minus-squarecybervseas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·4 days agoBy the argument, is the w in “two” actually silent? What would it sounds like when pronounced? I think it would sound like “two” already does.
minus-squarecannedtuna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·4 days agoIt would sound like “twu” as in “twu wuv”
minus-squareweew@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down2·4 days agoIt sounds exactly like “to” which means the w is silent. It is not pronounced at all like any of the other example words given.
