Ok, if "cut" and "nut" are using "ɐ" could you give an example of an english word that uses the schwa that we say lojban "y" sounds like? I was under the impression that "ɐ" (whatever that is) is what the lojban "y" sounds like.god-damnit ivo, just when I think I have the lojban pronounciation figured out you go and throw it all in to doubt for me.For the record, my lojban vowels are as follows:a -> the "a" in english "father"e -> the "e" in english "bet"i - > the "ee" in english "beet"o -> the "oa" in english "boat"u -> the "oo" in english "root"y -> the "u" in english "butter", "nut", "cut", "rut", "gutter", and the "o" in "mother" and "love".If these aren't proper lojban pronunciations, please correct me.--On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 12:17 AM, Ivo Doko <ivo.doko@gmail.com> wrote:
If you pronounce "cut" and "nut" like this

and this

respectively, then you're not pronouncing them like {kyt} and {nyt}
([kət] and [nət]), but more like {kat} and {nat} ([kɐt] and [nɐt]
(international IPA)). If you're not pronouncing them similarly to how
they're pronounced in those recordings then I would be most grateful
if one of you could record him-/herself pronouncing either "cut" or
"nut" or both and upload the recording somewhere so that I can hear
your pronunciation.
