It’s more like meh-meh, our vowels don’t have additional sounds.

For more accurate pronunciation you can think of Spanish vowels as if they had an ‘h’ at the end.

Ah

Eh

Ih

Oh

Uh

Adding the H to some of these letters wouldn’t give the right sound for native english speakers. I would transcribe these vowels using american english like so:

A = ah : rhymes with ma

E = ay : rhymes with hey

I = ee : rhymes with tree

O = oh : rhymes with blow

U = oo : rhymes with shoe

It looks like there might be a slight misunderstanding, “e” is pronounced as the e in “metal”, “test”, “wrench”.

We do not use a different sound for it, and it does not rhyme with hey at all :D

I think the only one that could be tricky would be the “uh” since it could be confused with the interjection “uhhh”, but as you mentioned, it is indeed pronounced as “oo”.

Why do y’all anglophones enjoy making language more complicated than it needs to be? Does it bring you joy to provoke suffering to the world?

Nah, it just distracts from the self-loathing.

I heard a dude pronounce meme ‘mee mee’ once like 10 years ago, and that created a core memory for me for some reason.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

  • Wait at least 2 months before reposting
  • No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
  • Use NSFW marking accordingly

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

  • Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
  • Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
  • Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan
