Question
When pronouncing /v/ and /f/, the lower lip lightly touches the edge of the upper teeth. Air flows through the small gap, creating a soft friction sound.
Note the difference between /v/ and /f/. When we pronounce words with /v/ sound, there is a vibration, whereas /f/ sound has no vibration. Both the sounds can occur in the beginning, middle, or at the end of words.
Read these words aloud with the help of your teacher.
| beginning sound /f/: forest | flowers | from |
| middle sound /f/: | deft | afternoon |
| end sound /f/: | of | itself |
| beginning sound /v/: vase | valour | victory |
| middle sound /v/: | woven | even marvellous |
| end sound /v/: | hive |
