Trouble pronouncing "the other"

Don’t forget, when “the” is before a vowel sound, it’s usually pronounced “thee” As for the pronunciation of “the other” it’s a very slight movement of the tongue and it all comes out as one word. It’s almost like I’m saying “thyuthr”

Does it help at all if you pronounce "the" with a long e sound, like "thee"?

The and other end with vowel sounds that are almost indistinguishable from each other (unstressed /ŭ/ vs. stressed /ŭ/.) They either get rolled into each other, or separated by a glottal stop.

The, pause, other. You do not need to say both words as a single sound.

The answer to what you're having problems with is called **intrusive sounds** or **linking /j/** Check this great BBC video for the best tips: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oi0NLl5Fdg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oi0NLl5Fdg) In short, you need to add a /j/ sound between some vowel sounds. Or a /r/ or a /w/. So 'the other' comes out like /ði:jʌðə/ = thee y'other

What is your native language? As a native English speaker (American), I don’t notice my tongue having to do anything difficult in this phrase, but maybe it’s something your language just doesn’t do.

Not sure if it the same in all accents but I don't say 'O' For me, other is pronounced uthuh (I don't prnounce the r at the end)

Depending on the accent, it can be: "THEE-uh-therr" "thuh-uh-thuh" "thuh-uh-thurr" I say the third way. The first and last syllable sound exactly the same, and the "o" in other is a soft u sound (bug, rug, dug)

Native English speakers will often slur these words together when speaking quickly, so it sounds like two syllables rather than three. To express that in writing, you'd say th'other, but it sounds more like thUH-thur. \*Practice saying "the" like thuh, voicing the "th." \* Practice saying thur, voicing the "th," like "third" or the second syllable in "mother" Do not push air through your teeth to get the th- sound, like in "thermostat." \* Put them together: thuh-thur, and practice that. \* Then give more emphasis to the UH in the first half: thUH-thur. Practice that and you'll have it. "I killed thUHthur Maurice." If you want to differentiate between the words, it's just a matter of repeating the first "uh." Stop voicing after the first uh and and start again with a second "uh." Practice saying uh uh uh uh, stopping and starting the sound with your throat if this isn't easy for you. Once you have that, you should be able to add it to say thuh uhthur pretty quickly. good luck!

What is your native language? That might help people assist you. Maybe think of it like the word "theater." In normal rapid speech, "the other" and "theater" should be basically indistinguishable except that you're replacing the voiceless th and t with two voiced ths.

To me (not that it helps to get 25 different points of view), the part between the two th sounds is like “ee-yuh”. Like say ee-yuh but starting with your tongue on the edges of your top teeth. Then add “thr”. Oh god, I probably made it worse.

Well, to be honest, I always stutter when I'm confessing to murder. Especially if I have to choose between two people named Maurice.

I wonder if you’re pronouncing ”the” with the schwa e. Try pronouncing it with the long e if you aren’t already doing so.

Pronounce the like thee, because of the O sound, and liaise it with a Y like thee yuther. Or use a glottal stop between the and other but it sounds like that is what’s tripping you up.

What about "th'uthur" https://voca.ro/19hVBQgz8PHn
