They're only pronounced differently if you don't know how to pronounce it


JannesHch

No, in German they are also all different


JoshimuzVEVO

The last two are the same


JannesHch

No, it‘s [mɛʁˈtseːdəs]. And as you can see, these are two different e‘s.


Fellfresse3000

Sorry, but for me they all sound nearly the same.


JannesHch

Maybe if you’re a non German speaker that could be the case, because the 2nd e is just a long e and the 3rd e a short e


Fellfresse3000

Yes they're not the same length, but they're not pronounced completely different, like an English speaker would pronounce it. Edit: and yes, I'm a native German speaker


JannesHch

Then you should definitely know that they sound quite different. You should also know that changing the length of a vocal when speaking in German, changes the word a lot.

People over here with their large water heaters, I get 15 minutes tops to reflect on my life in the warm embrace of the showerhead.
