Ho-Oh September 4th, 2009 11:04 PM

Can you roll your R's?
 
I totally just figured this out like two days ago... although it took me like three months. But I can now and it's awesome o3o;

So can you? :D

Zet September 4th, 2009 11:06 PM

No, no I cannot roll my R's though I wish I could since it could be of some help in the future.

s0nido September 4th, 2009 11:15 PM

It's a necessity in Arabic, and my own language, too, so yes, yes I can. :D

Synaesthesia September 4th, 2009 11:16 PM

Yes, I can roll my R's. :3 And when I go to a country where it's often done, then I pick it up and do it all the time too. Like when I went to Italy. n_n

Citrinin September 4th, 2009 11:26 PM

Yes, I can roll my Rs. :3

Mitchman September 4th, 2009 11:39 PM

I can roll em only if I have another constant in front.

Camisado September 4th, 2009 11:56 PM

I can't roll my R's, probably due to my Westcountry dialect, which sort of means I over-pronounce them.

This is probably why I was never all that fantastic at Spanish. =(

Pazuzu September 5th, 2009 12:54 AM

Yes I can, because its totally necessary if you want to be a pirate matey, yarr.

Kazukii September 5th, 2009 1:34 AM

No, I can't.. I'd probably have to practise for a while XD;

Wings Don't Cry September 5th, 2009 1:39 AM

I can roll my R's, however I can't say 'three', people always say I;m saying 'free', I honestly can't tell the difference. I didn't even know I could roll my R's until someone asked me how I could roll my R's, it just came naturally.

Guillermo September 5th, 2009 2:07 AM

I've.. never actually tried to roll my R's.

And I just tried.. and no, I can't. :]

seeker September 5th, 2009 6:18 AM

OMG yes i can, it's like my greatest talent.
Siggy has Rrrrr wars with me sometimes xD
As for Vivvian.. She likes it a bit too much D;

Captain Fabio September 5th, 2009 6:27 AM

Yes I can.
Only on a slope though...

Firebird306 September 5th, 2009 6:32 AM

Sadly I've tried and can't. It'd be epic to know how to though. =(

Maybe I should find a site or somewhere where I can try and practice. ^.^ Meh probably a natural talent, you can or you can't. >.<

xxFrozenFlower September 5th, 2009 6:40 AM

Err, wait, is that what you use in languages like English or what you use in languages like Arabic and Spanish?
Either way...
I CAN! ;D
Thanks to my first language of French, and my favorite language of English! =P
So I can pronounce 'R's both way... whatever their term is XD;;

Rokusasu September 5th, 2009 12:31 PM

Haha, I can't at all, and make strange noises when I try. :P

ShinjisLover September 5th, 2009 12:42 PM

Yes, I can roll my R's. And I love when other people do it to me. <3 Yum.

Taemin September 5th, 2009 12:49 PM

Man.. sometimes these topics make me go 'wtf? o__O', but then directly after.. I find myself answering them.

No, I can't roll my R's.

I have managed a few times, but normally, I fail at it.

Virtual Chatot September 5th, 2009 12:49 PM

I can do that and do all the French/Russian/Hebrew guttural noises :3

michele September 5th, 2009 12:50 PM

yes, i could since i was little. but it took me so long to get it - i actualy just used to pronounce "r" over and over until i finally got it. xD

Tudj September 5th, 2009 3:34 PM

I can't, and its really bad because I am learning Italian at my school and it makes it hard because I am the ONLY person who cannot in my whole grade.

Charizard★ September 5th, 2009 4:44 PM

No >.<" I want to though lol

Zero° September 5th, 2009 4:48 PM

I've been rrroling my r's since I was able to talk..mostly because of my heritage XD

Halcyon September 5th, 2009 5:34 PM

Are-arel-arrearel

Yes, I can, it is rrreally fun! :P

Corvus of the Black Night September 5th, 2009 5:35 PM

Yes. I learned how to do it when I studied Russian a few years back.

My sister and I have competitions over who can do it longer. It's like revving up a boat's engine.

Michii September 5th, 2009 5:38 PM

I can roll my r's very well. Although, I remember a time when I couldn't roll them at all. It was second grade and I was at school late at night for girl scouts. In the time before we had our meeting, we were able to converse out in the hallway beside the classroom that we used. There'd always be Mr. Lopez, our janitor cleaning the floors. I remember that we started talking to him because he had a pet rat chilling on his shoulder. It was his buddy, and his name was Charlie. Anyway, my friends and I would always go up to him to say hi and to pet Charlie. We noticed how he rolled his r's and tried also. Some of the other girls got it, but I couldn't. I sounded like a drunk person little control over their tounge. Mr. Lopez tried to teach me, and I eventually got it. THE END :D

Spinor September 5th, 2009 6:13 PM

Well... if you can't roll your Rrrrs God knows what the hell you are if you parents say you are Mexican and not adopted.

I am Mexican and I can roll my R so that assures I'm not alien :D

alisaie September 5th, 2009 6:31 PM

I'm half-Hispanic and I can't roll my R's. ;__; it's sad.

Star★Seeker September 5th, 2009 6:36 PM

Yes, I can. I feel no need to explain why, but if you want to know, check my location. :P

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 7th, 2009 9:08 AM

I'm Hispanic so I have to know how to roll my R's but unfortunately I dont know how to roll my R's
I'm a pathetic Boricua


:t354:TG

xxxLatiasxxx September 7th, 2009 11:35 AM

No I don't think I can roll my R's.

Lynnx September 7th, 2009 12:20 PM

Yes, I can. It's fun and it's loud and it works wonders when you want to annoy people.

PsychoJigglypuff September 7th, 2009 2:32 PM

I can, but sometimes it sounds like I'm coughing up a hairball. >.>

emoBill™ September 7th, 2009 3:01 PM

I can, kind of. It tends to mess up, though. Because I roll them for too long :pink_giggle:

.little monster September 7th, 2009 4:53 PM

Not in Spanish, but I can in Russian. (b'')b

Azonic September 7th, 2009 5:04 PM

Omg we were talking about this for like the last week at school. xD;

I can. My friend can't. He almost choked one time trying.

Sammi September 7th, 2009 8:37 PM

I cannot for the life of me. No matter how hard I try, I just can't. Then again, I don't think anyone's actually taught me how to do it properly. I couldn't even begin to guess how to roll my r's right now. D:

Then again, I've never learned a language where I've had to roll them. *shrug*

Hiidoran September 7th, 2009 8:56 PM

I've always been able to roll my r's.

Even as a child I would just mindlessly start doing that just for the heck of it. I don't think my parents much approved of it, but they probably just chalked it up to a childish short attention-span. Either way, who has a pretty good Spanish accent now, eh? >:D

A few of you already know this from the whole "arrara" fiasco I regrettably started.

Aurafire September 8th, 2009 4:09 AM

Yes I can, quite well actually. Too bad I don't know Spanish ^___^

Melody September 8th, 2009 11:37 AM

I can roll my 'r's when I'm speaking spanish, I even tend to have a perfect accent. BUT!!! I don't like to speak spanish, the language itself drives me nuts for some reason. (it's all that pointless conjugation, even japanese conjugation is simpler! >O)

Pokepal17 September 9th, 2009 4:58 PM

Yeah, I can roll my Rs. It's pretty cool, I think.

diamondpearl876 September 9th, 2009 5:20 PM

No, I can't, no matter how hard I try. .__.; And I speak French, and some words require a little bit of rolling of the R's... so it sounds really bad because I can't do it. Oh well.

Yingxue September 9th, 2009 6:07 PM

I habitually roll my R's. Especially when I say something like "water". I don't know why. I've been doing it for so long.

Caelus September 9th, 2009 7:33 PM

I nailed it once or twice but usually I either don't try hard enough or I just don't care.
And actually the last time I did it was probably two years ago so I'm not sure if I can still pull it off.

Skymin September 10th, 2009 2:31 PM

NO BUT I'VE BEEN TRYING SO LONG.

but i can make that dripping sound :D

Ivysaur September 10th, 2009 11:56 PM

In Spanish, we have loads of words that require rolling r, so yeah.

Pointless conjugation? *Shakes fist at John*

Xebelleon September 11th, 2009 12:03 AM

I caaaaan't...

Audio link?

All I can do is: R-r-r-roll up the r-r-r-rim to win.

Haza September 17th, 2009 2:20 AM

Yeah its easy but when you focus on doing it, its not so easy.

KUROXFAI September 17th, 2009 5:48 PM

i can roll my r's only if it's down hill though >_< hahahhhahah
yes i can roll my r's and i have been able to since i could talk... I roll them in spanish even though most times it's not helpful...

Pave Low September 18th, 2009 11:00 AM

Its very easy to me...I could do it ages ago!

Soul Eater September 18th, 2009 1:11 PM

Actually... no i can't. :| I've tried and tried and tried. But I have never ONCE been able to roll my R's. :< So, yeah. XD

The Apprentice™ September 18th, 2009 1:15 PM
