Welcome to the Friday edition of Berlitz WordMaster - the grand finale of a truly grand week!
INTONATION 声の抑揚、イントネーション
- Intonation is the way a person's voice rises and falls when speaking.
- intonation とは、話すときに声が上下する調子、つまり、声の抑揚、イントネーションのことです。
- You're pronouncing all the words correctly, but you need to work on your intonation.
- Intonation affects the meaning of a sentence in English much more than it does in Japanese.
- (teacher to student)
Your voice should rise at the end of a yes/no question. You tend to use a falling intonation.
Stay happy. Stay well!
