00 I just came to know that there are two different pronunciations for 01 i 01 b 01 u 00 the 02 u 02 b 02 i 00 depending upon whether 01 i 01 b 01 u 00 the 02 u 02 b 02 i 00 comes before consonant or vowel. 01 b 01 i 01 u 00 the 02 u 02 i 02 b 00 will sound like 01 b 00 dee 02 b 00 when it is followed by vowel and it will sound like 01 b 00 daa 02 b 00 when it is followed by consonant. 01 b 00 Right? 02 b 0-

" And in many cases before a vowel, when I'm speaking quickly, it's more like th' blended with the next sound. " But if I am speaking slowly and enunciating, then it would rhyme with dee. 0-

0 The way I say it, it's more like "duh" than "daa." And in many cases before a vowel, when I'm speaking quickly, it's more like th' blended with the next sound. 01 i 00 The apple 02 i 00 will sound like "thapple." But if I am speaking slowly and enunciating, then it would rhyme with dee. 0-

Hi,
Good question.
Yes there are two different ways to pronounce 'the':
stressed th'ee; unstressed before a consonant th'uh; unstressed before a vowel th'ee.
Cheers

At the age of 7, in second grade, I learned this rule.
The (pronounced as "thee") is used before a vowel or a vowel sound: thee apple, thee orchestra, thee NFL (NFL stands for National Fooball League), but since the N is pronounced as "en" this is a vowel sound. So it's thee NFL. But "thuh" National Football League.
During the Academy Awards I almost turned off the televisio
