I noticed that rule works mostly for the letter t but it also worked for the letter t in asked, how about in the word desks? I dont think i can say it without the k, sounds weird. Thanks!
@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent3 жыл бұрын
Hi Julian - Thanks for your question :) Yes, the Rule of Three can also apply to the /k/ in "desks", so it is OK to say "I bought three dess today" in fast, connected speech. However, the Rule of Three is optional, and some native speakers prefer to always pronounce the /k/ sound in "desks", "asked", etc. It just depends on the preferences of the speaker and how quickly they are speaking. Maybe try listening to "desks" on Youglish.com to see which pronunciation you hear - I'm sure you'll hear both! :)

As an English person, I find this fascinating. In RP (ie "posh") English, the speaker would pronounce the T quite clearly. Most regional accents would also pronounce it, but with much less emphasis. It's very interesting to hear how American English works. We hear it on TV etc a lot of course, but the mechanics are never explained.

The Rule of Three isn't followed 100% of the time, so native speakers can always decide not to use it in their speech, depending on the situation. So in that sense, yes there are exceptions - this rule doesn't have to be followed, but you'll hear it all of the time in the speech of native speakers :) I hope this helped!

In the sentence " I asked her a question" another very interesting thing happens when it comes to pronunciation. In the word HER I noticed the you dropped the /h/ sound. It totally vanishes. It ended up sounding like ER and then the words asked her go together sounding like one word : asster => I asster a question". I noticed americans do that very often : we gotta help her => we gotta helper It's not her fault => it's notter fault. The same thing with the words his and his , him and them. It's not his fault = > it's nottis fault We gotta help him => we gotta helpim . In the word them, you americans often drop the TH end EM becomes UM Just like the beggining sound of the word UMbrella We gotta help them=> we gotta helpum
@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent3 жыл бұрын
Hi Rodrigo - Yes, this is exactly what native speakers are doing! The initial H and TH in pronouns like "him", "her", "his", and "them" are often dropped in fast speech, and this most commonly happens when the pronoun is unstressed. Good ears!! :)

@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent3 жыл бұрын
Hi Tiliuily - Thanks for your comment :) This is a great question because the Rule of Three doesn't apply to these examples. Instead, the final /t/ in "don't" is typically pronounced as an unreleased T or a glottal stop (I prefer to use the glottal stop). Additionally, in the phrase "don't you", sometimes native speakers will use the CH /ʧ/ sound to link those words together, so it sounds like "don'chew". I hope this helps! :)

@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent3 жыл бұрын
Hi Ed - The /p/ in "help me" should not be dropped, so you do need to pronounce the /p/ sound. Try saying the phrase slowly, and start with the word "help" and keep your lips closed at the end of the P. Then go directly into the /m/ in "me". Your lips should only close one time for the P sound. Then they only open once, when you say the /i/ in "me". I hope this helps! :)
