@@dutchik5107 Absolutely, the pronouncer cannot give any information that is not on the card. I guess I was just surprised that the contestant was asking about information that was not on the pronouncer's card.
@@bendu49100 That could be the case, but the Scripps National Spelling Bee is an incredibly high-stakes U.S. national spelling bee, where contestants prepare for years to compete in. Everyone there is highly motivated to win, and will take any edge they can to understand the asked word. Therefore, they are motivated to ask any question they are allowed to before they attempt to spell it.

@@anliqi7750 Exactly, because the way he pronounced it, we would never know if it is a single L or a double L, since they would pronounce it the same way.
She was nervous but she’s extremely clever asking questions to confirm the word while writing it on her hand bc writing words have less spelling mistakes 👏
@@Tiltproof just a way to enable your memory. Same thing than looking up when you try to remember something, just a habit she took when using her memory and focusing on it
It always fascinated me The fact that English is so detached from his alphabet that you can actually have a competition where the goal is to guess how a word is spelled based on how it is pronounced… it is so weird
Right? It's so much better and easier in languages like Turkish where you directly read what you see. Even though I was #1 in middle school in English spelling bee contest in my school, I think all this pronounciation nonsense is just a hindrance.
I love the turkish language for that reason. But the negative side effect is, that turkish people try to pronounce foreign words exactly how they are written and if they „import“ a word into their language, they change the spelling. For example meeting converts to miting
@@poeticalllarmy7855 Humm yess it’s just that we use more « aiguillette » to describe the chicken thing so it would be easier to refer the word to this description to know how to spell it While for avocat , the 2 works quite well because everyone easily identify an avocat to the person and the fruit
@@theofabregue6407 oh yes it’s just that not a lot of people know this while the fish thing is more known so it would be more logic if it would be the 1 definition
@@Amylovesvodka except it's a word used to describe a cutting process for making thin slices out of any kind of meat. But I give you the point on the fact that chicken is the most common meat to be cut in that way, veal aiguillettes are good too but less common in groceries.
She actually went to my middle school (I didn’t know her personally as she was two years older) but it was really cool to have all the news stations at the school and we had a huge assembly to congratulate her. It was Rosa International Middle School in NJ.
Something about a spelling bee just makes me so happy. Every child there has worked their ass off developing niche and specific skills that are SO SO difficult. And they're all so nervous! And their big smiles when they get one right. It honestly makes me so happy to see.
@@ethancannongonzalez2828 I don't really agree. The spelling itself isnt super useful, but you gain a LOT of other useful skills in learning how to spell well. You learn research, etymology, language and studying skills from learning to spell competitively. Sure none of these kids are going to spell for a living, but the vast majority of kids don't become professional athletes either, that doesnt mean the skills they learn playing sports aren't important.
It's derived from the Latin aculus, meaning needle, via the French aiguille (not aiglette, which means eaglet!). In English, an aiglet is the hard bit at the end of your shoelaces - often made of metal in older types of lacing. Aiguillette is the braided loops that end in a dangling aiglet, found on military uniforms. In cookery, it just means a long thin strip, presumably resembling military braid in some loose fashion. Here endeth the etymology lesson.
La phonétique est pas du tout construit pareil, la sonorité "ui" ainsi que le "gue" n'est pas très intuitive pour les anglophones. Assemble les deux et ils transforme aiguille en aigouille. Bref c'est comme si un chinois se moquait de toi parce que t'es incapable de prononcer des sonorités que tu n'utilise jamais, ta remarque est pas des plus intelligente.

What the hell even will u study? Spelling? There like thousand of words with rly hard Spelling and the rule keeps changing. U can't remember all of them
As a french speaker i was like « go girl that’s easy », but the man’s pronunciation is kinda tricky 😂 Aiguillette also mean for us small chicken breast Aiguillette de poulet
It's funny how spelling challenges are a thing in English speaking countries. It wouldn't make sense in Spanish because the language is completely phonetic.
My sister asked me to spell “ pneumonoultramicroscopiccilivolcanoconiosis” I did it with no mistakes but I can’t spell words like this on spelling bees!
@@wion.80 the part cili comes from the word silicon so technically the meaning is right and I’m guessing the it’s a lung disease that comes from inhaling volcano silica? Honestly what’s the point of naming it “ Pneumonoultramicroscopicilivolcanoconiosis”
I wouldn't Know what they were talking about until they mention it comes from French. It is pronounced----- eg_ee_yet----- (aiguillette) direved from ----eg_ee_y---- (aigille) not ----eg_oo_let----. The kid seems to pronounce -----aiguille better than he can.
Tho the u isn't silent, eh-gu-ee-yet would be closer. The french u sound doesn't existe in English so that's part of the trouble they have to pronounce it.

This girl is so amazing. I am going to be in my district’s spelling bee. I am a 5th grader who won my class spelling bee of 20 kids, and I won second place in my school spelling bee with the 20 middle schoolers. Wish me luck, it’s on January 19th!
Imagine how much more productive, educated and relaxed we could be in a society that has no need for spelling bees, because we use a logical, consistent writing system?
I love how English speakers don't stop at having completely arbitrary pronounciation of letters and syllabus but for these contests they even go out of their ways to insert words in a foreign language that they can't pronounce correctly. This goes straight up with that other judge asking to spell "negus" while pronouncing it as the n word
Not true at all. The second part, at least. A very small number of languages have a high grapheme-to-phoneme and phoneme-to-grapheme correspondence. Even fewer have true phonemic orthography. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography#Comparison_between_languages
the amount of questions she is asking”does it come from the french blah blah and then repeatedly asking whether it comes from french or not so annoying lmao

You'd have to be both a French and English speaker to be able to spell it from that guy's pronunciation.
Same💀
@@anliqi7750 Exactly, because the way he pronounced it, we would never know if it is a single L or a double L, since they would pronounce it the same way.

Nah even then, with the double L not being well pronounced makes it even harder.

English is not really a coherent language but the merging of 3-4 languages with no real rules on the structure of the word and its pronunciation.
Right? It's so much better and easier in languages like Turkish where you directly read what you see. Even though I was #1 in middle school in English spelling bee contest in my school, I think all this pronounciation nonsense is just a hindrance.
Yes, it's a beautiful, fascinating language.
I love the turkish language for that reason. But the negative side effect is, that turkish people try to pronounce foreign words exactly how they are written and if they „import“ a word into their language, they change the spelling.
For example meeting converts to miting
This is a French word 💀
As a Frenchman I can assure you that some native speakers would have spelled that incorrectly! She nailed it.
His pronunciation was questionable
@@Roy-sr6gs he's not supposed to pronounce it the French way. He said it the way it would be said in English.
Honestly in French "aiguillette "is more a chicken snack than that
And an avocat is more of a fruit than a Lawyer.

she’s right about the derivatives being the french word for peak “aiguille” idk why that wasn’t on the judge’s paper
not enough documentation maybe
Because aiguille is needle not peak
