Explanation

To ask for a turn: “Can I have a turn, please?” To agree: “Yes, of course!” To thank: “Thank you.” — “You’re welcome.” The sound g comes from the throat: gorilla, grass, good. The sound h is a light breath: hippo, house, hello. Tongue twister: “A gorilla gets green grapes. A hippo has a hat.”
