The following are some examples of English words that begin with the letter v. The alphabets, 'v and v in the square brackets, represent the starting IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet 國際音標) of the corresponding words:
vacant ['v...]
vaccine ['v...]
vamp [v...]
vapour ['v...]
vertical ['v...]
very ['v...]
venom ['v...]
vent [v...]
violet ['v...]
vibrate [v...]
violence ['v...]
visibility ['v...]
voice [v...]
volcano [v...]
voltage [v...]
vulnerable ['v...]
vulture ['v...]
We know that different English words with the same starting alphabet may have different starting pronounciations and IPA. For example, alphabet c.....
camp [k...]
ceiling [s...]
chase [t...]
city [s...]
When we speak of these words with v, some of them begin with "v" (eg. vapour) pronounciation while some others begin with "f" (eg. ventilation). For some of them, however, quite many of people around us in daily life are not so clear whether their pronounciations should begin with "v" or "f" (eg. very) The starting IPA for the word "very" indicates that this word should, precisely, be spoken as "v"ery, but we usually hear "f"ery instead. Therefore:
For the aforesaid English words with the starting alphabet v, which one(s) should begin with pronounciation "v" and which one(s) should begin with "f"?
......and WHY?
sometime when you pronounce a word is not just look at the beginning wordlike your example camp you won't break it like c-amp right?so people SoRa1218 - [Enquiry] Pronounciation of words that begin with alphabet "v"
sometime when you pronounce a word is not just look at the beginning word
like your example camp you won't break it like c-amp right?
so people pronounce it with cam-p so it sounds k
for your question i think you mean when those words start at v pronounce as f?
as i see all the v-words come with "a.e.i.o.u" after the v
and i don;t see any letters beside aeiou that will go behind "v"~
for very ~ i have a professor from england ,he speak very as "wher-ly"
but most of the canadian speak as fary
so i think it is just different pronunciation
but i don't know am i right or not ~ just from my knowledge

Certainly, when you pronounce a word as a whole, you will not just look at the first alphabet, but my concern here is how to begin the pronounciation of those aforesaid words......If my memory serves, I think I did watch an English-teaching TV programme, run by our famous English speaker in Hong Kong, Lau Ka Kit, very long time ago, in which the word "very" was pronounced like whery, not fery.......I do believe that quite a lot of non-native English-speakers, including us, may have left this little phonetic mistake unattended.
If somebody is to tell me that, for ALL the English words with v as the first alphabet, their prononciations have to begin with a "v" sound rather than a "f" sound, then they will have to explain why the alphabet v in words such as "cover" or " eleven" give a "f" sound - these v, in the middle of the words, share the same IPA with those being the first alphabet, but I have never heard of "elewen" before......

out of topic for a little: lmao :37: , dude... a lot people can vibrate their tongue to speak with passion but people don't "vibrate" their lower lips for communication purposes (people do that only if they are too cold ...)
back to topic: Don't think too much, and let me give you some simple guilds
- for words that starts with "f," your lower lip should not touch your upper front teeth to make that "f" sound.
- for words that starts with "v," begin to pronounce it when your upper front teeth is right on your lower lips
hope that helps :171:
