Japanese pronouciation

Postby llappleact_503400 » December 27th, 2014 1:44 pm

Hi

I always find this confusing, in some phrases such as これとも、native speakers seem always say これども。Similar can be seen in many cases, I am just wondering what is going on here. I do not think you are supposed to say "do" instead of "to" like the english rule of saying "b" instead of "p" after "s" or I am mistaken. If such rules exist, what is it?

Llappleact san,
Konnichiwa.
これとも should be always pronounced ‘ko re to mo’.
Could you please tell me when you heard and give me example sentences?
It could be dialect….
