I'm not a native english speaker, though I think I'm fluent speaking it... all of this to say that despite the sound being very similar, my lips movement differs between "det" and "debt":
It my sound stupid, but when I say "det" my lips tend to remain bit open, when I say "debt" the word ends with my lips closed ahaha
I doubt it makes any noticeable diference, and it's probably due to my native language influence.
- jdavis703 5y agoI’m a native English speaker and I can feel there’s a slightly different muscle I’m using to pronounce debt vs det. It certainly feels physiologically different to pronounce it. But then, I actually can’t really here any aural difference.
- libertine 5y agoSo it would boil down to visual perception of those who are listening to us, if that subtle difference helps in comprehension.
- gamerDude 5y agoAlso native English speaker. I find the I am breathing out on the e in debt but not det. So it gives a slightly longer and softer e. But hardly noticable and I thought I would say it the same before analyzing my words.
