Why isnt the k silent? English is weird

u/chewbaklava Apr 01 '23
I'll try to give an answer. English is more or less a combination of Latin (via French) and Germanic languages. Because of that, we've developed our strange and confusing spellings and inconsistent pronunciations as the two roots battled for dominance throughout the medieval era while the language developed in Britain.
We inherited the Kn from the Germanic root of English, and in fact the K was not silent for many, many years in the early stages of English's development. For example, the work knight used to be pronounced with the K and sounded the K-nicht.
This word for instance is a Yiddish loan-word of Germanic origin, so therefore the K will be pronounced.

Are you joking? I heard the word a “k” naidel with an obvious “k” sound at the beginning. I don’t think the word was “naidel” and just had a silent k. Unless I’m missing something, not trying to be a jerk, just wasn’t sure if your kidding

the vid could do without the AI Obama commentary... Almost all videos posted here are ruined by the tiktok AI voice, terrible music, or over top foley of a decade old video clip

I'm really glad other people feel the same way. All of these "president dubs" are extremely low tier comedy imo

Gracious in victory, humble in defeat. That's what my marching band teacher taught me.
Good job kid!

I never understood spelling-bees. Like what is so impressive about memorising how to spell words? Maybe it’s because I’m dyslexic, but I don’t see the appeal, or or usefulness of this.

Low-key that word sucks and isn’t very hard to begin with and that’s the word he won with so that’s why he’s underwhelmed

Interesting that Obama has chosen to spend his latter years dubbing commentary over youtube videos.
