    I grew up in Queens and I used to date this girl from Manhattan, one day we decided to go to Puerto Rico for vacation and we found other people from the continental US at the hotel, one day at the hotel's restaurant during a gathering someone asked my girlfriend, so were are you from? and she said I'm from the city, and everyone said at once, what city? I just laughed and I said well, what other city is there? everyone shared a giggle, and didn't ask anymore. I felt compelled to share the story, have a healthy and happy 2021 everybody

    There IS only one way to say Manhattan if you're from NYC. It's pronounced The City.

      When I lived in New York, if you lived in the Bronx and went to Manhattan ,below 125th street you went downtown. If you lived in Brooklyn you said you were going to the City. Downtown was downtown Brooklyn.

      In the Bronx, if you're going past Harlem, you're going downtown. We never call it the city, cause the Bronx and Manhattan used to be 1. That's why we share the same street numbering system.

    I’m from Brooklyn and no lie, everything you said is correct. We don’t pronounce “T’s” when there’s 2 of them. Like Button is Buh-in. And what I realized lately is I pronounce my “R’s” and they sound, depending on the word, like “V’s”. I hear my accent a lot when I say “Senior Center”. It’s Seenya Sentah

    Being a Queens native, from Rosedale we dont pay attention to the way we talk.however, the minute we open are mouth it's a dead give away. We don't use r in mother,father etc. We use a but don't realize it. I get ask all the time what part of the city I'm from people ask Queens or Brooklyn. Everyone picks up the accent right away I just never noticed it. But born & raised Rosedale ;>)

    Thank you for your debut. I happen to teach English, and I loved the way you introduced the thing. Besides, if I may, I wish to tell you what words familiar do I associate with your beautiful instructional technique here. For example, I use 'production' (how to produce sounds) instead of 'pronunciation'. I use only phonics when I segment words into sounds (never producing an 'en' for 'n,' or an 'el' for 'l'). I'm impressed with how much zealousness you put into video content and amazingly engaging style, and wish to make it up someday, keeping fingers crossed, for a joined collaboration

    A lot of Blacks and NewYorkRicans pronounce Manhattan "Mahatt'n'", eating the middle N completely. Also, some ESL Latino speakers call it "Mahatan" perhaps imitating the way Blacks and NewYorkRicans say it. Some Latinos also call Bronx and Queens, "Bron" and "Queen" eating the X and S sounds completely. Many young people from The Bronx pronounce their borough's name "Da Brawnx". This is from what I've heard living in NYC most of my life.

    • @jhaszmyn.
      @jhaszmyn. 5 лет назад

      jsphat81 I’m from NY and I’m black I have never met anyone who pronounce Manhattan like that. If they are, they’re not speaking with a NY accent. That’s an accent imitating NY. If the first N is pronounced the Ts get pronounced but because we try to speak the easiest way when pronouncing a word, we’re not gonna skip a letter and then pronounce another letter that’s causing us to pause just to pronounce it. If that makes sense. I’m not nor is anyone else with a real NY accent, going to avoid the N just to pronounce 2 Ts. We’re lazy speakers. If the N is avoided so are the Ts. It’s too much work but if I’m trying to get you to understand me. Imma pronounce all letters so you can hear me clearly. Not the ones that make me pause
