Re: Words ending in -ough
La única que me interesa es la de "rollin' in dough"!
Re: Words ending in -ough
Cuáles son las 9??
Re: Words ending in -ough
Sé que "of" es una, como en "enough", no conozco las otras.
Re: Words ending in -ough
I can only think of 8
ó... as in Dough...dó
uhf... as in Enough...ynuhf
u...as in Through...thru
awf...as in Trough...trawf
au...as in Bough...bau
af...as in Laugh...laf
ahk...as in Lough...lahk
up...as in Hiccough...jicup
Anybody know what the 9th would be??
Some of the "ough" words are old English and are rarely seen except in poetry/prose. Some have become phonetic...like hiccough=hiccup and lough=loch (as in Loch Ness Monster)

Esta frase contiene las nueve:
‘A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed.’
Re: Words ending in -ough
inesp...yo veo solo 6 pronunciaciones diferentes....creo que tres tienen la misma pronunciación asi como otras en la frase. ¿Que opinas tu?
A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed
1. rough...úhf
2. dough...ó,
thoughtful...(bueno...does not end in ough pero seria igual que cough. Thawt, cawf)
3. plough...au
4. through...ú (thru)
Scarborough...(igual que dough...ó... Scarboró)
slough...ú (slu...igual que through...thru)
5 cough...awf
6. hiccough...úp
Mira, la frase no tiene palabras de "af" como laugh, ni "ahk" como lough.
Todavia no se que seria #9. Pero bueno, es cierto que words ending in ough tienen bastante pronunciaciones diferentes
