Привет

This will be a very quick question. I'm finding many words that end with -ого. Some of them, those I was taught at university, I know how to pronounce: with the -ого sounding not like -ogo but rather like -ava.

But those words that I encountered outside my course, I'm not quite sure how to pronounce them. A good example is those two words that make the title of this thread: много and немного. Would they be pronounced "mnova" and "nyemnova" or is the г in those words really pronounced like it usually should be?

Is the -ого ending always pronounced the same way? With the г sounding like a в? Is there a rule of any sort?

Thanks!

Is it possible that it's a v when it's an adjective, but g elsewhere?

Here, it's mnoga and nemnoga.

Thanks! That was fast! :)

There should be a thread dedicated to those quick and short questions. I really don't like creating new threads every time I have a small question!

J'aurais demandé à mon prof d'uni, mais c'est la semaine de lecture. Et ma conscience ne peut supporter l'idée de mal prononcer un mot aussi usité.

No, no, no. They are pronounced as they are spelled. These were among the first words I
learned! All though to me it sounds like an e at the end. I mean not an English e just a
regular e.

A regular russian unstressed o. In IPA, that would be a ə.

Whether or not they were the first words you learned is irrelevant -- if you have any meaningful information to contribute, please rephrase your answer as it is currently incomprehensible. As a reminder, FrostBlast was asking about the pronunciation of г between vowels.

Again, I am no authority whatsoever on Russian, but I wonder if stress may not have a role to play -- Oga vs [i/a]vO (=g after stressed vowel, v before).
