question that I'm finally getting to how do I say the word qualitative meaning

descriptive data that measures qualities versus quantitative which is countable

data that measures amounts so let's go ahead and look at these words

qualitative and quantitative we're going to break these down into syllables and

hopefully make it a little bit easier for you good news the last three

syllables are exactly the same so let's start there

let's start in the middle here atay atay we're gonna have that schwa syllable

there schwa syllable super short unstressed relaxed mouth uh always link

it and connect it to the syllable before and the syllable after so for here we're

gonna connect it to the TAY and to do that you're going to touch the tip of

your tongue to the back of your top front teeth and then add that a and to

do that open your mouth and then move to a smile at a atay atay and then next

we're gonna end with div again touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your

top front teeth for that D short I with the relaxed mouth ih and then end with

the vvv sound voice box is on so your throat is vibrating and moving and you're

gently biting the inside or the outside of your bottom lip and that air just

moves out okay not spending a whole lot of time on this ending cause that's usually

not what the situation is or the problem for most people so we have a tative a

tative a tative you can see we're stressing that tay syllable all right

where does the confusion come in the beginning of course all right so we have

qual and the other word is Kwan now let's start with the qual to do this

your lips are going to be rounded for that w but you're not going to be saying

it you're going to start with a k and to do that tip of your tongue is in

the bottom of your mouth back of your tongue is pulled up kw kw and you're

gonna then add that oh vowel wall wall think about saying the word wall like

the wall behind me and then end by touching the tip of your tongue to the

back of your top front teeth for that l qual qual gonna hold that l a little

tiny bit while that air comes out of your mouth to make sure you really say

that l sound qual qual now for Kwan what you're going

to do is you're going to do the exact same thing but this time the air is

going to come out of your nose for that N Kwan kwan instead of out of the mouth

for the qual qual so it's qual Quan Qual Quan now you do have an option here some

people do say quant and they really add that T there to differentiate but I do

hear especially in more conversational and connected speech people dropping

that T and saying Quanah tative so let's put those all together we have

qualitative qualitative qualitative and quantitative quantitative quantitative

you can also say quantitative if you want that's totally fine and let's try

those again qualitative quantitative qualitative quantitative the scientists

collect both qualitative and quantitative data give it a try
