I'm aware that симпатичный is the only correct spelling. Yet, I heard people pronounce this word either as /симпатичный/ or /симпатиШный/. So what is the right way to pronounce it? |

Правильное (корректное)произношение (выговаривание)"симпатиЧный". СимпатиШный говорят (произносят) когда (в тех случаях) хотят (желают) придать (сделать так чтобы) слово звучало (слово слышалось) по детски (не серьезно). Например "симпатиШный котик" (маленький кот или кошка). |
