Something make me confused. Why Счастли́во pronounce as schees-lee-va not scha-lee-va? Why Сча pronounce as Schee?
Hello Alan,
When A is unstressed, sometimes it can be pronounced as И. At the same time, there is nothing wrong saying schas-lee-va. The native speakers usually pronounce it something in between А and И.
cool!!
