pronuciation of "gu"

[Siegfried Zaytsev]

I understand that "gu" is pronounced as [gw].
So would the following be correct pronunciations of the forms of distinguō?
distinguit [dis'tingwit] (3rd person singular present active)
distinguitur [dis'tingwitur] (3rd person singular present passive)
distinguuntur [distin'gwuntur] (3rd person plural present passive)

 

[Godmy]

Not entirely, but you're close. Read the sticky thread in this section, it mentions ngu- too: THREAD: pronunciation-of-qu-restored-pronunciation


Edit: But for all practical purposes, you can read it as you proposed, it is indeed close (=acceptable).
