A few weeks ago, my one (young) (newlywed) (Thai) coworker asked me to say the word "Netflix," so that she could hear the tones that people use when they say it.
Like, seriously.
Now, whenever I heard the word "Netflix," I can't help but hear that it's always like two low tones in a row.
Like, what the f*ck is up with that?
And, do a lot of other (English) words have tonal patterns that speakers always use without knowing it?
