Uncomfortable isn't an easy word to say. It has this awkward pause right in the middle, whether you say it like:
Uncomf-terble
Or:
Uncomfor-table
Either way is still strange to say. Your mouth kinda scrunches up and your tongue goes to the back of your throat when saying the 'comf' part of uncomfortable, and if you say the fully proper 'uncomfor-table,' your lips and nose sneer a little bit when saying the 'for' part.
Uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable.
I wonder if this qualifies as an onomatopoeia because the word itself is uncomfortable to say.
The funny thing is, when I say this word, I pause in a different place: uncom-fortable. It's a miniscule pause, though. Y'see, "fortable" rolls off the tongue fairly easily.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, I'm unusual. And I vote to count it onomatopoeitic.
