👋Приветствую! Скучно is spelled with ЧН but how is it pronounced? 🔻Words containing the ЧН combination are usually pronounced as they are spelled. However, there are exceptions: • Конечно [ka-nesh-na] - of course • Скучно [skush-na] - boring • Нарочно [na-rosh-na] - deliberately • Яичница [yi-ish-ni-tsa] - fried eggs • Скворечник [skva-resh-nik] - birdhouse • Пустячный [pus-tyash-nyj - trivial, insignificant 🔻In feminine patronymics ending in -ична, it's pronounced like this: Никитична [ni-ki-tish-na], Ильинична [il'-yi-nish-na]. ❗️However, скучно can also be pronounced like [skuch-na] not [skush-na], according to the pronunciation in St Petersburg. #reading_rules #spelling 😎RCRussian | Support | Boost
