Advanced learners of English may not understand why we have chosen to contrast the two words, but it turns out that beginners sometimes confuse the pronunciation of these two words:

PAPER /ˈpeɪpə/ is the white material we use to write on and it is what books are printed on.

PEPPER /ˈpɛpə/ is a pungent hot-tasting powder prepared from dried and ground peppercorns and used as a spice.

Mind your pronunciation!

Početnicima izgovor ove dve reči ponekad predstavlja izazov:

PAPER /ˈpeɪpə/ = papir

PEPPER /ˈpɛpə/ = biber

Pazite na izgovor!
