Re: [wanabidii] English Pronunciation

Kehancha,

This is a tough one and I have to admit that I've never really thought about it. I believe people generally use them interchangeably.  Even a dictionary does not help in establishing the difference. The thing with me is that I feel English rather than analyze it technically.

I will check with some friend of mine here but at my level, I can tell you this:

Each Other  ----  Is a very general term that can apply to any number of people (more than 1).

For example:  Somalis have been killing each other since 1989.

One Another ---  This generally applies when you're talking about 2 people.

For example:         Warsama and Kuria are busy undermining one another .

We can also say:   Warsama and Kuria are busy undermining each other

In my opinion, Each Other can be used in almost every place where One Another applies

but One Another is very specific to when talking about only 2 people.

Let me get the opinion of a real language professor and get back to you though.

Courage

Oggetto: [wanabidii] English Pronunciation

My daughter just caught me in a mispronunciation of a very common word. By the way, my daughter is very pedantic about these things. It's avery simple word and one that no one ever thinks about but it symbolizes how difficult itis to learn to speak English. English pronunciation has no formula and each word is memorized independently of the others.

Here we go:

REBEL  (to go against the rules)
If you're using it as a verb

It is pronounced as R-I-B-E-L  

Fro example:  The kids must never rebel (RIBEL)against the teachers

But if used as a noun, the pronunciation changes.

REBEL  now becomes  R-E-B-O-L    (One who goes against the rules)

For example: Papa Likondi is the only rebel (REBOL) in that group dog sellers.

As for REBELLION

It is pronounced as  R-E-B-E-L-I-O-N

I don't know why those started this language made things this complicated !!!!

These are the reasons I hated English all throughout my childhood, and to this day.

Anyway, I hope this helps those who were curious to confirm.

Courage
