Phát âm tiếng anh – Unit 38: Dạng yếu và dạng mạnh của từ 2 – Học Hay

- Nhiều tính từ sở hữu, liên từ và giới từ có hai cách phát âm khác nhau – dạng mạnh và dạng yếu. Thông thường chúng ta sử dụng dạng yếu. Nhưng nếu từ bị nhấn mạnh vì nó đặc biệt quan trọng, hoặc vì ta muốn thể hiện sự tương phản, ta dùng dạng mạnh.

	Dạng yếu	Dạng mạnh
your	/jə/*	/jɔ:/*
his	/ɪz/	/hɪz/
their	/ðə/*	/ðeə/*
and	/n/ hoặc /ən/	/əend/
but	/bət/	/bʌt/
some	/səm/	/sʌm/
that	/ðət/	/ðəet/
at	/ət/	/əet /
for	/fə/	/fɔ:/
from	/frəm/	/frɑːm/
of	/əv/	/ɑv/
to**	/tə/	/tu/

 

*  Âm r ở cuối những từ này được phát âm khi theo sau chúng là âm nguyên âm.

** to được phát âm là /tu:/ khi nó đứng trước một âm nguyên âm.
