), second [segon] (second), oeuvre (work, as in master works), soeur (sister), heure (hour), beurre (butter).
      • Similar sounds: "eu" and "oeu". The latter one is more open than e and eu.
    • i
      • Pronunciation: like the English "ee" but shorter.
      • Examples: pipe (pipe), minute (minute), courir (to run), midi (midday), nid (nest).
    • o
      • Pronunciation: two different sounds:
        1. an open "o" more or less as the English "more" and "for"
        2. a closed one like the English "go" and "low"
      • Most of the times the "o" in French is open. It is closed when located at the end of the word. Note that the difference between open and closed "o" is not as stressed as it is in English between the words "open" and "control".
      • Examples:
        1. Open o: botte (boot), grotte (cave), développer (to develop), homme (man)
        2. Closed o: vélo (bicycle), indigo (indigo)
      • Similar sounds: (to a closed o): "au", "eau", "ô". Examples: eau (water), auto (car), contrôle (control).
    • u
      • Pronunciation: the French sound for "u" does not exist in English. While in most languages "u" is pronounced like the u in "bush", in French it differs dramatically. The French "u" is exactly the same sound as the German "ü". As we're going to see later, the sound "u" as the English "bush" exists in French as well, but it is formed by the vowel combination "ou".
      • Examples: voiture (car), minute, humain (human).
    • y
      • Pronunciation: pronounced the same way as a double French "i".
      • Examples: noyer [noi-ier] (to drown), rayer [rai-ier] (to scratch), loyer [loi-ier] (lease), pays [pai-i] (country).

    Notes


    1. In most cases, the final e in a word is not pronounced. Examples : bouche [bouch'] (mouth), jambe [jamb'] (leg), lampe [lamp'] (lamp).
    2. When followed by a doubled consonant (l, t, p, r, m, n), e is pronounced like the English -ay as in "say", "bay", but without the glide towards i and more open. In French, this sound is referred to as "è" (e with a grave accent). Examples : pelle [pèl'] (shovel), mettre [mèttr'] (to put), lettre (letter), terre [tèr'] (land).
