Talk:Ukrainian/Alphabet

 Ч is always mild. No, it's not.

Conside the word ЧИ. The letter И cannot be used after a soft vowel, therefore it's hard.

''И - there is no exact match in English(English does not have this sound, therefore this is the hardest sound to pronounce); the closest way to pronounce it would be like y in myth. The 'i' in 'big' is also an approximation.(Sounds exactly like Russian sound Ы)''

Complete and utter rubbish. The Ukrainian sound is ɪ and the Russian sound is ɨ. In fact, myth and bit have almost the exact pronunciation of the Ukrainian sound, but not the Russian sound.

Also, how the hell do you expect people to pronounce words when you don't even give the position of the stress? Are they supposed to guess? Use an online dictionary and then pronounce them?

I'm going to have to fix this one later. -Iopq 12:34, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
