how do you read "have"?

[XINLAI-UE]

Hi,

I have a phonetic question about "have", for example,
The sale includes mostly books people have donated to the library.

The phonetic for "have" is []. But I have question that in colloquial situation, how do you usually read this word? Will this one be read as [] or something else? Or you just always read this one as [], whatever it is a formal or informal situation.


Thanks for your help.

The loss of the aspirated "h" would be regarded as a sign of poor education. It might get lost if the person is speaking very fast.

Hi, Anglika,

Thanks for your reply.

I was wondering if I keep asking you one more question.

For example, "You are" - [] [], and I know that when a person is speaking very fast, he might be say "You're" - [], or weak form []. Another example, "They are" - [ ] [], we also hear "They're" [], or weak form [].

My question is how about "There are" - [] [], is there a reduced form for "There are" ? It seems I always hear this one get reduced as [] when a person is talking pretty fast. But I am not sure, so what is your opinion, how do you read "There are", when you are speaking in a fast speed?

By the way, I have to tell you I am learning American English.

Spoken fast, you will get the elision.
