Any #Russians here on #nostr I have a question that’s probably super simple for you but I can’t for the life of me under what sound ы is supposed to make. I’ve been seeing the word вы around and I’m not sure how that would be pronounced with ы on the end of it.

Could it be like this (press speaker)? https://translate.google.com/?sl=ru&tl=en&text=%D1%8B%20is%20supposed%20to%20make.%20I%E2%80%99ve%20been%20seeing%20the%20word%20%D0%B2%D1%8B%20around%20and%20I%E2%80%99m%20not%20sure%20how%20that%20would%20be%20pronounced%20with%20%D1%8B%20on%20the%20end%20of%20it.%20%20&op=translate
I don’t want to be super reliant on translation softwares because they are known to make mistakes

Cyrillic is wild alll together. What I do know is: Ы is pronunced /ɨ/ ("roses", or polish "y") is used if and only if it follows a hard consonant and wiki sound bit of ɨ :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_central_unrounded_vowel best of luck...
What have I gotten myself into 🫠
Thanks for the zap btw 🤙
That's true, before he comes back lol he'll be back

Found a lady who’ll explain it better then me, but basically it’s an “E” that is pronounced in a more rough and brutal way 😂 https://youtu.be/w9hogVBFECQ Ы is nothing by the way — we’ve got two letters that don’t have a sound at all 🤣: Ь is used when you want to make the consonant softer while Ъ is for making it sound rougher. 🤯 Also #[2] is studying Russian now, so he might have some hints for you in terms of best studying materials.

Hmm … imagine the word bit … ы is similar to the i. You speak it almost without the i … „a lil bt“

I don’t think it similar bro 🤔
That’s really hard to explain because there’s no such sound in English/German/French, not even close. The only crazy thing I can think of is: Try to say „y“ like in „veryyyyyy“ but then imagine that all your front teeth are missing 😂🤣
I am not a russian 😅
me neither 😂 but it’s one of my native tongues 😂
Maybe we could make a russian learning nostrnest 😅
Given all the interest in the topic 😂

This is a fun conversation. I took 6 months of casual russian back in like 2008/9 but I still remember how to pronounce that. When making the sound, I kinds feel like I'm half swallowing the sound 🤣 I'm glad to see you found some good explanations for it.
