Tim's pronounciation workshop, 29- The twinning of /t/

29- The twinning of /t/

Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation workshop.

Here I'm gonna show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside.

This week, I'm going to need some help from my favourite twin. Please welcome back Tom, who's going to help me present. Hi Tom! Hi Tim! Now, are you a lover?

Or a fighter? Do you prefer to dance?

Or would you rather have an argument?

Well, let's ask the people of London.

It takes two to tango.

It takes two to tango. It takes two to tango.

It takes two to tango.

Lot of 't's in that, Tim.

Lot of 't's indeed, Tom. Five in fact. It takes two to Tango. But are all of these usually pronounced? Can you hear all of them? Listen again.

It takes two to tango.

It takes two to tango. It takes two to tango.

It takes two to tango.

You might remember from a previous video that when the sound /t/ comes in between two consonants, we don't usually pronounce it. But what happens if there's a vowel sound before the /t/? and the next word also begins with /t/? Well, in this case the two /t/ sounds join together to create one slightly stronger /t/. So 'it takes two' becomes 'it takes two'. This is an example of twinning or gemination. Here are some more examples.

It took him twenty years to get to the top.

You don't have to cheat to pass the test.

You were right to be upset.

We took the overnight train to Venice.

Right, so you've heard the examples, and now it's your turn. You know the drill. Listen and repeat. It took him twenty years to get to the top.

You don't have to cheat to pass the test.

You were right to be upset.

We took the overnight train to Venice.

Ah. No problem, you're the best Tim.

Hey, thanks, you're great too.

Ah! That was weird! What was that all about?

Hey, you started it.

No I didn't.

Yes you did.

Well, maybe a little bit. I guess that just goes to prove it takes two to tango.

There's an expression we have in English that contains the name of a dance...and means when two people get involved in a fight or argument, then in most cases both have to take some of the responsibility. ||Ausdruck||||||enthält|||||||bedeutet|||||verwickelt|||||Streit||||||||||||verantwortung |||||||||||||||means||||||||fight|||||||||||||| Anglų kalboje turime tokį posakį, kuriame yra šokio pavadinimas... ir kuris reiškia, kad kai du žmonės susipyksta ar susiginčija, dažniausiai abu turi prisiimti dalį atsakomybės.

You might remember from a previous video that when the sound /t/ comes in between two consonants, we don't usually pronounce it. Iš ankstesnio vaizdo įrašo galite prisiminti, kad kai garsas /t/ yra tarp dviejų sąskambių, paprastai jo netariame. But what happens if there's a vowel sound before the /t/? and the next word also begins with /t/? Well, in this case the two /t/ sounds join together to create one slightly stronger /t/. So 'it takes two' becomes 'it takes two'. |||||||||||||etwas|||||||||| |||||||||||||ligeramente|||||||||| This is an example of twinning or gemination.

Right, so you've heard the examples, and now it's your turn. You know the drill. Listen and repeat. Gerai, taigi pavyzdžius jau girdėjote, o dabar jūsų eilė. Jūs žinote, kaip elgtis. Klausykite ir pakartokite. It took him twenty years to get to the top. Jam prireikė dvidešimties metų, kad pasiektų viršūnę.

You don't have to cheat to pass the test. Non devi imbrogliare per superare il test. Norint išlaikyti testą, nereikia sukčiauti.

You were right to be upset. Buvote teisus būdamas nusiminęs.
