Kako znamo koristiti ‘voiced’ ili ‘unvoiced’ -th u engleskom?
Postoji mala tajna koja će vam pomoći da prepoznate dva ‘th’ zvuka. Sve ovisi KOJIM slovom zamjenjujete zvukove.
Voiced
“mother” je tim zvukovima zamijenjena govornicima slavenskog jezika:
D – mu-der
Unvoiced
“moth” or “bath” je tim zvukovima zamijenjena govornicima slavenskog jezika:
F – mof , baf
Tajna je u tome:
- voiced ‘th’ = D
- unvoiced ‘th’ = F

rima: voiced -th
Whether the weather is cold,
Or whether the weather is hot,
We’ll weather the weather,
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.
rima: unvoiced -th
With or without you I think,
I would thoughtfully go for a drink,
To think with thrill,
Or thoroughly sink,
with or without you I think.
Čitanje: Voiced -th
Even though my father is a weatherman, he can’t predict with absolute certainty whether it will rain or not. Neither can the other people who work with him. They say there’s only a thirty percent chance of rain, and the next thing you know, it’s pouring. They predict snow, and there’s nothing for another five days. Then, there’s a blizzard. So rather than trust my father’s weather forecasts, I use a more reasonable approach. I ask my mother.

If you think you’re safe from thievery, think again. Most thefts occur within three miles of the victim’s home. People often venture into the streets without giving their valuables a second thought. They leave things out in the open, where thieves can easily spot them. Items worth thousands of dollars can be stolen in a tenth of a second. So be thoughtful. Only you can thwart this terrible crime. Watch your things carefully. Thieves do.
