Tim's pronounciation workshop, 4- Two different ways to pronounce the English word 'the'

4- Two different ways to pronounce the English word 'the'

Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation workshop. Here I'm gonna show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside. You know, I've been thinking about decorating my workshop - bringing a little bit of colour to it.

But I can't decide between blue or orange. Hmm. Let's ask the people of London.

I prefer the blue one to the orange one. I prefer the blue one to the orange one. I prefer the blue one to the orange one.

That sounds pretty comprehensive. Blue it is. I'll go in and get the paints.

Ooh, but first, let's talk about pronunciation. Now, everybody used the definite article - the - and in each case it wasn't stressed, but the pronunciation was slightly different. I'm gonna go in and get the paints: you listen again and see if you can hear the two different ways the definite article is pronounced. I'll see you inside. I prefer the blue one to the orange one. I prefer the blue one to the orange one. I prefer the blue one to the orange one. If it's not stressed, the pronunciation of the word 'the' will change depending on the word that follows. If the next word begins in a consonant sound, it's pronounced /ðə/. I prefer the blue one. But, if the next word begins in a vowel sound, it's pronounced /ðɪː/. I prefer the orange one.

And you might remember from a previous video that when the sound /ɪː/ is followed by a vowel sound, you might also hear a small linking /j/ in between. I prefer the orange one. Here are some more examples:

In a restaurant, I always order the apple pie. I think the autumn is the best time of year. The earlier I get up, the happier I am. It's the one over there. So you've heard the examples, and now it's your turn. Listen and repeat.

I'll see you soon. Bye bye! Right - let's get cracking on this painting. Now, you know the problem with these paint pots is that the lids aren't always the easiest to open. Ahh! Owww! Eeeshh!

Oh, aber lassen Sie uns zuerst über die Aussprache sprechen. Nun, alle haben den bestimmten Artikel - der - verwendet, und in jedem Fall wurde er nicht betont, aber die Aussprache war leicht unterschiedlich. おお、でもその前に、発音について話しましょう。さて、皆が定冠詞「the」を使用しましたが、その場合は強調されず、発音は少し異なっていました。 Ôi, nhưng trước tiên, hãy nói về phát âm. Bây giờ, mọi người đều sử dụng mạo từ xác định - the - và trong mỗi trường hợp nó không được nhấn mạnh, nhưng phát âm thì hơi khác nhau. 首先，我们来谈谈发音。现在，每个人都使用了定冠词--the，每个人都没有强调它，但发音略有不同。 I'm gonna go in and get the paints: you listen again and see if you can hear the two different ways the definite article is pronounced. I'll see you inside. |||||||||||||||||||||||mạo từ|||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||定冠詞||||||| Ich gehe rein und hole die Farben: Du hörst noch einmal zu und versuchst herauszufinden, ob du die zwei verschiedenen Arten, den bestimmten Artikel auszusprechen, hörst.
