The problem with pronunciation.Pleased help

[anhnha]

Hi all,
I am learning English and having some problems with pronunciation.

Would you show me the difference between 2 ways of pronunciation:
The first is /faiv/
The second is /faivə/
or anything like this.
Thank in advance.

Welcome to the forum, anhnha.

/faiv/ has one syllable. It represents the pronunciation of the word 'five'.

/faivə/ has two syllables. It represents the pronunciation of 'fiver' (informal word for 'a £5 note').

Thanks for your help.

At first when i pronunce /faiv/ I always think that the v sound is pronouce like /və/ and this make me so confuse.Would you give how i pronunce the v sound in /faiv/? Do It really pronounce v sound?

Wow.
Thanks you again. (space after a full stop) I really learned a lot from your correction.

Use "thank you" or "thanks", but not "thanks you".
As 5jj marked in his previous post, we always put a space after a full stop.

Hi.
English final consonants may be released either audibly or inaudibly.
When they are audible, they sound to me like initial consonants.

As you speak Vietnamese(according to your profile), I think you are aware of the difference.
Final consonants in Vietnamese are usually inaudibly released, which are very different from the initial ones.
But there is no such difference in English.

Five o'clock = 'fīv-voc-lŏc. The v is audibly released and becomes the initial of the next syllable.
Five = fīv. When the t is audibly released, it sounds like there is an very short ə, that is, 'fīv-və.

It seems to me that, voiced consonants tend to be partially devoiced(/voicelessly released) at final positions. Five may sound like 'fīv-fə. The ə in fə is voiceless, but audible.

Five o'clock = 'fīv-voc-lŏc. The v is audibly released and becomes the initial of the next syllable.
In that case, you need only the second 'v' in your transcription'
Five = fīv. When the t v is audibly released, it sounds like there is an very short ə, that is, 'fīv-və.
This may be true when the word comes at the end of an utterance, but not when it is followed immediately by another phoneme.

It seems to me that, voiced consonants tend to be partially devoiced(/voicelessly released) at final positions. Five may sound like 'fīv-fə. The ə in fə is voiceless, but audible.
/v/ may be (partly) devoiced before a voiceless consonant, and is always /f/ in the quasi-modal have to, but not generally in word-final position. An exception to this is the pronunciation of 'five' in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

I wrote two v's on purpose because people with the same problem might distinguish initial and final consonants.
A final consonant with an audible release might be perceived as a part of the next syllable by them.

Sorry, I meant at final positionsat the end of an utterance.
The devoicing of particles like “with”, “of”, etc. before voiceless consonants is another matter.

I don't understand the point you are making. One may consider /v/ to be either the final sound of the first syllable, or the initial sound of the second, but it's only one sound - it can't be both.

Sorry, I meant at final positionsat the end of an utterance.

I don't agree that, at the end of an utterance, " Five may sound like 'fīv-fə. The ə in fə is voiceless, but audible" .
