#13 Duck face Y (how to pronounce the letter Y + exercises) [pronunciation] [uttale]

Send us Fan MailThe letter Y in Norwegian requires precise lip positioning. Mastering this sound prevents embarrassing mistakes like saying "to drool" when you meant "to ride a bike." If yiu don't master "u" yet, you might want to start with episode 11 first. • Y pronunciation requires vertical lip opening rather than horizontal (no smiling!). • The "duck face technique" helps position lips correctly for authentic Y sounds. • Try holding a pen between your upper lip and nose for proper lip positioning. • Long Y examples: yte (to contribute), yr (eager/rain), by (to bid/city/town), sky (cloud). • Short Y examples: yrke (profession), yste (to make cheese), idyll (idyllic situation). • Short vowels generally open the mouth (jaws) more than long vowels.  Beginner tip: Practice moving between I, U and Y sounds regularly, focusing on lip movement while keeping tongue position stable.Bonus: Here's the song I talked about (Idyll). Support the showDo you like the podcast? :)Feel free to buy me a coffee :) buymeacoffee.com/thenorwegianpuzzle  ....This podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Youtube, Deezer and Podcast Addict. ....Transcript available here: https://the-norwegian-puzzle.buzzsprout.com....Questions?
