"Chaos." Hey guys, it's Hadar and this is The Accent's Way. Today we're gonna talk
about how to pronounce the word 'chaos' - "chaos." There is so much chaos in this
world. Okay, we begin with a 'k' sound. The 'k' sound at the beginning of words is aspirated. So
it feels like there was a little H right after - "k", "kei"- and then it's the 'A' as
in 'day'. "Kay." And that's the primary stress so it's going to be higher in pitch and
longer - "kei". The second syllable is 'aas', 'aas'. 'Ah' as in 'father' and then you end it up with 'sss'.
But, when you connect those two vowels you hear an intrusive sound - a small
little 'ye' sound right there in the middle.
So actually we want to say "kei-yaas". "Chaos". "Chaos". Look at all this chaos. Chaotic.
