Real voices: how native speakers say it

These sentences were read aloud by real people — native Japanese speakers — for the open Mozilla Common Voice project. Listen to how a phrase sounds in real speech: the intonation, the pace, the way words run together. Two speakers mean two different people read it — compare them.

太くても、細くても、それはどちらでも宜い。
ふとくても、ほそくても、それはどちらでもむべい。Whether it's thick or thin, either is fine.
ある程度は図太さも必要
あるていどはずぶとさもひつようA certain thick skin is needed too.
このペンは太いです。
このぺんはふといです。This pen is thick.
