Enfoque de Pronunciación
Voiced S /z/ between vowels (sazio, sornione) vs. voiceless S /s/ at word start
Consejo para Hispanohablantes
💡Between two vowels inside a word, S often becomes voiced /z/ (like English 'z'): 'sazio' = /ˈsattsjo/ but many central-northern speakers say /z/ in 'sornione'. At word start, S is always /s/.
¿Sabías que...?
The voicing of intervocalic S varies by region: Tuscans and southerners keep it voiceless, while northerners voice it. Both are considered correct.
