Naomi-先生 was talking about the difference in pronunciation for 'ima (now) and i'ma (living room). I would just like to remember the difference in pronunciation in those other two pairs of words: 1) 'kaeru and ka'eru I guess the first is to change, to return and the latter is frog. Am I right? I remember 夏子さん talking about it (and her abomination for frogs), but I am not quite sure about the pitch accent. 2) 'satou and sa'tou I believe the first one is sugar and the second one is a male name, right? Now, I know I said "2 other pairs", but while writing I remembered two other ones: 3) 'suika and su'ika The first is the train ticket and the latter watermelon??? 4) 買う (かう - to buy) and 飼う (かう - to raise "an animal")... any difference?? Thank you very much for helping out!!! My really best wishes!!! :hachimaki: Hello.
