і is pronounced as ee as in meet и is pronounced like the short i in the word hit or bit й is pronounced like a very shortened of the first two letters of the word yip - a combination of the Ukrainian letters і+и

@Рейв 🇺🇦 то виходить Г з чорточкої це Г , а просто Г це звучит як хє?

@@Prospekt1587 Г is gh (voiced h) and makes a pair with X, Ґ is g and makes a pair with К

@@user-tk2jy8xr8b дуже вдячна за пояснення:)

The funny thing is that some English dialects actually do pronounce "Bach" with a /x/ (Ach-laut). In fact, the example word for /x/ in English is "loch". Many German words with a "ch" correspond to English words with a silent "gh". Nacht - night Andacht - thought durch - through etc.

Isn't it originally [χ] Bach? A bit harshier and deeper in the throat than [x]. However, the soft [xʲ] can be heard in "Ich", right?

Sometimes i do the Bach, other times i start on debussy

h is voiceless, unlike г

Isn't this the other way round? I'd say "Г" is more forceful, as with the popcorn! Can a Ukrainian person comment on this?

X feels like rolling your Rs but for H

@@ColtonPhillips that is actually a pretty decent way of describing it. It's a very gutteral sound.

На Галичині теж є звук "г" саме звідтіль пройшло використання "г",як протитичного.Але "ґ" вони використовують більше,ніж наприклад на Слободі ,не "ґ" багато з носіїв діалекту де вимовляють. "Ґ" в слов'ян був до "г", просто "ґ" майже занепав в українській мові після асиміляції сармат ,скітів та кельтів.

Bro you might've just saved my life. "холодний" "голодний" when she says sound indetical it could be the yt compression but I'm not sure. or my speakers/headphones.

That corresponds with my intuition (I'm Polish, we just have one version of "h"). I'd say "х" is the "normal" "h" sound, the one I use in both Polish and English (perhaps incorrectly!), while "г" is produced in the glottis and it's voiced and generally "stronger" sounding. I hope a Ukrainian will comment and confirm/contradict this!

it is Ґ

The letter "Ґ" has been officially removed from the Ukrainian alphabet in the 1930s by Stalin because he didn't want Ukrainian nationalism, but it's been re-added after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

no

Залежно від вимови. Коли це сміх ha ,то не жорстке. А коли це імітація шипіння вампіра khyyyy,то жорсткий+ при шепоті "г" та "х" зливаються

Коли вимовляється "х", то язик торкається піднебіння

@@arsla5308 sorry, I don’t understand.

@@belindabackman707 I am not a native speaker nor do I speak the language, but it is my understanding that the letter 'X' is supposed to be somewhat like a rough kh, and the tongue is supposed to be towards the back part of the roof of the mouth (i.e. the soft palate in the back of the throat). The second one is supposed to be a breathy voiced 'h'. The vocal cords are loosely vibrating and there is more air than there is voice in it. But again, there are different dialects of Ukrainian, so the pronunciations might be different. I often hear the pronunciations are different even among speakers in the same country. Again, I think the X (kh) and Г (h) sound similar, but the former is more done in the upper back of the mouth, while the latter is done more toward the lower part of the throat/larynx, but the vocal cords are loosely vibrating, if that makes sense.

"X x is unlike the χ in Bach. It's best described as almost forming the k in cat, but making a fricative s sound there (like h, but constricted at the k location) . Г г is the guttural one. It's like h but voiced. Say kuh, guh; huh, Г-uh. . Ґ ґ is exactly hard G g." I found this another person comment this and I think it's much closer to the actual sounds than what was presented in the videos.

for me (as probably for most other German speaking persons): 'х' sounds in a lot of examples like in the German word Bach, 'г' like in the name 'Hans', and 'ґ ' like in German 'Gans'. For my ears 'г' doesn't sound like in 'good' at all, not even similar, whereas in Innas examples between 'cold' and 'hungry' I almost can´t hear any difference.

To me, I always thought that the letter 'x' is like a rough velar sound while the second letter, 'г', is a breathy voiced 'h', sometimes called a 'voiced h'. Neither sound is native to English, at least not here in the United States, and the h in English is typically voiceless. I am not a native speaker, but to me, for the first one, I would say it is like the word Bach, although 'x' is more commonly romanized as kh in Ukrainian. The second one is not a native sound in English, but it sounds somewhat like the h in ahead, and sometimes the h might be voiced between vowels, although it would probably be considered an allophone. By breathy voiced 'h', the vocal cords are loosely vibrating. It's more air escaping than it is the vocal cords moving. It's not really a voiced sound like you would see in other consonants. The third one, (ґ) is like the word go or get, but as far as I know, there are not many native words in Ukrainian that begin with that. That's how I understood it.

Х = English "h" sound with popcorn stuck in your throat Г = English "h" sound Ґ = English "g" sound
