"winter"

Translation: ふゆ

[1ionu]

Voiceless bilabial fricative

[feanixium]

You lost me at 'bilabial' :|

[FiskeFinne]

It means that you use both lips (and no teeth). English "f" is a voiceless labiodental fricative. Labiodental means one lip plus teeth.

[Mbunk1]

Which basically means it sounds more like an h than an f

[GewoonLeonYT]

It IS in the h-column after all

[vtopphol]

Almost like trying to blow out a candle. Not violently, but more gentle.

[HoroTanuki]

so is this a bilabial fricative (when you're using both lips and no teeth). As an ingressive sound

[_XxAntonxX_]

So we don't use our teeth for this word?

面白い

[vilhelmvs]

冬

[punkdoabc]

Sometimes a scarf, is just a scarf.

[Ari874844]

So, the fu in japanese doesnt make an F sound?

[Beste_Schurk]

According to the app Human Japanese (which I tried before this course was available) the F sound in Japanese is pronounced without your upper teeth touching your lower lip, which makes it sound a lot softer than English.

[megahbite]

It's kind of a breathless sound, in-between an "h" and an "f".

[benja371983]

Yeah try making the 'f' sound by pushing air out of your mouth with rested lips instead of bringing the lips to your teeth like we do.

[Barbie7777777]

Its like when u whistle. But u should pronounce it faster

[KonradDelo]

It kinda looks looks a person with oversized head slipping on ice and falling down.

[Hikmetlim]

I know this from given. Fuyu no hanashi (winter story)

[NoctisLumen]

Hey, japanese ゆ is very simular to cirillic yu (ю)

[JayeStanley]

Phew (fuyu), it's really cold this winter

[sushilover89]

When it's Christmas, people bring gifts "fu-yu" (for you). Don't know if this will work for anyone in the southern hemisphere. XD

[DaleCapo]

Fuyu soa nitidamente à "Friu" assim fica bem fácil de lembrar o significado

[rpg-dad]

Spanish "Frio" good assimilation

[Luca_Zaruk000]

I thought it was tsuyu but it was fuyu wait.. WHICH ONE IS ITTTTT

[Swisidniak]

梅雨・つゆ means "rainy season"
冬・ふゆ is "winter"

[JoD24]

Thanks.

[jamaicarose2]

There is a fuyu persimmon, maybe so called because it produces in Winter. Though mine is usually ripe in late fall, around Halloween.

[BerleezysE]

Fuyu is coming

[Sum_Gai]

ふゆは来ます。
