À propos de ce contenu audio
Today, let’s talk about something fun in American English: Why “winter” and “winner” often sound exactly the same.
This happens because of a sound change called the N-flap. When N + T comes between two vowel sounds, the T often disappears or becomes a soft flap - something like a quick D sound.
- winter sounds like winner
- twenty sounds like twenny
- plenty sounds like plenny
For example:
- “I don’t like winter weather.” sounds like “I don’t like winner weather.”
- “We invited twenty people.” sounds like “We invited twenny people.”
This isn’t slang - it’s just the natural rhythm of American English.
