 Describing consonants
In a fricative consonant, the articulators involved in the constriction approach get close enough to each other to create a turbluent airstream.
Pay attention to what you are doing with your tongue when you say the first consonant of [lif] leaf.
Which consonant you're pronouncing depends on where in the vocal tract the constriction is and how narrow it is. It also depends on a few other things, such as whether the vocal folds are vibrating and whether air is flowing through the nose.
