how to pronounce kiu?

I give you examples of words to practice pronunciation. If you haven't already, I suggest you read my entry with Pronunciation Rules in English, which I published a few days ago, and I propose more practice with words that follow the same rule. I advise you to keep repeating the words until you have a perfect pronunciation.

To know how to pronounce the words, you will need to look at the rules that I mentioned.

Words ending in -ture are referred to as -ture.

The name is pronounced /tr/. Examples:

Words that end in "able" are able. The wordable is pronounced /bl/.

Words that end in -aje are pronounced /d/.

And in my Premium Zone you can practice this topic, since there are several lessons in the Spelling course dedicated to the letters C, Z, Q and K. In this private area of ​​the website there are 5 online courses with the key aspects of Spanish : Grammar, Verbs, Vocabulary, Spelling and, Read and Understand, with more than 200 lessons in total with more than 155 videos, 90 audios, 300 downloadable PDFs, 600 exercises and games with solutions, etc.

If you want to know how the rest of the letters are pronounced in Spanish, you can find all my free spelling and pronunciation resources on this page.

The consonant C is pronounced in 2 different ways in Spanish: it corresponds to the sound /Ɵ/ before the vowels E – I (matchstick, one hundred) and, with the sound /k/ before A – O – U (house, car, square), before the consonant: L or R (class, skull) and at the end of the syllable (bloc).

The first sound of C: //, whether it is before any vowels or at the end of the syllable, is always pronounced Z.

The soft 'ce' sound is made by placing the tongue between the upper and lower teeth, leaving a small space for air to escape.

In most of Spain, the sound of CE, CI and Z is only pronounced as S, while in the Canary Islands and Latin America it's called S.

The second sound of C: /k/ is always pronounced Q and K. The Q is only used in Spanish before the vowels E and I, which have no sound. The K in Spanish only appears in words of Greek or foreign origin, and it is very unusual.

The back of the tongue is placed at the back of the palate to prevent air from escaping and the vocal cords from being vibrated.

You can see in the video how the phonemes are pronounced, with many examples so that you understand it better.

It is difficult to know which of the 4 letters is the one written in Spanish. Below I explain the spelling rules for C, Z, Q and K.

The sound at the beginning of the syllable is written with Z before the vowels A and O, but it is written with C before the vowels E and I. It's usually written with the ZA,CE, CI, ZO and ZU.

Z is written at the end of the sound and words. To maintain the sound, the Z becomes C in the form of the words "happy" and "happiness", in its derivatives and diminutives.

For its part, the sound /k/ at the beginning of the syllable is written with C before the vowels A – O – U (street, car), but it is written with Q before the vowels E – I, always with a 'U ' in the middle that it is mute, that is, it has no sound (tank, fifteen). It is usually written with the words CA, QUE, QUI, CO andCU.

It is written with C before the letter L or R. This sound is at the end of the word.

The Spanish orthography does not include words of foreign origin, so the K is very unusual.

In the Spelling Course in my Premium Zone you can find 3 lessons with several exercises each to practice writing the vowels Z, C, K and Q, as well as PDF supplementary materials. The main rules of spelling in Spanish are explained in more than 25 lessons in this course, so that you know how to write in this language.

In this video you can see more of the explanation.

The alternation between the consonants C, Z and Q before different vowels causes numerous spelling changes in verbs with infinitives with the consonants C, Z or Q in the last syllable, that is, with the endings -zar, -car, - quir, -cer and -cir.

The aim of these changes is to keep the sound in the infinitive.

The player throws the ball, but the endings of the vowels A and O are written with C. I.

The teacher explains the lesson, but the endings with the vowels are written with QU, which is different than the infinitive ending in -car. I explained what happened.

And in verbs with an infinitive ending in -quir, all verbal forms that end in syllables with the vowels E – I are written with QU (The thief offended for the fourth time), but the endings with the vowels A – are written with C. Or (It is wrong that he offends).

Finally, in verbs with an infinitive ending in -cer or -cir, all verb forms that end in syllables with the vowels E – I are written with C (The Romans defeated many enemies), but endings with Z are written with the vowels A – O (I defeat my enemies)

There are some discrepancies in verbs with an infinitive ending in a vowel. They follow the rule of do, cook, and all their derivatives, in which the vowels A and O are written with Z.

The C is not changed to a Z in the rest of the verbs, but a Z is added in front of the endings that begin with the vowels A and O.

If you want to learn more about the differences between these vowels, you can find 3 lessons on the subject in the Spelling Course in my Premium Zone, with several exercises in each one.

In this video you can see more of the explanation.

We are going to end the review of the spelling rules with advanced level questions.

First of all, regarding the letter Z, in the previous posts we saw that it is normally only used in Spanish before the vowels A – O – U. But there are a few words that are written with Z before E – I. This only happens with the name of this letter (the zeta), with names of countries and their derivatives (New Zealand), and with some words of foreign origin that have not been adapted to the Spanish script (zigzag, Nazi). .

Some words can be written with C and Z before the vowels.

ki- is arogative and relative correlation of individuals.

kiu is a singular form of kiun.

kiu is an accusative singular kiun.

kiu can be combined with ajn, a particle of generality.

Kiu ajn means whoever.
