NOTE: Vowel sounds can be made by the particular vowel (a,e,i,o,u) or by other vowels. So referring to a "long A" should refer to any word with the "ay" sound, not just A words. Words with short vowel sounds: Short A : apple, acrobat, avenue, bat, fast, had, laugh Short E: end, elephant, egg, bed, fell, let Short I: igloo, in, bit, fin, hill, pink Short O: dot, mop, rock, sob, Short U: up, umbrella, cup, fun, gust, gum, number, puff, summer Short OO : book, good, foot (see related questions)
Because "short" vowel is not a technical term in phonetics, there is no clear standard against which one can judge what it means. Using its general meaning in common speech, in reading, and in phonics, the letter U sound is-- a short OO as in pull and put-- a short U or /uh/ sound as in fun and submit-- unstressed or schwa as in circusIn IPA symbols, the short U sound in American English isʊ, as in pull /pʊl/^ as in up / ^p/ə as in circus /sûr ks/
There are more than just 2 vowel sounds for some vowels in English. But the common ones are called "long" and "short" based on whether they are enunciated, that is, whether you hear the "name" of the vowel.For long vowels, this is often apparent.The long A sound "ay" is heard in bay, base, and bail.*(This can be different in words with /ar/ - see below)The long E sound "ee" is heard in be, beat, and the Y in baby.The long I sound is heard in high, bite, and the Y in cry.The long O sound is heard in go, slow, and though.Sources differ on whether the long U is the YOO sound heard in uniform and cute, or if it is the same as the long OO heard in boot, chute, and flute. Most consider the long U and long OO to be the same sound, and the YOO to be the variant that contains a consonant Y known as a glide.For short vowels, the question may be whether the sound is stressed or not.The short A (ah) is heard in cat and apple.The short E (eh) is heard in sent and let.The short I (ih) is heard in bit, him, and win.The short O (aah) is heard in body, dot, and fond.The short U (uh) is heard in bud, fun, and hub.An unstressed eh, ih, or uh is called a "schwa" (represented by the symbol ).Other sounds that may be considered neither long or short:-- the OI (oy) diphthong as in coin and point-- the "umlaut A" seen in words spelled with AR (sounds like the letter R)-- the "caret A" where a long A is followed by R (sounds like AYR or air)-- the "caret O" or AW sound, which appears in British English where the R is not sounded, mostly in words spelled with OR.
Sure! Here's an example of a poem that features the short U sound: The sun is up, the day's begun, We run and jump and have great fun. Underneath the sky so blue, Our laughter rings, our spirits true.
Some basic words with a short "u" sound are: cup, luck, fun, run.
