pronunciation
1.How is the "w" in Taiwan pronounced in spanish.
Is it like "v" as in van or "b" as in bee. 2.Also I have a confusion with the "v" in spanish. Is it always pronounced as "b"? Is volver pronounced as "bol-ber"?Sometimes I notice the "v" in spanish pronounced as "v" as in van. |
Yes, the B in Spanish sound like to the V, only que these word're used in distinct sentences, for example:
Volver. Ok Bolver. Bad Bolber. Bad Vaca. This word's ok. But, Baca. This word's bad although sounds same boths. Beso. This word's ok. Veso. This word's bad. Becerro. ok Vecerro. Bad Visera. Ok Bisera. Bad. Viseversa. Ok Biseversa. Bad. Volovan. Ok Bolovan. This word's ok in only a pet name, but still so, the word of this formt is bad. Bestia. Ok Vestia. Bad These're some examples, all these words sounds same, but it doesn't write same. Regards. |

The w, used in loanwords and foreign terms, is pronounced like the 'oo' in boot, so it sounds like the English w. |

BTW, "w" has got its own phoneme in Spanish, /w/, which is said to be "uau". It's a semivowel or semiconsonant sound (depending on the phonetic context) really important in the evolution of the language. Nowadays, it's pronounced, as Rusty said, in loanwords and foreign terms: /w/ (IPA, AFI). |

In some dialects (in Spanish), the w at the beginning of a word sounds like gu. water = guáter.
