Have You Heard Anyone Use The Crispy R? #linguistics #language #phonology #accent

[ruriva]

Usually I love this guy’s shorts because I walk away learning something cool but this time I have no clue what he’s talking about, like these are words

[IrisDuoBird]

No. I have never heard anyone say this. Am I alone?

[molfa]

As a non-native English speaker, I am not getting the difference between this r and the normal one

[Cmanisthecoolest]

I know what you’re talking about, but the way you say it doesn’t actually sound like the people that do this

Ok the moment I saw “crispy r’s” I thought, has this man seen trixie mattel talk about this? Then he said “cReamy cRispy cRackeR” and I knew 😂

We can now thank our diva Tracy Martel for inventing linguistics

It seems a lot of people don't understand what he means, and because he's putting stress on the R it's difficult to understand what he's trying to say, I'll try and summarise for those who don't get it.
Some people will say; c-r-eepy c-r-awly like their enunciating the /k/ sound separately to the /R/ sound.
But others will say cr-eepy cr-awly where the /k/ and the /r/ sound like one fluid sound.
It's called crispy R because most people say crispy with the separate /k/ and /r/ sound.
And this phenomenon doesn't work with other letters like t and d because, as he says, /k/ involves the expulsion of air in such a way, and the /r/ sound can be formed in the same breath allowing it to blend together into one sound. But a consonant like /l/ can't as you have to reposition your tongue and expell air again, so clue will always be c-l-ue.
So you'll never hear t-r-ain or d-r-ain because /t/ and /d/ don't do this.
Hope this helps.

"kreemie 😣 krispie 🥺 krackur 😽" bro is a cutie patootie

[maschinka_]

I don’t seem to notice anything specific about the way you’re saying it at all though, like, it makes sense but I literally hear no difference?

[dingbat_drummerboy]

Respectfully bro I’ve never heard people say it the way you do in the video

Trixie Mattel does a great impression of the Crispy R
This was a really interesting video

[Jacheongbi_han-eun]

I've always felt there was subtle "wiggle room" with the letter r especially after learning Korean

[raulalvarez]

I know shes on break but someone please send this to Trixie she needs to know her impact

[dudewhattheheII]

Someone's been watching Trixie Mattel

[nordiner]

Trixie and Katya made me realize about that sound 😭

[squid]

I feel so educated even though I won't remember this in 10 minutes

[isaiahhiggins]

YES! At first I didn't know what he was talking about, but the retroflex r is what I called the midwestern receptionist accent for the longest time because I couldnt put my finger it

[Digitalsurfer]

“cReamy cRispy cRacker” had me rolling 😂😂😂😂

[samgnzn]

As someone that went to speech therapy in school for my R's sound totally understand the difference....but of course the international language classes i had to take to graduate school we were German and French which ruined years of the therapy...as their R's are different then ours. So me and R's are always confuzzled.

While I usually get what you're talking about and love listening to and learning through your videos, I had not idea what you were talking about here until I looked up "crispy r" and listened to people mimicking it on TikTok.
Now I understand.
Your videos always invite learning, active thought, and interest.
