Best Answer

Soft consonants typically have something to do with C and G. Soft C means when the C makes an S sound like "circle", "city", "cite", "cement", "cinema", "cycle", etc. Soft G means when the G makes an J sound like "gyroscope", "giraffe", "germ", "giant", "general", "gentle", "ginger", etc.

What is the difference between hard g and soft g?

The hard G makes almost like a K sound, but in a voiced sound or a voiced K, which is the general pronunciation and soft G makes a J sound. For the hard and soft consonants, we use C and G and these consonants sound similar but the C is the voiceless consonant while the G is the voiced consonant. If the G is followed by an E, I or Y, then it'll soften and make a J sound. If the G is followed by any other letters or at the word ending, then it'll remain hard.
