Speech & Pronunciation

wanna! gonna! gotta!

Hi,
gotta is gah-tuh
gonna is guh-nuh
wanna is wah-nuh, but one of my dict. says it can also be wuh-nuh. Wunna or not wunna, that is the question.

On second thought, I think I hear wah-nuh most of the times, but I wouldn't say I never hear wuh-nuh...
Thanks Emotion: smile

NO wuh-nuh. Let's not forget wudda, cooda, shudda (never written, hence the confusion over u or oo) - vowel sound all like it is in would
