What is it called when you pronounce s?

There isn't a specific name for "pronouncing s".

However, you can describe how you pronounce "s" in different ways:

* "Saying s" - This is the most straightforward way to describe it.

* "Producing the /s/ sound" - This uses the phonetic symbol for the sound.

* "Articulating the alveolar fricative" - This uses the technical term for the sound.

* "Using the sibilant consonant" - This refers to the hissing quality of the sound.

The best description will depend on the context and your audience.
