In English v and w are pronounced differently, but I thought europoors knew this

>>75517131
it sounds fucking same

>>75517131
but veni vedi vici is not pronounced weni wedi wici, it's pronounced with a sharp v.

>>75517282
No you just can't hear the difference because you're used to a different phonology

>>75517338
Incorrect. 'W' as in 'why' or 'wheel': weni widi wiki

>>75517343
no

>>75517338
>it's pronounced with a sharp v
nope

>>75517415
Yes. I'm sorry but you're wrong: 'v' and 'w' in English sound worlds apart

>>75517415

do water and butter sound the same to you?

w and v are different in English.
They arent very different, and ancient Romans from Hispania couldnt tell the difference between bibere (with the b of book) and vivere (which would be pronunced wiwere with the w of English)

That is why the roman v which originally sounded like the W of English changed to how it is currently pronounced in all romance languages (either the b of book or the v of victory)

the roman v originally was more like a semivowel than a consonent, like making a u dipthong

also, some Spanish speakers say Weno instead of Bueno, shows you how B and W can still be confused.

>>75517415
V is like the composer Wagner.

W is like Washington.

Vine is something grapes grow on, wine is what you turn those grapes into, though I'm sure those two words are etymologically related.

I dont understand the people who defend classical pronounciation.
It is pretty much pronounciation of the republic instead of the empire, and in romance languages we say Vita, Vida, Vie, not Wita, Wida, Wie.
Why should we keep something everybody naturally dropped? if it was dropped it was not good.

>>75518643
It's about authenticity. Also, much like in biological evolution, changes to a language over time are not 'good' or 'bad': they are simply the net result of natural forces acting upon variation. Something being dropped does not necessarily make it any less valuable than something retained.
