You are probably referring to the American pronunciation of �beautiful � using the kind of sound that is made in the word party. The �t� sounds like a �d � as in pardy, beaudiful--not as a normal �r� as in �run � or �t�.

In Norfolk and parts of Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, UK, it �s pronounced bootiful. Some people don �t even pronounce the "t." I know I don �t, well, outside the classroom anyway.  |

I agree with red. I don �t think anyone in the US pronounces it with an "r" sound, but most of us use a "d" sound, as red said. Bruce |

Take a look to the web FORVO where people around the word pronounce words. R is used in America, in movies or songs is always in that way. |

Actually, anuska8, I think we �re just talking about two different ways of indicating the same sound. I �m sure the R sound you �re talking about is the Spanish trilled R, which is very similar (if sounded very shortly) to the American D (which is harder than the Spanish D). Bruce

This site has a simple, clear description and examples of the �flap t �, which is the topic of this discussion thread. It also mentions the apparent �r � sound in Spanish and Polish, too. Cheers, AB |

Yanogator, the "r" in Spanish can be hard or soft deppending on the word. In fact, the hard r does not exist in English speaking countries (the double r, for instance in "perro" = dog). On the other hand, if you are American I am sure you are right according to "D" sound, although most of us hear a "R" (maybe taking into account our mother tongue).
Cheers! |
