- U vs Ü
U vs Ü
I have studied the different pronunciations of the umladed words. Most of them are easy to tell and in fact in Deutsch there are only 3. Those being the ä, ö and ü
. The ä
makes more of a short e
. The ö
is kind of between a u and an o. However I've had trouble wih u and ü
. I have a theory tho. This is my theory The u sound makes a kind o sound when an o is doubled. Eg. A word like ''good''. And the ü makes a more of a ''ooooh'' sound. Like in Bücher. It's easy to see that in Bücher.
Booocher´´.
Thankyou. Would I be right in my theory oder nein?

Hi cluney,
good question. I don't know how many times I was thinking of a good example word in english for "Ü". I didn't found one yet. Please use this link, click the arrow in front of "die Bücher" and make your own decision.
