Do men/man and bitch/beach sound the same to you? I am kinda confused here, these words have distinct meanings and sounds.

- lucasoshiro 1y ago> Do men/man and bitch/beach sound the same to you? Not exactly the same, but I differentiate them more based on the context than in the pronunciation. Giving an example for Portuguese that has about the same difference: "roupa de lá" (clothes from there) and "roupa de lã" (wool clothes). If you write them in Google Translate or similar you'll see the difference, which is very subtle for non-Portuguese speakers but sounds completely different to us.
- tiagod 1y agoPortuguese has a ton of such examples. "O meu canto" can mean "My corner" and "My singing". "Conselho" means "advice" and "Concelho" means "council". "Aço" means steel, and "Asso" means "I roast". All of these pairs sound exactly the same.
