  • I haven`t had such a deep explanation on the schwa even at the institute. I appreciate the comparison of schwa with the meaningful sounds. Schwa becomes clearer for for me. Is it right to make a comparison degree of "clear" adding "-er" and thus making "clearer"?

    This flat is your home in Spain now? The flat with pictures and the icon.

    Oh, and thanks for an eye-opener.

  • @inyazserg

    clear clearer clearest

    are all OK

    Yes, I live in Spain.

    The icon was painted by my father.

  • Spectacular!! There is a question, could you say if 'cold John' is an old fashion way to mean schwa?

  • @MsGaughin

    cold John is not a phrase I have heard,

    but I understand exactly what you mean by the metaphor... so yes you could say it.

    the word Schwa is of Hebrew origin
