ENNAKU omgg the yeyeyeyeyeeyyennaku discourse continues
okay well to be fair everyone who says yenakku and not enakku is Fake TM
time to make this the first informative post on this blog!! :D
sometimes, if a tamil word starts with the letter எ (ipa: ē), people will pronounce it with a y sound at the beginning (ipa: yē). this is especially common with the word எனக்கு (pronounced like enakku or yenakku depending who you are)
i’m pretty sure it’s a regional/colloquial thing, but i’m not sure. i speak mostly in the brahmin dialect and i say it without the y, but i’ve even noticed other speakers of my dialect pronounce it with the y, so there really isn’t any way to know.
but then again, i speak like 3 tamil dialects in a trench coat LMAO
