I'd argue 'f' they don't press hard but they lightly touch

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

Bro what are you doing with your lips? "F" is top teeth on lower lip.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

What the pfuck are you pfrattling on about?

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

My front lip is over my teeth when I say it, and it is touching the bottom lip.

you can also form an /s/ with various parts of the tongue and mouth but it's generally held to be an alveolar bladal fricative.

That would interrupt airflow would it not?

[-] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Not if your lips just touch lightly in the middle and the air flows around the sides.

Maybe it’s a regional thing, but that’s also how I say that sound.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Could be regional yeah. Interesting!

[-] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah - I mean, I can say an f-word like “fountain” without lowering my upper lip and (to my ears at least) it sounds almost the same if not identical, but I have to do it consciously and it feels unnatural.

You don't purse the lips together, they're lightly touching allowing air to go through
