Non tutte le parole che cominciano con
h-

sono aspirate. In alcune non si sente la
h
, ad esempio:
hour
,
honest
.
l o o k !
L’intonazione della frase influisce sul suo significa-
to. Cambiare l’intonazione della frase può cambiare
l’enfasi o, addirittura, il significato, anche se le parole
rimangono invariate.
