"curly" and "early"
Does "curly" rhyme with "early" for you. The two don't rhyme for me.
"curly" = /k3`@li/ "early" = /3`li/
Sometimes. Curly can be [kr=li] or [kr=@li], but early is always [r=li]. But I'd say normally curly would be [kr=li]
For me always as well; "curly" : ["k_hR=:L\i:] and "early" : ["R=:L\i:].
Come to think of it, I probably wouldn't ever said "curly" as [kr=@li]. So, yes, they rhyme.
Does anyone say early with 3 syllables?
I say /k3`li/ and /3`li/ respectively, which means they always rhyme perfectly.
<<Come to think of it, I probably wouldn't ever said "curly" as [kr=@li]. So, yes, they rhyme.
Does anyone say early with 3 syllables?>> "early" always has two syllables for me. The reason is that "curly" is "curl" + "-y" whereas the word "early" has no relation to the word "earl". Come to think about it, in fast speech "curly" might rhyme with "early", but in careful or emphatic speech I pronounce it with three syllables [kr=@li].
I`m an American, & they don`t quite rhyme for me.
"Curly" is kinda like "cur-uul-ly". "Early" is like "er-ly". Hope that helps. |
