hello ,everyone.I don't know how to pronounce the word"frequent".for example ,frequent has different pronunciations /frɪˈkwent US frɪˈkwent, ˈfriːkwənt/ .even if using the American pronunciation, i'm not sure which one will be better.
pronunciation about some words end in "ent"or"
The adjective is pronounced /ˈfriːkwənt/, and the verb is pronounced /frɪˈkwent/ (although in American English the verb can optionally be pronounced as /ˈfriːkwənt/ as well).
Lazar,thank you very much.There is one more thing I would like to ask you about.It's about "consequence".The noun is pronounced /US ˈkaːnsi-kwens/ ,and the adjectivfe "consequent" is pronounced /ˈka:nsikwənt /.WHY is the noun(ence/e/) stronger than the adjective(ent /ˈ/)on pronunciation?
Lazar,thank you.Because recently I am trying to correct my pronunciation,I look up every word in the electronic dictionary.I don't know why they are the same.(/ ˈkaːnsi-kwens/ /ˈka:nsikwənt /) /ˈ/represents "e" upside-down. Could you explain that again?
I listened to the pronunciation for the adjective at Merriam-Webster, and it's how I pronounce it, but it gives the second vowel as a schwa, and it sounds like a short i to me.
Lazar, are you seriously saying that "consequent" and "consequence" are pronounced the same?
Lazar, are you seriously saying that "consequent" and "consequence" are pronounced the same?
In fact,the debate is focused on "quen".some dictionaries use /e/,some use /e/upside-down.I'm crazy.
