minus-squareSatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year 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-up2·1 year agoCould be regional yeah. Interesting!
minus-squareSatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year 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-up2·1 year agoYou don’t purse the lips together, they’re lightly touching allowing air to go through

minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down1·1 year agoThey’re probably pronouncing it as “Double-U”…

minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agojust like in “We” You don’t pronounce “we” as “double ue” do you?
minus-squareBradleyUffner@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoIt doesn’t say “no opening”, it just says “lips touch”. My lips can touch without completely closing.
minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agook but for “we” the opening is large enough for them to not touch at all
minus-squareharmsy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoBruh what are you smoking? My lips don’t touch for W. They don’t even move half the time.

Y
Instead of W, you mean
Sometimes
W still leaves an opening tho
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.
