In English, y sometimes makes an i/e sound-- in that case it is used as a vowel

Apparently it's regional as well. My last job was editing educational material from India for a U.S. audience. They had a whole lesson about words with no vowels, like "rhythm," because y is always considered a consonant in India. We had to scrap the whole lesson because in the U.S. y is "sometimes" a vowel.

In all my years of being in school in Britain, "y" was absolutely never considered a vowel, as you mention words like myth were considered to have no vowels. If someone said to me the vowels are a e i o u y and look at them very funny indeed.

I find that the ones that start with vowels are the hardest, since you don’t have that beginning sound to get you on the right track. Good quiz, though. I had a lot fun trying to figure out the answers, even if I didn’t get them all.

It functions as a vowel in the only answer containing it, so the quiz should stay as is.

"y" only functions as a vowel when there is no other vowel in the word, so in this case it does not count as a vowel.

sel, by that logic Y is a vowel in RHYTHM but isn't a vowel in RHYTHMIC, despite functioning in exactly the same way. That rule is incorrect.

Y functions as a vowel when it makes a vowel sound such as the long e sound in celery. It functions as a consonant when it makes the sound of y in yellow.

hmmm... the "u" in "Squash" functions as a consonant though. (It would be weird having it as such in the quiz though.)
Dimby

Level 79
Jun 9, 2020
"U" does not function as a consonant in squash. In English, we can blend together two vowel sounds to make a diphthong. A diphthong is essentially a single syllable that carries two separate vowel sounds. In squash, you are likely making a long /oo/ followed by /aw/, but blending them together into one syllable. Japanese is an example of a language that does not typically use diphthongs (which is why English haikus are wrong and stupid).

For the record, any letter that creates a syllable has to be considered a vowel. In celery, the "y" clearly is a syllable. Cel-er-y.

By that logic, W must be a vowel in "wash"
Dimby

Level 79
Jan 9, 2023
W can actually function as a vowel sometimes, like in "town". There is a reason it's called "double U", after all. In fact, the "Huwat" way of pronouncing "What" almost makes that "W" into a vowel sound. But with "wash", you notice that your lips purse to make a "wuh" sound, but in squash you're opening your lips to make more of a "oo-aw" sound. The consonant "Q" being there changes the way your mouth forms the sounds.

Agree with (general?) APHill - Y can be either a consonant or a vowel, depending on its function in the word.

I missed that one aswell I was thinking patat many times (which are fries in english) eventhough I tried to get it out of my head, maybe I shouldn't have.. and think more about the word, and what fries are made of, man..

I also missed corn, which ok, if I am gonna miss one, I am fine it is that one, but, I actually kept thinking of acorn! It really should have dawned on me haha

evilcheeser

Level 74
Jan 22, 2023
Technically, fruit is a botanical category relating to how a plant disseminates its seeds, while vegetable just means the edible parts of plants. Since the two categories don't at all correlate, it's usually not very helpful to ask whether something is a fruit "or" a vegetable. The only real benefit in making a distinction there is a culinary one.

If we are therefore going to pretend that fruit is a culinary contrast to vegetable, then squash would pretty clearly be on the vegetable side of the equation. Otherwise, it's just both.

Jan 22, 2023
"Fruit" has two definitions, a botanical one, which is pretty strictly defined, and a culinary one, which is very loosely defined. "Vegetable" has no botanical definition whatsoever, only a loose culinary one so when someone says that a certain thing is a vegetable they must be speaking culinarily. And a squash is culinarily a vegetable, even if it is botanically a fruit.

TL;DR: "Fruit" and "vegetable" are not mutually exclusive terms.
