noun

强辅音

A fortis consonant.

Examples :

"In phonetics, the term "fortis" describes a consonant that is pronounced with relatively great articulatory force, such as the /p/ in "pin" compared to the /b/ in "bin"; therefore, "/p/" is often classified as a fortis. "

在语音学中，“fortis”指的是发音时用力相对较大的辅音，例如“pin”中的/p/音，相对于“bin”中的/b/音，因此，/p/音通常被归类为强辅音(fortis)。

adjective

强发音的, 无声的

Strongly articulated (of a consonant), hence voiceless.

Examples :

"While describing the differences between the sounds, the linguistics professor explained that the "p" in "pin" is a fortis consonant because it is pronounced with a strong burst of air and no vocal cord vibration. "

在描述这些发音的区别时，语言学教授解释说，"pin"这个词里的"p"是一个强发音的辅音，因为它在发音时会伴随一股强烈的气流喷出，并且声带不振动，也就是个无声辅音。
