AOU vowels are made with your tonque low. ÄÖY vowels are made with your tonque high. Mixing vowels from both groups makes tonque movements very awkward and slows down speech.
- thaumasiotes 4y ago> AOU vowels are made with your tonque low. ÄÖY vowels are made with your tonque high. Quite the opposite; /u/ is a high vowel, /o/ is mid-high, and /a/ is low. AOU vowels, assuming the Finnish orthography is anything like the rest of Europe, are made with your tongue pulled back, while ÄÖY are made with your tongue thrust forward.
- hypertele-Xii 4y agoThat's what I mean, tonque movement. Tonque stays still inside the group. High/forward low/back.
