Seraphi Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 It depends on the context I'm using it in and the word that is going to come after it.Sometimes it just sounds wrong to use a certain word before another word, so I just use the other one instead.

Lenin64 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I only use "ay" when I'm emphasising; "It's. A. Big. [bleep]ing. Tank! Of course it'll survive a few rifle rounds!"

Omar Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I thought you were supposed to use "thee" and "ay" before words with starting with vowels.You say an before a vowel, but it's true for thee. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!

Omar Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I was going to say it in a mean way but then I got all nice. It was weird. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny?

Harakiri Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I use both depending on how the word is used in a sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0rd Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 From my understanding "the" is pronounced thee when it precedes a word beginning in a vowel or a syllable that sounds like a pure vowel and pronounced thuh in all other cases. I don't believe there are any rules of pronunciation for "a", however.

warren211 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I usually use "thee" when the noun that follows begins with a vowel (thee apple, thee end). it sounds more right to me than "thuh apple, thuh end". As for a, the only time I use ay is when i need to stress something (usually the number of a thing) like if I say to my friends "our teacher gave us the answer to a test question today". "She gave you the answers to the questions??" "AY question". [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.
