it's that schwa sound at the end and i
7:24
got this question the other day on
7:25
instagram somebody said to me elliot do
7:27
british people say
7:28
dessert or do they say pudding to be
7:31
honest you can say either
7:33
there are kind of backgrounds and
7:35
traditions as to you know you'd say
7:37
pudding about this type of food but
7:39
you'd say dessert about this type of
7:41
food
7:42
if you want my complete honesty i don't
7:44
say pudding
7:45
i just say dessert i'd say what's for
7:47
dessert i wouldn't say what's
7:49
what's for pudding or what pudding do we
7:51
have i call it dessert but in in modern
7:54
english it's really fine just to say
7:56
either so just pick the one you like the
7:57
sound of the most really now another
7:59
good one
7:59
is when we want to check everybody is
8:02
finished now we could say is everybody
8:03
finished
8:04
okay or you can just say the word
8:08
finished but we don't just say
8:09
finished because that sounds like i'm
8:12
just telling my listener that
8:13
i have finished finished instead we need
8:17
to say
8:18
finished finished finished
8:22
okay so this intonation this kind of
8:25
rising intonation it shows that we're
8:28
asking a question
8:29
okay so you can see how we can change
8:30
the meaning of a word
8:32
by changing the intonation finished
8:35
and this
it's that schwa sound at the end and i got this question the other day on instagram somebody said to me elliot do british people say dessert or do they say pudding to be honest...
