Where/how might I find a good pronunciation reference that would cover this construct/use?
English equivalents not necessary; I don't mind picking the appropriate tidbit out of a fragment of speech in a video for example.
I could just as easily stare at an IPA pronunciation for a bit too.
- wodenokoto 6y agoI thought finding a source with pronunciation would be easy, but it was surprisingly difficult, and I kinda gave up finding a source appropriate for English speakers. The name “My” is not unheard of in danish and we also have a word “my”, for very small measures, with the same pronunciation. It should be close enough the the Swedish pronunciation for your purpose. Here is an entry in a danish dictionary. Click the yellow speaker for pronunciation: https://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=My&tab=for https://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=My&tab=for
- exikyut 6y agoThanks very much for taking the time, and for the reference. To my ears that sounds like a subtle cross between classical "e" as in present-tense "read" and "i" as in "pin" or "Linux". Hrm, now to start saying "MeSQL" and seeing what happens...
