Speech & Pronunciation

In / get + the/ them/ these/ those

Hi,

In casual fast conversation, how do you pronounce these combinations? The pronunciations in the parenthesis are my proposal. The underlined letters in each row are the same.

in + the (inne?)
in + them (innem?)
in + these (inese?)
in + those (inose?)

get + the (gede?)
get + them (gedem?)
get + these (gedese?)
get + those (gedose?)

Thank you very much.

stephenlearnerhow do you pronounce these combinations?
Personally, I pronounce them all fully except the ones with "them". Of those that you listed I do use these two.

innem
gedem
