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.
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.
"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.
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
That last letter is not used as a consonant there. Make sure that when you listen to what your teachers say in school, you listen to both halves of the lesson.
I'm totally baffled by this quiz. It says the quiz is regarding missing vowels and yet, in the body of the frame, it shows the consonants that are missing.
Also included are collard greens, kohlrabi, and brussels sprouts. I served fresh kohlrabi from my garden last night, and considering what brassicas do to my husband after he eats them, I don't find anything about them funny, fact or otherwise, but he quite enjoys them. :)
:D

This is not one of those times.
