모든 건 너에게 달렸어

It's all up to you.

난 지켜볼 수 밖에 없어

I have no choice but to watch

끝이 날 건지 아닌지는

Whether to finish it or not

너의 말 한마디로 결정돼

It's all up to you now.

여태 받던 싸늘한 느낌

The coldness that I've been feeling all this time

그저 착각일지도

Maybe it's just an illusion.

여기서 알아야 갈 수 있어

We need to know from here before we can get there.

Do you even love me now

Do you even love me now

숨을 죽이고 너의 대답을 기다릴게

I'll hold my breath as I wait for your answer.

턴을 너에게 넘긴 채로

I'll leave it up to you,

만약 아니라 하더라도 말해 줘

Tell me whether it's YES or NO

Baby love me or leave me tonight

Baby, love me or leave me tonight

So 대답해 줘

So answer me.

숨김 없이 솔직하게

with all honesty

어서 대답해 줘

Tell me everything right now

Baby love me or leave me tonight

Baby love me or leave me tonight

So tell me now

So tell me now

꽤나 오랫동안 견뎠어

I've endured it for quite a while

너의 차가운 눈빛과 말투

The coldness in your eyes and words

끝을 낼 건지 아닌지는

Whether to finish it or not

이제 너에게 전부 달렸어

It's all up to you now.

이미 멀어진 우리 사이

We're already growing apart

그저 오해일지도

Maybe it's just a misunderstanding.

여기서 알아야 갈 수 있어

We need to know from here before we can get there

Do you even love me now

Do you even love me now

숨을 죽이고 너의 대답을 기다릴게

I'll hold my breath as I wait for your answer

턴을 너에게 넘긴 채로

I'll leave it up to you,

만약 아니라 하더라도 말해 줘

Tell me whether it's YES or NO

Baby love me or leave me tonight

Baby, love me or leave me tonight

So 대답해 줘

So answer me.

숨김 없이 솔직하게

with all honesty

어서 대답해 줘

Tell me everything right now

Baby love me or leave me tonight

Baby love me or leave me tonight

알아 이미 너의 대답은 No

I already know that your answer is no

나도 알아 이미 안다고 알아도

But I pretend that I don't, though I already knew it

아직까진 I cannot give up on you

I can't give up on you yet

너의 목소리로 듣기 전까지는

Until I hear you say it to me

Can't give up on you

Can't give up on you

숨을 죽이고 너의 대답을 기다릴게

I'll hold my breath as I wait for your answer

턴을 너에게 넘긴 채로

I'll leave it up to you

만약 아니라 하더라도 말해 줘

Tell me whether it's YES or NO

Baby love me or leave me tonight

Baby, love me or leave me tonight

So 대답해 줘

So answer me

숨김 없이 솔직하게

with all honesty

어서 대답해 줘

Tell me everything right now

Baby love me or leave me tonight

Baby love me or leave me tonight

So tell me now

So tell me now

1. Return back vs Return

Mana nih yang kalau udah pake return tapi masih dikasih back belakangnya? Ini keliru, ya. Return sendiri artinya adalah "kembali" jadinya tidak perlu lagi pakai back. Nah, jadi sekarang jangan bilang Olivia has returned back to school tapi bilang Olivia has returned to school. 

2. Using Double Comparative

Comparative itu apa sih? Dari Grammarly, comparative digunakan untuk membandingkan antara dua benda. Apa saja comparative itu? Ada stronger, taller, shorter, etc. Nah, lalu apa yang dimaksud dengan double comparative? Coba deh perhatikan contoh berikut.

Adam is more stronger than Edy vs Adam is stronger than Edy.

Yup! Benar. Kata more di sana juga berperan sebagai comparative begitu pula stronger. Kalau memakai keduanya, maka kalimat kita jadi salah.

    Sebenarnya mudah saja membedakan keduanya, yang satu sebagai possessive pronoun sedangkan yang satunya lagi adalah contraction. Kata its sendiri biasanya diperuntukkan kepada kepemilikan yang mana biasanya lebih digunakan untuk binatang atau benda mati. Contohnya, 

the cat is smelling its food. 

Lalu bagaimana dengan it's? Nah, it's sendiri adalah singkatan dari it is atau it has. Lalu cara membedakan kapan dia adalah it is dan kapan dia adalah it has? Cukup perhatikan tenses dalam kalimatnya saja. Contohnya, 

A: the cat is sleeping, so it's not going to eat. 

B : how long has the cat been sleeping?

C : it's been sleeping since three hours ago. 

Nah, itu dia sekilas penjelasan mengenai its dan it's. Terima kasih! Nantikan postingan selanjutnya!

Articulatory Phonetics

All the sounds we make when we speak are the result of muscles contracting. The muscles in the chest that we use for breathing produce the flow of air that is needed for almost all speech sounds; muscles in the larynx produce many different modifications in the flow of air from the chest to the mouth. After passing through the larynx, the air goes through what we call the vocal tract, which ends at the mouth and nostrils; 

🌟 We call the part comprising the mouth "The Oral Cavity".

and 

🌟 The part that leads to the nostrils "The Nasal Cavity" 

Here the air from the lungs escapes into the atmosphere. We have a large and complex set of muscles that can produce changes in the shape of the vocal tract, and in order to learn how the sounds of speech are produced it is necessary to become familiar with the different parts of the vocal tract.  These different parts are called articulators, and the study of them is called articulatory phonetics.

#Accent vs. #Dialect

The word accent is often confused with dialect. The word "dialect" refers to a variety of a language which is different from others in pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and word order.  The word "accent", on the other hand, refers to pronunciation differences only.

#Stress: is the relative strength of a syllable. 

#Intonation: is the use of the pitch of the voice to convey meaning. 

As an example of stress, consider the difference between the pronunciation of "contract" as a noun (‘they signed a contract) and "contract" as a verb (it started to contract). 

In the former, the stress is on the first syllable, while in the latter it is on the second syllable.  In General, the stress goes on the first syllable in nouns and on the second syllable in verbs. 

A possible example of intonation would be the different pitch movements on the word "well" said as an exclamation and as a question: in the first case the pitch will usually fall from high to low, while in the second it will rise from low to high.

Phonemes 

In any language we can identify a small number of regularly used sounds (vowels and consonants) that we call phonemes; for example, the vowels in the words ‘pin’ and ‘pen’ are different phonemes, and so are the consonants at the beginning of the words ‘pet’ and ‘bet’. 

Because of the notoriously confusing nature of English spelling, it is particularly important to learn to think of English pronunciation in terms of phonemes rather than letters of the alphabet. So, a phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a word that makes a difference in its pronunciation, as well as its meaning, from another word. For instance, the /s/ in ‘soar’ distinguishes it from /r/ in ‘roar’, as it becomes different from ‘soar’ in pronunciation as well as meaning.

There are three types of Phonetics: 

🎓1- Articulatory Phonetics: describes how sounds (vowel and consonant sounds) are articulated in various parts of the mouth and throat. ((How we PRODUCE Sounds))

🎓2- Acoustic Phonetics: describes how sounds travel in the air the form of vibrations from the speaker’s mouth to the hearer’s ear.  ((The Physics of Sounds))

🎓3- Auditory Phonetics: describes how sounds are perceived. In other words, how the brain decodes the wave sounds back into vowels and consonants originally intended by the speaker. ((How brain PROCESSES Sounds))

We all know that English has 26 letters, but there are 44 sounds: 

20 vowels + 24 consonants (= 44 sounds listed with examples in the picture above)

So, we need to differentiate between a letter and its sound(s). 

The letter "a", for example, has many sounds in English:

- /æ/ as in "fat" 

- /eɪ/ as in "fate"

- /ɑ:/ as in "far" 

- /ə/ as in "around"

- /eə/ as in "careful"
