Pronunciation and word stress: I missed you

[leslieking]

Hi, phonetically, I 'missed you' looks like this: /aɪ mɪst yu/.
We have a content word the verb missed. I think this is where we need the stress. Am I right?

Okay, but we also have a final T followed by a Y, which usually calls for the /tʃ/ CH sound. I'm a bit confused about word stress, though.

A. /aɪ mɪst yu/
B. /aɪ 'mɪstʃ yu/
C. /aɪ 'mɪs tʃu/

Only the verb needs stress, am I right? The falling intonation is on yu or tʃu?

 

[probus]

I agree with you.

However you are only imagining the 'spaces' between the sounds. You're asking if it's A or A. The first person would say it the way Probus agrees it is said. The person responding might change it to

/aɪmɪst 'yu/
