A bar over a vowel, also known as a macron, typically indicates a long vowel sound in phonetics. It shows that the vowel is pronounced for a longer duration than a short vowel.
A bar over a vowel, also known as a macron, generally indicates that the vowel is long or pronounced for a longer duration than a regular vowel. It is commonly used in various language systems, such as Latin or Hawaiian, to distinguish between long and short vowel sounds.
The down-curved symbol is called a breve (from Latin brevis for brief).(The bar that indicates long vowels is called a macron.)
When a vowel has two dots over it (diaeresis), it indicates that the vowel is to be pronounced as a separate syllable rather than combined with the previous vowel. This is common in some languages, like German and Dutch, to show that the two vowels should be pronounced individually.
A bar or a line over a particular Roman numeral indicates that it is to be multiplied by a thousand.
In Roman numerals, an "X" with a bar over it represents 10,000. The bar indicates that the value is being multiplied by a thousand.
The accent placed over a vowel is called an accent mark or diacritic. It indicates a specific pronunciation or stress on that vowel within a word. Different languages use accent marks in various ways to modify the sound of vowels.
The line above a vowel, also known as a macron, indicates that the vowel is pronounced as a long vowel sound. This means the vowel is held for a longer duration when speaking.
The word "pilot" contains a short vowel sound. The "o" in pilot is pronounced as "ah", which indicates a short vowel sound.
A bar over a Roman numeral indicates that the number is to be multiplied 1000 times. M represents 1000, so an M with a bar over it would be one million
The long vowel bar is called a macron. The curved short vowel mark is a breve.
