the "t" in jetnu and a go'i question

the "t" in jetnu and a go'i question

lukebergen · 2010-02-03 00:14 UTC · Tiki post #9459

First question:

I was practicing my lojban the other day when I realized that sometimes I pronounce the "t" as kind of a short stop in the vowel before. A good word for describing this is "jetnu". Is this acceptable? http://www.filedropper.com/jetnu1_1 Or am I being a lazy english speaker and should really say it like: http://www.filedropper.com/jetnu2

Second question: I think I've asked this before but I don't remember ever getting a consistent answer. If I say {mi klama ta .i go'i fe lo zarci} is it believed that I am going to "there which is a store" or "there and also a store (separate things)" or "a store (the {ta} has been replaced by {lo zarci})"? Or is it something else entirely.


Also, if anyone knows off hand of a better site for dropping small files on

the web I'd love to hear about it.

sance on jbotcan

also, I have no idea how you'd say jetnu without an unfinalised t.

That brings up a web page, and I don't see where to download the file. I think it is acceptable to do this: 1. say [e] 2. make a dental stop 3. open the back of the nose, keeping the teeth stopped 4. open the tongue at the teeth 5. say [u]. If you release the [t] before starting the [n], that's okay too, but if you release the [b] before starting the [m], you may be misheard as "jubyme".

"ta" has been replaced by "lo zarci". The two sentences together are equivalent to "mi klama ta .i mi klama lo zarci". ("fe" in the second sentence has no effect.)

oops, I forgot about sance on jbotcan. I'll go upload the files there. I

don't know enough about IPA/speech to know if the 5 step process that you gave, Pierre, is what I'm doing. I'll continue this discussion on jbotcan/sance here: http://jbotcan.org/sance/res/30.html

Sounds fine to me.

I hear "jetsnu" for this one.

According to CLL, the [t] sound is "an unvoiced dental/alveolar stop". As

with much else in the language, anything unspecified is precisely that: unspecified. So, I think it's okay unless I missed something.
