港式英文問句語調《蕭愷一 Daily English》(24/3/10)

[ivantide]

I used to have a classmate who's from Britain, The West End to be specific. She talked funny and I tried hard not to laugh at her. Her voice went down at the end of the sentence, so a question would sound like a statement.

hamBURger is US Chinatown English

[hkkhnyc]

Seriously?

[hkkhnyc]

since I've been livin' in NY, I speak American Eng.

For the last example, "would you like a hamburger", isn't it sound like "..'d like a ham BURger"?

What I'm saying is that, usually I'd only speak the words LIKE and BURGER (not HAMburger) clearly, the others, WOULD YOU, A, HAM-, I'll make it very short and people can barely hear the "exact" word.

My question is, the bass sound should be put at HAM or BUR? (as I said, the HAM-sound is very short, ie. I don't hear the Americans say HAM-burger.)

@hkkhnyc thanks for the input mate. i think the intonation depends on how you stress the word hamburger. if you normally say HAMburger, the tone starts to rise at the HAM syllable; but if you're used to saying hamBURger, the rising tone starts at BUR instead.

[write2warriors]

you don't hear Americans say HAMburger because they mostly use burger instead.
