Speech & Pronunciation
Have - Are - Do - You
0 Hi, 02 br
00 some strange doubts... 02 br
02 br
01 b 00 Have you 02 b 00 seen Tom? 02 br
01 b 00 Are you 02 b 00 sure of that? 02 br
01 b 00 Do you 02 b 00 have a pencil? 02 br
02 br
00 What are the possible ways to pronounce the parts in bold? I would say... 02 br
02 br
01 u 00 Have 02 u 00 is always /hæv/ (a as in cat) and the h is never dropped. Or... is something else possible? (like "uh-v", schwa and no h?) 02 br
02 br
01 u 00 Are 02 u 00 is always /ɑr/ (like a stressed "are"). Or... is it possible to say "uh-r", like an unstressed "are"? 02 br
02 br
01 u 00 Do 02 u 00 is usually "D-uh" /də/, with a schwa, or /dʊ/. It is "doo" /du/ when talking really slowly. 02 br
02 br
01 u 00 You 02 u 00 is either /yə/ (y-uh), /yʊ/, or /yu/ (yoo), but I never know what to choose. I think it's usually /yu/ (yoo), unless you are talking really fast and it becomes y-uh /yə/ or moves halfway in between, that is /yʊ/. 02 br
02 br
00 What do you think? Thank you in advance. 05 0 010id 1

0 You can say [ dj@ ] for "do you" in that sentence; and [ j@ ] for "you", but you always say the "h" in have, and pronounce "are" as /Ar\/. 0-

0 Hi, 02 br
00 so, in sentences like those, "Have" is always /hæv/, "Are" is always /ɑr/... 02 br
00 ..but what about "Do" and "you"? The vowels can be schwas, but do you think they actually take a variable sound, which can vary from a pure schwa /ə/ to the form they take when they are stressed, /u/? 02 br
00 So "do you" could be /də jə/, or /də jʊ/, or /də ju/, or som

0 Hi, I just tried to pay attention to the vowel in "you" and it seems to me that, in general, /jʊ/ is the most common pronunciation (it is more frequently heard). 02 br
00 Maybe I didn't listen very well, but... that's how I hear it. 0-
