Changed line(s) 1 from:
n
\
to:
\\\"Singer\\\" = sing-er\\\\\\\\
\\\"Finger\\\" = fing-ger
The difference is that we don\\\'t have a \\\"g\\\" in singer in the same way (alternatively, we have an extra \\\"g\\\" in finger); we have the \\\"ng\\\" sound but there\\\'s no k-like sound after it. \\\"Finger\\\" has the \\\"ng\\\" and then a \\\"g\\\" sound that makes the syllables more distinct.
... Does that make sense? I need to learn how to write in IPA.
