First of all, Happy Woman's Day. Hadar, by the way, you solved another of my doubt: Woman vs Women. Thanks a lot !!!

[@hadar.shemesh]

+RealTeuton555 happy to hear! :)

[@katec9893]

Thank you for pronouncing this correctly! I keep hearing people pronounce both words the same way and it's so weird. I'm wondering if it's a new linguistic change or something people in other countries have always done? I'm in England and everyone here pronounces woman as woman, and women as wimmin.

[@lizzzzk9319]

I had to come here because I thought I WAS CRAZY I keep hearing people use Woman for everything like on tiktok and KZbinrs and I’m like wtf is women not a word anymore?!! Lmao

[@MaoRatto]

It's a sound merger.

[@343RuinedHalo]

I hear so many Americans fail to pronounce Women in its plural form. I had to search for this to confirm I wasn't crazy.

[@MB-ts8oq]

The "A" that changes into an "E" doesn't affect the pronunciation, but the unchangeable "O" in the writing that changes in the speaking! English is a crazy!

[@ThePowerfax]

Well, actually there is a little difference between the pronunciation of "A" and "E". In womAn the vowel is open, while in womEn the vowel is neutral - a mere detail since the big difference is in the first syllabe... But in words like BAD and BED you need to pay attention to the vowel timbre. (:

[@MaoRatto]

IPA says " aesh". Aesh is a front vowel, E is a front vowel. The difference is raising.

[@ahmedgorman5970]

Actually I think that I've always been a very good pronouncer , but never knew the difference between these two . Thank you so much for the clarification 😊.

[@englishhi54]

OMG! the way you explain things, is just so perfect and clear. the others should learn from you.

[@OrdinaryG33K-SF]

SOOO many people confuse these two, I'm finding! Folks really don't know when to use one vs the other. So annoying! I even seen it in print, in prominent publications: "She was an amazing women". Drives me NUTS! Thanks for helping people straighten this out! 👍🏾

[@nilsnyman6767]

"I even seen" is my pet peeve. It's 'I've even seen' or 'I have even seen'.

[@blackbutterfly233ify]

LMAOOO definitely drives me crazy

[@RonieRuas]

Thanks! And congratulations for your Day!

[@metamentality9818]

You are incredible at explaining!

[@David-iq5on]

I liked so much your explanation. thanks!

[@gammaraider]

I hear many youtubers (mostly australian) pronounce "women" the same as "woman". To me it sounds weird but it's done quite often. Anyone else notice this? Is that a common pronounciation anywhere?

[@rahulpurohit5567]

Ur right

[@t-shades7148]

Yes or New Zealanders

[@katec9893]

Yes I keep noticing this everywhere now, people pronouncing women as 'wuh-men' rather than 'wimmin' which is the pronunciation I grew up with and used to hear everywhere until recently. I've noticed British and Americans saying wuhmen now. I wonder if this new pronunciation is the result of foreign people learning English and pronouncing things phonetically and their pronunciation taking hold in the mainstream.

[@Chipbar]

In Canada most people I talk to don’t differentiate woman and women

[@HuAhad111]

I'm Australian and ended up at this video because someone pointed out that I pronounce woman/women the same lol. I've just never consciously thought of them or pronounced them as distinct.

[@dularakavindu1743]

Thanks a lot for your perfect explanation 👍

[@wandersonrosa9170]

Thank you for your explanation ☺️

load and clear :), I hope that you was my secondary school teacher, thanks, you nailed it incredibly,

[@estebanmejia5354]

Hi Hadar! First of all, I'd like to say that I love your videos, you're my favorite teacher :),just by hearing you talking , I can feel the passion that you have for teaching. I'm having troubles with the words girl and jelaous. And also, how do you pronounce a regular or iregular verb which is followed by the word "it" , for instance: "I liked it" "I heard it" " I enjoyed it" , I doesn't sound very natural when I say those but I want to make clear that those verbs are in past. (The last one might sound stupid but I've always had that question) I sent you a e-mail a couple of days ago in regards of your classes, I imagine that you as an accent coach ,offer lessons. Thanks!

[@mktnavega]

Thank you for your time!

[@cotygv]

Great video! Happy Women's Day!!

[@giovanniampuero3582]

thank you so much for you explanation.

[@migaclara30]

The best explication!

[@soniamorgental]

Thank you and "feliz dia das mulheres"!

[@md.istiakkhan5050]

Thank you Hadar. I learned from your video four years after you had posted it. That's why it is called man lives in his deeds not in years. I could learn about you a few days ago. Now I regularly see your videos and try to learn from those. I am a big fan of you from Bangladesh.

[@NSHM122]

Thank you! Showing my age here, but I’ve heard so many younger people pronounce both words as the single ‘woman’. I’m wondering when this changed?

[@axelwiren337]

The word "wifman" was pronounced something like "weef-mon." Over time, the "f" sound vanished, as did the letter, and the word became "wimman." Then the Normans invaded England and the pronunciation changed: The word became "wumman" in the singular and "wimmin" in the plural. The double-m was eventually dropped. (Since hardly anyone could read or write, there were variations on all these things; for the complete, eyeball-tiring survey, check the Oxford English Dictionary.)

[@yahav7499]

[@ronskipanidar887]

Thank for that, God bless

[@happiness3833]

That's the best explanation I have heard

[@LOOCK_official]

Thanks for your video, but why is it /i/ in transcription and not /I/ (ˈwɪmɪn)?

i have no idea!! haha logic, i came for an answer but thats usually what i get with english pronunciation

Very good thank you❤

[@cristiandiaz258]

Thank you!

[@luanafurtado5563]

Thank you!!!

[@UndrcoverCactus]

Interesting, I never knew that was how they were supposed to be pronounced. I’m a native speaker and I pronounce both words the same (I think I might even pronounce the a vs e slightly differently, but it’s practically unnoticeable)

[@t-shades7148]

I've noticed more and more people pronouncing them the same. Where are you from? I'm from the U.S. and they are very different for me.

[@UndrcoverCactus]

@@t-shades7148 I'm from the midwest US, though I've asked multiple people around me about it and they all pronounce it the "correct" way.

[@t-shades7148]

@@UndrcoverCactus Ah I'm from the southeast. It's so funny the things you can go your whole life without realizing! I guess my prediction that you were from New Zealand was wrong. I've found the two sound really similar in NZ accents.

[@sativares]

You must be kidding. I'm from Sweden and I have always pronounced women as wi-men. Don't you watch any american movies? Never noticed the plural pronouncation of woman in films?

You are so sweet for writing this. Thank you so much

[@Themoralsfeeder]

I am wondering about where this new generation is heading to, honestly there should be a reason for any change in pronunciations that are far different from their contexts, the accents may differ of course , but here you are teaching people as far as I understand, you should of course give the reason for the changes I mean neither harm nor insult , most of the comments are learners we are all learners regardless each level

[@rahmabarrouta7916]

Thank you very much Hadar you're amazing it's very useful keep going

[@snehsachdeva9715]

Thankyou uuuu

[@UnknownProfileGPT]

Plural form with I WIMEN is British accent, WEMEN with E is American accent.

I guess my Appalachian accent disagrees with both going with Wi-min

[@BaurzhanZhakeleyev]

Thank you, Hadar. You're the best!

[@jackevans2386]

Your pronunciation of "woman and "women" is perfect. British English is the same, so this is not necessarily just US pronunciation. The problem here in New Zealand though, is that even so called educated people here (politicians and journalists) now pronounce the plural form no different to the singular. It is painfull to listen to. You would do well to change the title of this video to "WOMAN vs. WOMEN | English pronunciation for New Zealanders"

[@MuhammadJunaidge]

Whenever you record the video and recording by the camera must disconnect the camera from the charger before recording then This kind of noise will not come into the audio.
