pronunciation???
|
hello!
I need your help.
I was reading and I was startled at this sentence:
"Philippe? Don �t you mean Philip? He sure didn �t seem French to me."
I �m sure here - in France - we wouldn �t pronounce these 2 first names differently...
but do you???
thanks!

In France, we wouldn �t, but in England they would!
Philippe would be pronounced like the girl �s name: "Philippa"
Edit: Yes Anita and Johanne you�re right (fi:li:p@) I don�t know how to do the reversed "e" we use in phonetics!!

Perhaps the first one refers to /fI �li:p/ and the second one to / �fIlIp/ (sorry, don �t know how to use pronunciation symboly here) |

Yes, those names are pronounced differently :)
Phillip sounds like fill-lip (not leep like in Philippe) |

I agree with Anitarobi, French is my mother tongue and the slight difference is only in pronunciation of the vowels :
Philip as opposed to �Pheeleep � (the French way).

Hello,
Philip /fɪlɪp/
Philippa / fɪl ɪpə/
Philippe / fɪ liːp/ - Fr (fi lip)
BTW, @Mariethe House to make the inverted e (schwa) and the different IPA symbols I use this
