shibo77 Posted July 2, 2004 at 04:14 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 at 04:14 PM Interesting, are you planning to move there, because there are only 5 million of them around... one probably will never meet one in one's entire life... This is the site: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/danish.htm tidlig, tilføg There are three "i"s. The tid-lig are 2 syllables. The til-føg are 2 syllables. "til-" and "tid-" syllables are both consonant-vowel-consonant, and the middle vowel should be short. As in English "bit", IPA . They are the same. The "-lig" syllable is strange because "-ig" is suppose to be one unit, so pronounced as English "fine", IPA [ai], I think... I don't have a dictionary, but I would guess the pronunciation would be: tidlig [tið·lai] tilføg [til·f^] ^ is an inverted "v" as in English "up" I am probably wrong... If you are learning at at 外语学院 the Foreign Language Institute, you can pick up a dictionary there and check. Or maybe at any university which teaches the language, they should have it in IPA. -Shibo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hWnd Posted August 10, 2004 at 11:03 AM Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 at 11:03 AM I'm not studying in a "外语学院"now, but the pronunciation of "i" in "tidlig [tið·lai]" doesn't seem to be identical to the IPA you presented, according to the way a Danish pronounces... It's somehow close to the sound "i" in Chinese "ci4(次)"([ts] is EXCLUDED), and the soft "d" seems to be always pronounced "i", as in Chinese "ci4(次)". According to a Danish friend the word "tidlig" is pronounced as "[tI:·li]",supposing the be for "i" in Chinese "ci". Anyway the Danish letter "J,j" is pronounced as "[joI]" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
