Alkanadi:Does the Esperanto word "se" sound like the English word "say"?I'd say, yes, without the "i" sound at the end.

"Alkanadi":How to pronounce "se"With an "s" and an "e". How else should it be spoken?

johmue:Or like "said" without the "d".That's how it sounds to me, too - rhymes with head.

Alkanadi:Does the Esperanto word "se" sound like the English word "say"?Optimally it should sound like the "se" in "seven" or the "sai" in "said"; however, with the differences between the vowels in Esperanto, thee could probably get away with saying it as the Spanish word "se" or the French word/syllable "sé"

orthohawk:or the French word/syllable "sé"No. The french "é" is what we in German call a "closed vowel". Esperanto vowels are supposed to be "open". In French you would write that as "è"

johmue:if thee would take the time to read my post carefully, thee would see that I reinforced the "open e" pronunciation.orthohawk:or the French word/syllable "sé"No. The french "é" is what we in German call a "closed vowel". Esperanto vowels are supposed to be "open". In French you would write that as "è"
the closed e pronunciation while not OPTIMAL is ACCEPTABLE if that's the way one's vocal tract works.
