Except there are no words in Spanish that end with a rolled r.
- maw 18y agoNot quite true. If a word ends in an r and the speaker is thinking about what to say next, he may in fact roll the r. Think about this sentence: "Estuvimos allí por... un rato." Often it'd be punctuated with ellipses, but in some sense it might be better written "Estuvimos allí porr un rato."
- riahi 18y agoAlso, a lot of native spanish speakers pronounce all initial r's as rolled r's.
- tordek 18y agoThat's the way spanish is pronounced. Radio is "Rradio". I've found amusing how some people who learn english as a second language end up pronouncing spanish as "espanish", since no spanish word begis with s(consonant), except for sh.
- euccastro 18y ago"A lot" meaning all of them, because that's the norm.
- tordek 18y agoArgentinian here... and I'd usually extend the o, not the r, so "Estuvimos allí poor un rato."
- euccastro 18y agoI've heard quite my share of Spanish and never happened upon that. Rather, people would extend the r without rolling it. And in any event, that wouldn't mean there are words in Spanish with rolled final r's, which is what was being discussed, just that people might pronounce a word that way.
- akd 18y agononsense.
