Why don't we pronounce the second c in connecticut?

English
1 answer:
masha68 [24]3 years ago
7 0

The original name is from the Mohegan word "quinnitukqut" which means "at the long tidal river."

The name was transliterated sort of poorly (see: Nippon vs. Japan for another example... among thousands) by the English speaking folks of the time and it became Connecticut when spelled but the pronunciation was a little harder to fudge, it seems.

Test m. write TP of the question is sensible and thought provoking and uninteresting.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

1. Every person in this world has his own personality, and each person can act and behave the way his brain tells him to do, our human brain has Botha good side and a bad side, which leaves us to the point we're we have to pick the best side and use it, so this means that every person is good enough in his own way

2.if you think about it, it wouldn't be so okay, wearing a face mask is always important because sometimes the virus spreads in air particles, so for me I think that we should always wear a mask

3.for me, I'm not infected, but I always wear my mask, some people don't take the virus seriously and don't wear their masks, but most people are wearing their masks

4.we can only stop it by having good hygiene and wear our face masks and keep social destancing, if every human follow these rules, I assume that we'll stop this pandemic easily

5.the biggest challenge is the challenge of keeping your mask on, even if it makes us feel uncomfortable, ateast feeling uncomfortable is so much better than losing your beloved ones

P. S. I really answered these questions by heart so I hope u give me the brainliest :)

At the beginning of the Divine Comedy, Dante the Pilgrim believes he is in mortal danger and experiences extreme mental distress
myrzilka [38]
Well, the first reason is that back then, in Dante's time, "comedy" didn't really mean funny. In this case, it meant that even though the whole story/poem is full of despair and torture and torment, it actually ends  with a happy ending. Back in Dante's era, this meant that instead of being a tragedy, this epic poem was considered a comedy. 
Consider Shakespeare's work Romeo and Juliet. It ends with the two young lovers dying, right? That is a tragedy. There is no happiness there. But at the end of Inferno, Dante the Pilgrim actually succeeds in his goals.  <span />

Why is the World Cup soccer match shown at Maddison Square Garden important to the author?
serg [7]

Answer:

Haiti plays against Italy and it is the first time he feels the connection to Haiti and he is for the first time proud of being Haitian.

Explanation:

"Bonee Annee" is a personal essay written by Jean-Pierre Benoit. It tells us a story about a Haitian family that moves from Haiti to the United States because their country is run by a dictator Papa Doc. The author moves to USA at a very young age, so he has no special connection to any of the two countries. He lives in America doing all what an average person does there, but also he experiences Haitian culture while living with his family who kept Haitian way of living. After Papa Doc and then his son Bebe Doc left the country, the family returns to Haiti, but the author is not happy about it because he is used to living in America, he has friends, school and all.

To get back to the question, the World Cup soccer match shown at Madison Square Garden is important to the author because his home country played against Italy and for the first time he felt the connection to his origin and pride of being Haitian.
