its sounds like a lower case E sound rather and an upper case A sound...like in hAte it says
I don't quite see the difference...
So..is the difference between No and House do to the pronunciation being a bit longer than the other? Hope that makes sense. ^^;
Basically, yes. Ie, "house",
Basically, yes. Ie, "house", can sound pretty much like "yeh", whereas iie has a more distinguishable "ee-yeh" sound, I think.
On the other hand, in quickly-spoken Japanese, the difference may sometimes be slight enough that it could be hard to pick them apart easily. Luckily, the context generally makes it crystal clear.
