Hi, I’d like to know if I have pronounced this idiom correctly. If I have not, don’t hesitate to correct me. Listen to the voce message.
idiom:’‘I am as snug as a bug in the rug’’
Sorry, I can’t post the voice message.! May I know the correct manner of pronouncing
It’s usually “I am as snug as a bug in a rug”
Thanck you Dear kanjikook!
I can see that it was my mistake. but I want to know how to pronounce whole the sentence. (intonation)
Hello Tresoruniken
The main stress would normally be on the words snug, bug and rug – and of course I am would be contracted in spoken English:
“[I’m as [b]snug[/b]] [as a bug] [in a rug].”
thank you! what about the stress for the words: snug, rug and bug I think snug, rug and bug
We normally talk about stress in terms of single syllables, Tresorunikin, and those are all one-syllable words. Of course, the “ug” in each of those words rhymes. Is that what you’re getting at?
thanck you very much: I am glad with your explanation
