  Why would you make it a ‘th’ at the end??

    The weird ‘th’ handling of ‘c’ isn’t just a Catalan thing? Is that all of Spain? I know I’m biased as a North American, but preference for Mexican Spanish.

      that is why the Barthelona thing is so pedantic. In Catalan is pronounced more like “barsalona”

      The th pronunciation is Spanish.

      In Catalan c before e or i is pronounced like a hard s.

        Oh, thanks for the clarification!

      It’s the Spaniard pronunciation. Virtually everyone else would pronounce it as “see”.

      I have no idea about ‘c’ becoming ‘th’. I was referring to the ‘t’ at the end that the above comment made ‘the’ when breaking it down, which they have mentioned in a reply was an auto-correct error.

      The Spanish I know is not generally NA influenced.

        Ah, I guess they had fixed the autocorrect by the time I saw it.

        Apparently it is most, but not quite all, of of Spain that does the ‘th’ business: youtube.com/shorts/dxBoVaOuw4Q?is=uFdY_uC6q6AjdcD…

  Thin, not sin.

  Ro as in rod. Thin as in, well, thin. An as in ant. Te as in tent.

  source

  • Crozekiel@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    So you are saying it’s raa - thin - an - teh??

    That’s wild… I’m convinced you are not pronouncing ‘ant’ or ‘tent’ “correctly” for those to be your suggestions…

    • Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      They’re right, afaik. An as in land, te as in test.

      Hm… Ro as in Ross…? The rest is the correct pronunciation, yes.

      And I don’t know… an as in anvil and te as in tenant…? English, being several unrelated languages in a trenchcoat, can be a bit weird, and pronunciation varies excessively with dialects…

      The vowels in Castilian (aka Spanish outside of Spain and other Castilian speaking countries) are very simple, five vowels, five sounds, pronounced more or less as they would have been in Latin.

      C is pronounced like a k or a hard z, never as an s (except in some dialects).

      Rocinante. From rocín and antes, for he was a rocín (old horse) before being Quijote’s steed (also during, but the old man wasn’t all there).

    Latin American Spanish might disagree so both sin and thin pass. Book came out before the languages split after all.
