Daniela B. a rezolvat corect.
Buna ziua. De ce “an interesting book” nu are acceasi logica cu “a universal law” sau “a utopian idea”?
Multumesc.
Buna.
E vorba de sunete – pentru “universal” avem [ju], dar pentru “interesting” avem [in] – deci in paranteze ai sunetele in transcriere fonetica.
La fel si pentru “uniform” [ju] si toate celelate.
