pronunciation of monday,tuesday,wednesday,... Hi teachers,
here is my question. if u look up a dictionary,u'll see the pronunciation for Monday is [mondi],not [mon day] that is familiar to my ears.
I've noticed that people pronunce it in both ways,older generations tend to pronunce it [mondi],and i rarely hear younger generations or people in TV sit-com pronunce it that way but [mon day] .
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they speak it too fast that I don't hear it well,so i need to ask u about it.
One day,I had a chance to ask an American senior about these pronunciation,he taught me that these should be pronunced as [xxxdi] except Thursday and Saturday;because they don't want Thursday sounds like "thirsty". does it has to do with regional or something?
Thanks. |
