minus-squareSatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoNot if your lips just touch lightly in the middle and the air flows around the sides. Maybe it’s a regional thing, but that’s also how I say that sound.
minus-squareagent_flounder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoCould be regional yeah. Interesting!
minus-squareSatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoYeah - I mean, I can say an f-word like “fountain” without lowering my upper lip and (to my ears at least) it sounds almost the same if not identical, but I have to do it consciously and it feels unnatural.
minus-squareSiethron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoYou don’t purse the lips together, they’re lightly touching allowing air to go through

minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down1·9 months agoThey’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…

minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agojust like in “We” You don’t pronounce “we” as “double ue” do you?
minus-squareBradleyUffner@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoIt doesn’t say “no opening”, it just says “lips touch”. My lips can touch without completely closing.
minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agook but for “we” the opening is large enough for them to not touch at all
minus-squareharmsy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·9 months agoBruh what are you smoking? My lips don’t touch for W. They don’t even move half the time.

Instead of W, you mean
Sometimes

They’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…
well it only touches at the B sound and we already had B so…
How else is it pronounced?
as a phoneme, it’s a bilabial approximant - meaning the lips form the sound by moving close but not touching and then parting again
compare to the palatal approixmant /y/ formed by the root of the tongue performing a similar action with the soft palate.
