CrabHelmet Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 The letter Y was originally established as a vowel. In the standard English language' date=' the letter Y is traditionally regarded as a consonant, but a survey of almost any English text will show that Y more commonly functions as a vowel. It is the only letter in the English language that functions as both a vowel and consonant. In many cases, it is known as a semivowel.[/quote'] Hey, guys, can we end this idiotic LOLYISCONSTANTANTANT thing now? No' date=' for a much better reason: because I'm [i']right[/i]. Except for that one time when I corrected your error about Last Day of Witch... Ahh that day was the best! I meant in this specific instance, not in every single thing that has ever been said by me. I'm not the bloody Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilrow Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 In Czech, there are syllabic consonants, so you get words like zrmzlina, where the r is the "vowel" of the first syllable. There's even a word which is just s. In fact, there's a city called Brno. In Croatian there's also the word srco, which works similarly. In terms of spelling English has Gypsy and some others, but all words do have vowels, in the technical sense of the word, in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsen Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well, in Bosnia, since we don't have Y, R and L are half vowels.=DWe don't also have X and W.But we have stuff like Š, Đ, Č, Ć, Ž, which replicate:Š - ShĐ - I dunnoČ - ChĆ - Ch, I certain situationsŽ - I dunnoAin't Bosnia awesome?

Ezio Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Y is the only case in which it can depend. Over here' date=' for example, Y is a vowel, because we only pronounce it as a single sound. Y is a half-vowel.[/quote'] [align=center]This, in english Y is not a vowel, yet is treated as one.Fly, why, try, rythm ... etc.[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyPooBoy Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Rhythm. Lyn. Check those with a spell checker In both' date=' the y is the vowel, making the i and/or e sound.[/quote'] Didn't you study kindergarten? Or are you just a NOOB? A E I O U are vowels. BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ are consonants, he is asking for a word that doesn't need a vowel, not a word that does not have vowel sounds. Are you a toddler classman? Study again noob. Don't be affected by those, it's serious.You're a n00b. Y can make the e/i sound, brain boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3lly N3rd Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 isnt y still a vowel...the "outsider" the "acception" so..there is no word that doesnt need a vowel..unless you make it up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Whisper Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 There is no rule about that. I've read books and searched all over the net about it and Y is not even a vowel. It sounds like a vowel maybe but this thread is asking for a word that doesn't need a vowel' date=' I don't know whether a vowel or a vowel sound. Anyway, I won't continue this because I don't like bans and negs[/quote'] How about this little nursery saying from Kindergarten The vowels are A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes YYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's a rule. A rule that applies to certain cases. In the word "Rhythm" Y is acting as a vowel. In the word "Lyn" Y is acting as a vowel. This is not arguementative, only informative since you either A: Did not pay attention in pre-school.B: Never learned that Y can be used as a vowel in certain cases.or.. C: Your pre-school and kindergarten teacher never taught this lesson to you. I don't know which one it is, so I will not assume either one. Also, there is no sensible word in the English dictionary that does not need a vowel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
