How is the ending -ig pronounced, and where? @gioele I found something: In my old schoolbook "Richtig Schreiben", Essner-Jungke, Schroedel, 1981, page 160, Chapter "-ig oder -lich". Alas, that school book is about spelling and less about pronunciation. But I quote: "Viele [...] Eigenschaftswörter lassen bei hochdeutscher Aussprache nicht erkennen, ob sie auf -ig oder -lich enden." or "For many adjectives pronounced 'hochdeutsch' it is difficult to distinguish if they end with -ig or -lich.". This means, I take it, that in 'hochdeutsch' there is only a very slight difference, and this means "-ig" is pronounced very close to /ɪç/. |

How is the ending -ig pronounced, and where? @gioele Not a formal one, only experience. With "it should pronounce" I mean "the rules I learned in school", which basically is Hochdeutsch: "a 'g' is a voiced." I tried to find a reference in my printed Duden, but could not find any. I consider Pons not to be "gold standard", but to my surprise all "-ig" words are noted there to be pronounced "-ich" -- that's not what I learned. Online Duden states that, too. Oh my! Stange, strange. |

Can one say “Schönheit”/ “Bescheidenheit” instead of “Gesundheit”? @Clemens: Well, you are right ;-) |

Can one say “Schönheit”/ “Bescheidenheit” instead of “Gesundheit”? You may follow the "Knigge", yes, but that also is considered to be outdated. It gets a bit of a renaissance, though, and you hear "girls get impressed again by men with manners"... could be a rumor or an ad-ploy, of course. But it is always better to be polite even if you dont want to follow the "Knigge". It is completely o.k. to say "Gesundheit!", it is good to apologize for sneezing, it is mocking to say "Schönheit!" and you will not impress anyone, girls the least. |
