How do you pronounce "minke" in Minke whales?  Is the 'e' silent, long, or does it say "ay"?

It's "minkey" after the whaler who first named it.\nhttp://www.geocities.com/~kcdreher/minke.html

No, you don't pronounce it in the word "et", I can assure you. French is my mother tongue and I speak it and write it very well. The word "et" is pronounced "ay". If you pronounce the "T", it may sound like the word "est", which mean "is".  In that case, you would be saying "A man IS a woman". But I don't think that's what you mean. ;)\n\nFor other french words ending by the letter "T", it depends. French is full of exceptions and rules... Most of the time you should pronounce it but it is accepted in common language to let it go.

In Arabic it sounds like "fishu". No 'v'.

Word of mouth? It's pretty simple. If the word begins with a vowel, just add "ay" (pronounced like a long A) onto the end of it. If it doesn't begin with a vowel, place the first letter at the end of the word, and then add "ay" onto it.  "Onto" would be become "Ontoay", and "would" would become "ouldway".

The "I before E" rule has its exceptions, but science is not one of them.  "I before E" is only applicable when the two vowels combine to make a single sound, a diphthong.  Since we pronounce both the "I" and the "E" in "science", it doesn't apply here.\n\nSometimes it doesn't work even for words it's otherwise supposed to, like "weird" for example.

The pronunciation of the -ed or -d in the simple past and past participle of regular verbs depends on the final sound of the infinitive (notice I'm talking about "sound" not necessarily "letter").\n\nIf the final sound is either "t" or "d", then you read the final -(e)d as /id/: wait- waited /weitid/, invite - invited /invaitid/, add - added /adid/\n\nThe pronunciation is as /t/ if the final sound is any of the following: /p/, /k/, /ch/, /sh/, /s/, /f/ or /th (as in "think", not as in "they"). This is because all of these sounds are "voiceless" (i.e.: pronounced without vibration of the vocal chords) so you need another "voiceless" sound, as /t/. E.g.: look - looked /lukt/, pass- passed /past/...\n\nFor all of the other final sounds, you don't pronounce the "e" and you do pronounce the "d". This is because all of the remaining sounds are "voiced" (i.e.: pronounced by making the vocal chords vibrate) so you need another "voiced" sound, as /d/. E.g.: live - lived /livd/, seem - seemed /si:md/...\n\nThe same principle (or actually very similar) applies for the pronunciation of the final -s in plural and 3rd person verbs. /z/ for voiced endings, /s/ for voiceless endings, and /iz/ for words ending in /s/ or /z/ (or also /sh/ or /j/).

Im not sure if there is a spelling mistake, but there was no problem in pronouncing these two words. Is there something unique about these...\n\n.:Fishie:.
