Okay, I always notice something weird when listening to Russian music...
1.) They pronounce <ы> like <и>. For example, ты sounds a lot like ти, but with the <т> not palatalized. I thought these sounds were distinct but I can't tell the difference when they're singing...
2.) I thought that when there was <ч> before a consonant, it's supposed to sound like <ш>...but I was listening to Zемфира's song "Анечка" and t.A.T.u.'s song "Белочка", and instead of the <ч> sounding like <ш>, it sounded more like English "ch". Does that make sense? Lol, either way, it sure didn't sound like <ш>..
3.) <ой> sounds more like <ай>...I'm not sure--is this correct? Or am I wrong? Lol.
Can someone try clearing this up for me? Thanks...it made me so confused lol..^^;;
