Don’t think those are separate letters. Just pronounced differently. I mean, rr is just 2 r’s. Not a new letter. And this isn’t an ß-type case either. Phonetically different, yes. Different letters? Creo que no. Could be wrong, though. Hispanohablantes de Lemmy, corrijanme
In Spanish, up until 1994, “ll” and “ch” were considered distinct letters from the component parts. But “rr” has never been considered distinct from “r,” even though it is pronounced differently, in large part because no words start with “rr” and any word that starts with “r” is pronounced with the rolling R sound.
Aren’t all R’s rolling, though? Some longer and some shorter. I.e. rr and r. Guess I get it, though. Words starting with a single ‘r’ are pronounced like ‘rr’. Interesting on the ‘ll’ and ‘ch’ bits, too. Wasn’t aware ¡Gracias, RAE!
Oh, okay. Sounds similar. Sounds like rolling, but just once. Rolling if you turn off the looping option. I am not a linguist, though, so I don’t know the intricacies of sounds
Found the Spanish speaker (they count rr as a separate letter)
Nope, I can order beer in spanish (no more than 10 at a time) and that’s about it.
Is the limit because you only know number up to 10 or because after that your drunk or a little bit of both?
I only know numbers up to 10
11 is “once” and 12 is “doce”. Now you can order a dozen

No, single r is tapped not rolled. It’s similar but still a different sound

Yes, I think that sums up the difference quite well. If you want to dive into it: this is the single r and this is rr
Thanks, I learned Spanish at school in the the late odds and I guess I confused it. My teacher was quite old so she wasn’t up to date I guess
