> like the homophones b and v
They aren't :) where are you from? do you pronounce "vaso" and "baso" in the same way? (in Argentina and Spain at least they are clearly distinct)
- gordaco 4y agoIn most of Spain they sound exactly the same. I have met a total of one single person who pronounced them differently. Maybe it depends on the region. I'm from Málaga, by the way.
- pera 4y agoI stand corrected! I have visited Catalonia quite a few times and never noticed they being homophones. In Argentina, or at least in Buenos Aires, they even teach you in primary school to pronounce the v using your upper teeth and lower lips (it makes it sound closer to f), and the b only with both lips. I'm very surprised to learn this, can't imagine pronouncing vacaciones as bacaciones hahah that's amazing, I wonder where this difference comes from.
