What's your favourite type of beer?

(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)

I used to go out of my way for very different beers that were outside the domestic ones. Strong IPAs, stouts, Imperials. But these days I prefer very clean lagers.

I could definitely go for a cool IPA right now.

is it common to say [bɪr] in canada? i learned something!

Note that I'm not great with IPA, English is my second language, and I made this while stoned 2 years ago, so it might not necessarily be accurate! :P I'm pretty sure that's how most people pronounce it here. Although Canadian English is a wonderful mishmash of American and British Engliah, with a hint of French and Indigenous influences.

How do people say it in your neck of the woods?

I’m not great with IPA

It's obviously not your favorite type of beer :)

It should be /ɹ/ or /ɚ/ instead of /r/.

preussischblau@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y (6 replies)

/r/ is perfectly acceptable to represent that phoneme in a broad transcription. Would only be a problem had he they wrote [r].

yeah true. thx. i was just a bit puzzeled bc i assumed [ ].

sik0fewl@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Well, the question was in []. I responded with // because I'm not enough of an expert to attempt narrow transcriptions 🙂.

preussischblau@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 1y

That is also a fair point.

Usually I wouldn't bother, but seeing as this is a linguistics community; it's a lot more inclusive to use the singular "they" rather than "he" if you don't know the pronouns one uses.

Signed, not a he.

I don't necessarily agree with your argumentation generally speaking (both the generic masculine pronoun and singular they are fine in my opinion), but you do literally have your pronouns right there, so I will admit I could/should have avoided the issue anyhow. Sorry about that.

Edit: Oh, also, Weißbier, to answer your post's question.
