what is the pronunciation of "mad"? it's a sound I can't really describe but i've looked up danish phonetics and i saw that the D in "ad" is pronounced like a voiced TH sound? but "mad" seems to be pronounced like m-eh-gets hit in the stomach

so, what is the pronunciation of words with a vowel + D? -ad -ed stuff like that

Hahah, the sound really is like that.My son said, I just had to pretend I didn't like something and then say that kind of "eah". :-D:-D So yeah,it is like hit-in-the-stomach.

umm try sticking your tongue against your lower teeth and do not take it off - and say try to say an 'l' and a 'get hit in the stomach sound' together. honestly - it works - the d sounds like an 'l' or 'ell'. looking for confirmation from some danes....:)
