What is last one? B, m, p are obvious.
V.
Your lips don't touch for V, it's your top teeth to your bottom lip. If your lips touched, it'd be B.
W
When wording worries without end. No. Didn't close even once.
I took it as meaning the names. The b in double-u has your lips touch
You're saying your Ws wrong.
wow
Ok
This is why mmm bop and mmm mmm mmm are perfect songs.
Oooonce, there was these kids who, made song called mmm bop just to ear worm you-oo
That's wrong! There are only three bilabial letters! P, M, and B. F and V are labiodental
What about W?
your lips dont touch for w
Mine do. I must be a freak of nature.
They do in American English at least
edit: I realize now you're talking about its use within words, but a lot of us here assume that the meme is referring to saying each letter individually.
Yeah but thats the b in douBleyu
Double U has a B in it which causes your lips to touch
But not in the W sound
Same with dubya or dubyou.
I don't know what that means but it reminds me of the movie Teeth.
These indicate place of articulation of the sound that come out of your mouth. It's one of 3 main ways to categorize consonants in linguistics, or more precisely in phonetics.
Bilabial consonants are made when both lips are touching for example, while labiodental consonants are made when lower lips are touching upper teeth.
W
That's labial velar approximate. We don't say "bwatermelon" just because the letter is pronounced with a B
You're right about how you would refer to each sound in use but the meme doesn't say that there are 4 bilabials
What sorcery is this knowledge you speak of?
Phonetics.
doubleyouatermelon
What? Can you say the word double without your lips touching? I can’t
