    Best tips ever. Thanks Daria! I really struggled with this vowel and it took me weeks and weeks of practice until I got to the point I can pronounce it well enough. For me it's the most difficult part of the Russian pronunciation.

  • @franchi
    @franchi 8 лет назад +87

    This sound doesn't exist in spanish, but we have the interjection "uy", that sounds exactly "уи". This can be used for a nice surprise or pain at the same time. So if it's a surprise, you say "уиии". But if it's pain, you ocasionally close your mouth (because of the situation), and actually you say it as a long "ыыыы". Everybody listening to you will understand that you forgot your keys inside the house, or you didn't win the lottery for just one number, or something like that :) although the sound Ы is not used at all in spanish.

  • @kybeozactus407
    @kybeozactus407 4 года назад +2

    To clarify, these methods allow you to get a not very clear sound, although very close to the sound Ы. Ы and У are not related.
    In rapid speech, you may find a similar sound in the phrase 'We will going to drink whisky' = Wы wыll going to drink whыsky
    The main thing is not to make the consonant sound before Ы softer, otherwise you will get the sound И ('ee').

    @thehattedhedgehog 5 лет назад +2

    If somebody still cannot pronounce it,
    Try to swallow your tongue, but leaving tip of it touching that place under bottom teeth. The sound you got is not really ordinary ы. NOW gradually relax tongue until you've got ы.

  • @userxl41drn301
    @userxl41drn301 Год назад +1

    Believe it or not, this sound somewhat exists in American (and possibly other variants of) English, and English speakers pronounce it all the time.
    It's pretty much the sound of the isolated "i" in the word "six".
    Just analyze carefully how Americans in particular pronounce the word "six" and it's probably the closest sound to the Russian "Ы".
    Stretch out the word "six" for a couple of seconds, accentuating the depth of the vowel by opening up the jaw, and this pretty much puts your mouth and tongue in the correct position to pronounce that letter. Change it by saying "six" but begin with a "T" sound and not an "S" sound. Then omit the "X" sound at the end completely, and you should have a much better pronunciation of the word for "you" in Russian than most of the complicated guides out there.
    Another exercise. Say the word "thin" or "this" with an American accent a couple of times, then start dropping the "TH" sound. Congratulations, you're 95% closer to pronouncing "Ы" properly.
    Source: I be Russian but became bilingual in English from a very early age, so I've tried to explain this sound before to English speakers on many occasions.

    • @AlexAmelkin
      @AlexAmelkin 4 года назад +4

      "и" is never like "ы" or vice versa. Can you indeed give examples of songs and words in them where you think you hear "и" instead of "ы" ?
      I'm puzzled because changing "ы" to "и" usually completely changes the meaning like "мыло" (soap) becoming "мило" (nice), so we hear the difference very well.

  • @jamesgoad4948
    @jamesgoad4948 6 лет назад +1

    I have another way of explaining it that helps some people. Pretend as if your tongue does not exist, and make a mix between the и and short "i" sound (like the word "bit"). It's hard to explain in text, but it may help some.

  • @evangelosgeronicolas2385
    @evangelosgeronicolas2385 6 лет назад +1

    As I try to pronounce /bI/ correctly, I feel that pushing the tongue up and backwards is more like a move that prepares its coming forward again. It is like the winding of a spring in order to make it springy. So, the tongue goes back to be able to articulate the next phoneme or word in a more clear, vigorous and uniterrupted flowing manner. For instance in "A TbI KAK?" with the tongue back after TbI, we are ready to articulate KAK more clearly and emphatically. Is this the right approach?

    • @ebonydarkness
      @ebonydarkness 6 лет назад +1

      Actually the Pinyin vowel "ü" is [y] in IPA and more fronted and rounded than ы which is usually [ɨ] (recording here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_central_unrounded_vowel ) like the "i" in zhi, chi, shi, and ri. I spoke a Southwestern Mandarin dialect at home that doesn't have retroflex consonants so every "r" was omitted and I grew up hearing [ɨ] by itself whenever 日 (rì) was spoken.
      I learned this by reading up on Mandarin phonology to try to apply it to learning Russian. To my surprise ы was mentioned in this article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Chinese_phonology#Syllabic_consonants
