How to speak Canadian,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Many people might think that Canadian and American English,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], particularly as spoken near the border, are virtually identical but a careful ear will detect a number of differences. Most of these differences are in pronunciation but sometimes in vocabulary as well.
For most Canadians, the last letter of the alphabet is pronounced "zed", not "zee". "Sneakers are often called runners or running shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a coffee with two creams and two sugars is a double-double, a restroom is often called a washroom and the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink is called a garburetor. These are a few examples of vocabulary that is characteristic of Canadian English.
Another famous word that is associated with Canadian English is the interjection "eh". It can be used to ask a question or to seek confirmation. For example, "She's coming tomorrow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], eh?" has rising intonation at the end and is a yes-no question. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "She's coming tomorrow, eh" is a statement which asks for confirmation on the part of the listener.
With the exception of certain speakers in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Canadians pronounce every "r". With many Americans, though,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this is not the case. In words such as "northerner", "governor" and "southerner",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many Americans fail to pronounce the first "r" and some also drop the second "r". Also, Canadians tend to pronounce the "t" more than their American neighbours. For example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I pronounce every "t" in the word "continental" but many Americans do not.
Most Canadians pronounce every word identically in the sentence "Marry merry Mary" as opposed to other English speakers who maintain one or two distinctions. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for the majority of Canadians, words such as "cot" and "caught" as well as "horse" and "hoarse" are identical.
In the words "sorry", "sorrow", "tomorrow" and "borrow",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Canadians use the "o" of "old" before the "r". Americans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on the other hands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], use the "a" of "part". This is a notable difference between the two varieties of English.
Listen carefully to the pronunciation of words such as "plaza",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "pasta" and "pecan". Most Canadians pronounce the "a" in these words the same as in "hat" while many othe English speakers use the "a" in "father". Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many Canadians use the British pronunciations of words such as "herb" with the "h" pronounced, "fertile" to rhyme with while and "process" in which the first syllable is pronounced "pro", the same as the word which is short for professional.相关的主题文章:
