In terms of pronunciation, the vowel sounds of unstressed syllables of words with 3 or more syllables (even many 2-syllable words) will very often revert to the sound described as 'schwa', which is the neutral vowel sound, somewhat resembling 'uh' or 'ah'. Take the word indefinite. The syllables in the '-finite' part really have neutral vowel sounds, very much unlike the word finite, where the vowel sounds are like 'eye'. This is yet another thing that makes learning English a terror for those who speak languages with very regular pronunciation of vowels.
