"Que es eso?"

Question

If you were to say "que es eso?" in Spanish, since they link their vowels, would it sound the same as the word "queso"?

Answer 1

Even in the areas where they "tragan"/"comen" las "s", you still have three syllables. it should never end up sounding like "queso".

Answer 2

Probably depends on how lazy the speaker is. Although I am not native spanish I do not believe "que es eso?" will sound like "queso". The words will run together, but you should still be able to hear the syllables, even if it is only slighty heard. Thats my 2 cents...

Answer 3

No, it wouldn´t. I just asked my boyfriend (a native speaker) to read this question and try it out. You can hear the syllables even when slurred out.

Answer 4

I'll take a stab at this. In my opinion, although I am not a native speaker, "qué es" would be the only words available to slur, and even trying to slur the sounds, I do not think that you would arrive at queso.... As I understand it, whenever a, e, o appear next to each other, they are pronounced separately. If those appear next to i or u, you will get a slur (diphthong). As far as I can remember anyway, I can hear the syllables pronounced.

Answer 5

Depends where the speaker is from. Many islanders (Cuba, DR) and some Central Americans "eat" (comen, don't pronounce) the consonant "s" at the end of words. Thus "que e' eso" might sound close to queso for the untrained ear.

Answer 6

Para mí, no. Queso es una sola palabra, Qué es eso, trés palabras distintas

Espero que esto le haya ayudado

Answer 7

Slurred it would still have three syllables:

/keseso/

Answer 8

it more than likely would sounds like cheese but much of what ive learned,and how ive learned is by putting things in context,and using limited vocab to gain general meaning,and later clearer understanding.queesessoquesso
