Romanian Minimal Pairs Examples?
I have recently come across a study by Japanese teachers teaching English, in that many Japanese people learning English have difficulty differing "Rock" and "Lock" - referred to as a Minimal Pair.
English examples include "Pea" and "Bee" - recognising the difference between P and B, another of "Bard" and "Bare" - to notice the difference in the A sound changing.
I have found a couple of examples in Romanian...
rău - râu
țări - țâri
văr - vâr
mână - mină
pâr - păr - par
You may have notices all of these examples use î/â and I am trying to find as many with any other vowels or consonants to help my practice. Can anyone please provide any other examples you can think of.
