I don't understand how English spelling works. 20:48:58 it doesn't, mostly 20:49:31 the "a" in "finale" is definitely an "ar" sound even though that's inconsistent with every other spelling rule I know 20:50:12 I'm more bothered by the /i:/ 20:50:16 but they're correlated 20:50:53 ah yes, you're right 20:51:21 wait, I'm wrong 20:51:26 I gave the wrong pronunciation 20:53:54 the dictionary says /fI"na:li/ (Br), /fI"n{li/ (Am) 20:53:58 that still doesn't make sense 20:54:02 but in a different way 20:55:15 where /i/ in this dictionary is an abbreviation meaning it's pronounced as either /i:/ or /I/ depending on the dialect 20:55:29 and typically /i:/ in american 20:56:01 so it doesn't make much sense to use it when there are separate british and american pronunciations give, but that's still what the dictionary says 20:56:34 The spelling is largely independent from the pronunciation, at least as far as vowels are concerned. 20:56:37 at least if the stress is on the second syllable, that explains why the first syllable has /I/ 20:56:52 lol thought I was in ##english for a sec 20:56:56 let me check if my Oxford dict gives a pronunciation 20:57:16 Bowserinator: here we mostly laugh at English rather than trying to justify it :-) 20:57:18 Bowserinator: nah, that channel rarely talks about English 20:57:24 Actually, is English a stressful language? :-P 20:57:37 not really 20:57:54 int-e: they told me it is supposed to be one 20:58:02 english speakers are lazy, you don't need to move your mouth that much 20:58:12 although for some reason if you're slightly off they won't understand you. 20:59:34 int-e: there are a few places in English where the meaning of a word changes depending on stress 20:59:38 "refuse", for example 20:59:50 although it's hard to construct a sentence in which both meanings work 20:59:55 the oxford dictionary says /fI"nA:li/ or /fI"nA:leI/ which is strange 21:00:10 wait, "refuse"? really? 21:00:22 ais523, iirc in those situations, a stress on the last syllable is a verb, on the first syllable a noun 21:00:26 Taneb: indeed 21:00:27 wob_jonas, as a noun it means trash 21:00:30 Freeze. 21:00:32 that's why it's hard to work it into a sentence 21:00:38 Taneb: right, but how does the stress change? 21:00:47 REfuse 21:01:00 I know there are a few words where the stress changes 21:01:10 wob_jonas: REF-yuse is the noun, ree-FYUSE is the verb 21:01:11 but I didn't know "refuse" is one of them 21:01:27 strangely enough, the first e is short when stressed and long when nonstressed 21:02:02 Fuses > * 21:02:31 * moonythedwarf is making a gravity based 2d esolang that, if minimized, is reversable 21:02:36 I guess "to refuse" could mean "to replace the fuse in" 21:02:47 moonythedwarf: is it uncomputable? 21:02:50 * wob_jonas checks the dictionary 21:02:59 ais523: That would fit. 21:03:07 ais523, it's said that the easiest way to tell the difference between a plumber and a scientist is to ask them to pronounce unionise 21:03:17 Taneb: :-) 21:03:35 but the scientists more commonly use "deionise" I think, unless both words exist with different meanings 21:03:52 Possibly it was "unionised" 21:04:04 besides, the stress is in the same place in both words 21:04:08 just the syllable boundaries are different 21:04:14 * APic thought of „unionized“ first. 21:04:20 s/zed/ze/ 21:04:34 un-i - on -ise versus un - i-on - ise 21:04:43 actually the syllable boundaries are the same too, but the syllable /spacing/ is different? 21:04:49 it says "refuse" as a verb is /rI"fju:z/, which is how I'd pronounce it too, and "refuse" as a noun is /"rEfju:s/. it's strange that they differ; either pronunciation would make sense separately, but together they don't. 21:04:49 what sort of language is this?! 21:05:06 ,o0(Ion Laser) 21:05:39 wob_jonas: how do you pronounce infinite and finite? 21:05:42 Strangely my Dictionaries only have that one in English-Croatian FreeDict 21:05:49 int-e: I do know those differ 21:05:52 Not in the other English-Foo-Dictionaries i have installed 21:05:57 int-e, I pronounce finite deliberately incorrectly 21:05:59 („ion laser“) 21:06:05 it's on my list, together with cycle - bicycle, and sign - signal 21:06:39 (definite and infinite rhyme, finite rhymes with I knight) 21:06:46 Taneb: how? do you change both syllables to match "infinite" or just one of them, and if so which? 21:07:03 ais523, to match infinite 21:07:22 so "finite" is /"faI.naIt/ and "infinite" is /"InfInIt/ or /"InfIn@t/ I think 21:07:31 Taneb: also definite and infinite don't rhyme, it's a tertiary rhyme so you need to match the last two syllables and the vowel and trailing consonants of the third-last 21:07:43 whereas the vowel in the third-last syllable doesn't match there 21:07:48 they are pretty lose though 21:07:49 *close 21:07:54 ais523: "unionise" is four syllables? I'd have said it as three syllables 21:07:55 ...I would use them in a poem 21:08:24 wob_jonas: the "io" is kind-of dubious as a dipthong 21:08:31 something like /"jUnj,@,naIz/ 21:08:44 you can try to pronounce it as one but the syllable gap's audible pretty much however fast you try 21:09:10 ais523: no, there's no diphtong because I pronunce it with a /nj/ consonant 21:09:18 ais523, I sometimes pronounce the plumber's way was yoonyunise 21:09:34 wob_jonas: isn't that English "ng"? or am I confusing it with something else? 21:09:40 maybe it's rather /"jU,nj@,naIz/ 21:09:48 "ungeonise" isn't how the word's pronounced at all 21:10:03 In German i would separate „unionize“ as „un-i-o-nize“ probably ;=P 21:10:05 ais523, phonetic j is a consonant y I think 21:10:33 -!- Phantom_Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds). 21:10:37 Taneb: "ny" isn't possible without a syllable boundary in English I think 21:10:45 as a consonant 21:10:54 ais523, that might depend on your dialect 21:10:58 it's possible in Russian (e.g. "nyet"), but I don't think we use that sound in English 21:11:04 ais523: new? 21:11:18 int-e: actually, I'll buy that 21:11:24 not quite identical but close enough 21:11:27 It would actually be interesting to let a Program create the german Separation for „unionize“ 21:11:28 can you do it at the end of a syllable? 21:11:47 I'm wondering if "new" has the y sound at the start of the vowel rather than the end of the consonant 21:12:03 I mean, "ew" has a y sound too 21:12:05 ais523: I don't think it's "ng", but maybe. /nj/ is actually /J/ or /ɲ/, a palatal nasal. some English speakers (including me) pronunce it in "new" and "news" 21:12:14 which implies that it's part of the vowel 21:12:27 though more than half of the English speakers pronounce "new" with just an /n/ instead 21:12:32 "ewe" and "you" famously have the same pronunciation 21:12:50 wob_jonas: I think I pronounce "new" as "n" followed by "you" 21:12:51 I'd suggest nuclear, but that would only make matters worse. 21:13:15 ais523: how do you pronounce "during"? 21:13:21 ais523, ...my mouth feels different saying ewe and you but they sound the same 21:13:22 and "Tuesday"? 21:13:29 -!- DHeadshot has joined. 21:13:38 I think there's another word with "n" too, but I can't remember 21:13:52 wob_jonas: "during" has a dipthong or maybe tripthong on the u for me 21:13:58 oh right, "revenue" 21:14:06 ee - oo - ur 21:14:32 "revenue" ends in "new" for me 21:14:56 yes, I expect "revenue" to end in "new" for most people 21:15:50 ais523, I either pronounce during like you do or with a like dj consonant at the beginning and just a oo-ur or maybe just an ur 21:16:18 (I have a bizarre accent at times) 21:16:32 actually, I think I've come to a conclusion: consonant y doesn't exist in my accent 21:16:42 * APic is installing „texlive“ 21:16:45 it's just a different vowel from vowel y (which is a long i in most accents) 21:16:45 (I blame my Dutch Australian/not quite Geordie heritage) 21:17:00 ais523: can't we say it's a semi-vowel or glide? 21:17:42 I can buy glide 21:17:54 it's notably different from semi-vowels like l or n though 21:17:56 ais523: so you don't pronounce a consonant in "your" or "yes" or "York" or "yawn"? 21:18:18 or in "mayonaise"? 21:18:24 @@ 21:18:25 wait, how do they spell "mayonaise" in English? 21:18:27 - 21:18:29 o 1 21:18:30 wob_jonas: all of those are vowel transitions 21:18:31 @Hello92+4*84*World92+3*\ . 21:18:31 Unknown command, try @list 21:18:31 mayonnaise I think, not sure though 21:18:33 \ @ 21:18:35 $? 21:18:37 ~ 21:18:39 thats the Hello, World! program 21:18:39 mayonnaise, yes 21:18:49 and it doesn't even have a y sound in it 21:19:04 ok, forget mayonnaise then 21:20:14 derp replace the o with a ' 21:20:20 ais523: anyway, I think it is possible for an English dialect to actually not have a y consonant, only a semi-vowel 21:20:52 a semivowel is something that you can hold indefinitely despite not being a traditional vowel 21:21:06 * APic is installing texlive-lang-german 21:21:06 Narf 21:21:11 That one took me long to figure out ☺ 21:21:12 I don't think you can hold a consonantal-y 21:22:25 ais523: no, a semivowel is a vowel that doesn't make a whole syllable, but is next to a vowel and forms a glide with it. if you hold the same sound long, then it's not a semi-vowel, but a vowel. that's not a problem, many words can be pronounced either with a vowel or a semi-vowel. 21:23:11 so how would you react to nonwords like "plllfft" which are pronounceable despite not having any vowels? 21:23:29 English tends not to use such words but that's not for any particular reason AFAIK 21:24:07 ais523: I don't know, because I don't speak czech, so I can't pronounce those. 21:24:37 but they say that in some languages, the "r" and the "l" can be syllable nucleuses, and that in some English dialects too 21:24:44 not in my dialect though 21:24:55 wob_jonas: it's simply a physical matter of pronounciation mechanics, not a dialect thing 21:25:02 it's physically possible to prolong an l or an f indefinitely 21:25:05 like it is with vowels 21:25:09 just the letters aren't normally used like that 21:25:27 there are a few English words that use the principle, but mostly onomatopoeia like "mmm" 21:25:43 ais523: it is a dialect thing, because I don't pronunce it in any English word, but some people do in some English words 21:26:02 so I don't see why it wouldn't be a dialect thing 21:26:07 unio-ni-ze 21:26:11 lol 21:26:14 Very Fail 21:26:27 some languages require that in some words, namely at least croatian and czech, both of which are infamous of vowel-less tongue-twisters 21:26:29 But what do i expect using a Hyphenator for the wrong Language? ☺ 21:26:54 APic: that hyphenation does look right 21:27:00 wob_jonas: it's merely a fact of the phoneme in question 21:27:03 that it can be prolonged 21:27:09 wait wait 21:27:11 this is independent of what words it does or doesn't appear in 21:27:12 unio-ni-ze? 21:27:14 that's wrong 21:27:16 Yes. 21:27:21 sorry 21:27:23 ☺ 21:29:16 I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable hyphenating the plumber version of that word anywhere 21:29:30 (the scientist version hyphenates quite neatly after un-) 21:29:36 which one is the plumber version? 21:29:42 If I was going to hyphenate the plumber version it'd have to be union-ize 21:29:43 and the scientist version? 21:30:57 wob_jonas: plumber is "unionize" as in "create au nion" 21:31:21 scientist is "un-ionize" as in "remove ions from" (although "deionize", "reduce ions in", is more idiomatic, probably because you can't physically get all of them) 21:31:29 * create a union 21:31:31 oh! 21:31:42 -!- Kaynato has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds). 21:31:58 so by scientist one, you mean the chemical science one, not the mathematics one 21:32:12 yes 21:32:21 and how are these pronounced? 21:32:56 no surprises if you can pronounce "ion" and "union" 21:34:41 well, I said the "plumbers'" one is /"jU,nj@,naIz/, but that's probably wrong, it is more likely /"ju:,nj@,naIz/ (I'll check the dictionary later), 21:35:25 and iirc "ion" is pronounced as /"ai,@n/, like iron, but I could be wrong, so it would be /Vn,"ai,@,naIz/ 21:35:41 let me see the dictionary 21:36:54 the Longman says /"ju:nI@naIz/ 21:38:30 I'm not sure if the /I@/ is meant to be the "here" diphtongue or two syllables in that 21:38:57 -!- Kaynato has joined. 21:38:59 probably two syllables, because it gives "u-ni-on-ize" as the syllables in the spelling 21:39:40 I wish oh well, not much difference between those 21:41:58 the Oxford gives no pronunciation, and has only the plumber meaning too 21:44:10 and yes, ion is pronounced as /"aI,@n/, I remembered right 22:04:42 -!- hppavilion[1] has joined. 22:05:58 Well, 5 stages of grief are kicking in.
