    You think Ukrainian Борщ (written stupidly in English as “Borscht”) is hard to pronounce, but actually, you all know how to pronounce this щ letter, if you pronounce “question” like “kwesh-chun”, this “sh-ch” is exactly as we Ukrainians pronounce the letter “щ”. So how could anyone write “Borscht” with “shch” sound? It’s Borshch!

    To borscht or not to borshch, that is the borstion!

    I don’t think about it but am told that sound-wise it’s mid-I-or-E due to my NZ accent.

      Yeah, I wrote it like “tin” since you’re probably a mutant if you say it like “tee on”

          I mostly hear ‘tin’ from women who tend to lisp slightly on the “kwess” and it literally comes out sounding like “kwess-tin.” I hear this all the time IRL and on TV. I was hoping to find out if other people notice this or not, but damn, y’all hyper fixated on me writing “tin.” Anyway, it has always seemed odd to me since the way I say it does sound closer to kwesh-tin, kwess-chin, or kwess-chun.

            If everyone focused on that then it’s a you problem. Also, use IPA, it’s easier to understand.
