I am a native speaker. The pronunciation difference between those two words, even though one doesn’t actually exist, is only the vibration of vocal cords in the final sound. It’s like belief and believe.

f is the voiceless labiodental fricative and v is the voiced labiodental fricative.

Basically for roofs your vocal cords don’t vibrate on the final f sound. For rooves your vocal cords vibrate on the final v sound.

All these lice and misinformation…smh

ox - oxen
box - boxen
equinox - equinoxen
xerox - xeroxen

Yes but wouldn’t those children’s nationality be Japanese?

If I can’t sleep I get out of bed and play video games until I fall asleep. Sometimes that means a full night of gaming but most of the time I get tired after an hour or so.
