I hear 'You better...'.

I hear 'You better...'.

As you are native speaker, I'd like to know you will say "You better" or "You had better" or "You'd better" in spoken English?

Forget about surface forms in spoken english. Get that straight first.

you'd better do > you dbetter do > you better do

Same questions, but different login, it appears.

Yes, I'm a native speaker. The difference between 'You'd better' and 'you better' in connected speech would be minimal - indeed, probably indistinguishable.

I hear "you better", but I see from where you're coming as I also had difficulty deciding which was the one. I'm not a native speaker.
