ghjkl Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Do you pronounce them both ways? I naturally use both ways to pronounce these words but I never really thought why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangeor Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I just use whichever sounds right at the moment. I tend to use thuh more often though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathdrow Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 It depends on the context, in a more sophisticated sounding sentence, or something more formal, I pronounce it as thee, and in something casual, and for the most part, I pronounce it as thuh.

RpgGamer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 When beginning a sentence "a" becomes AY. Anywhere else, "a" is "uh". When "the" is just about always "thuh". ONly to be pronounced "thee" when spelled that way.  Quote  Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic.

tripsis Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I say "thuh" and I'm PRETTY sure I always say "uh," though I may say "ay" occasionally.

doomy Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Either, depends I suppose on what'll sound better/roll off tongue easier.Though I definately use 'uh' alot more. I tend to use "thee" and "ay" when I'm making the sentense up as I go along, when I don't know what I'll say next.

That's true actually. It's usually followed by 'the erm...' or something to that effect. I use 'thuh' normally though. I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog].

Abc1230 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thee apple, thee orange, thuh picture... I guess I use thee for words that start with vowels? The only time I use ay is when I'm trying to articulate. I think uh is just easier to say than ay.  YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_sunny Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Here in Texas, where we ride horses to school, we usually say 'thuh' and alternate between 'aye and 'uh' (depends on how easy the sentence is too say, generally we tend to go the lazier way). By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

champion Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I thought you were supposed to use "thee" and "ay" before words with starting with vowels. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thuh and uh. :)Â I'll use ay occasionally though. I use "eh" much more often :P "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will H Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Normally, you use 'thee' before words starting with vowels and 'thuh' before words starting with consonants, similar to 'a' and 'an'. Â As for 'a', people usually say 'uh' which nearly flows into the next word ('uh') for speed, but sometimes say 'ay' so that it causes a break mid-sentence for emphasis and effect when appropriate. The exception is when saying the letter or just mentioning the word itself, when it's always 'ay'. ~ W ~Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thee before a vowel, thuh before a consonant. Uh almost all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
