You cannot produce a non-utterance in spoken language with vowels. Since written language is a representation of the spoken language, you cannot have words without vowels.Technically, no. "y" in the examples like shy is a vowel (as it makes a vowel sound); just like in loan words such as Gwn (whereby Welsh uses "w" as a vowel). A vowel is not defined by the letter that represents it but rather by the sound that is produced
It is generally correct to use "an" whenever it's followed immediately by a vowel sound whether a vowel or consonant is actually present, so in general "h" words are preceded by "a" since "h" is a consonant, although some speakers say "an historian" for instance. A ewe is correct because it's followed by a consonant sound ("y"). Similarly you would say "an SS Officer" because the indefinite article is followed by a vowel sound. Hope that's clear!
W is a vowel sometimes, as is Y. There are words in Welsh that use only a W. An example would be the word tow. Without the W the O would not be long. This illustrates that the W is forming a diphthong, which mirrors the use of the letter U from which it developed. After a vowel, W is considered as a vowel, with an "au, oo, or oh" sound. Before a vowel it is considered a consonant, with its "wh" sound.
There is no word in English without a vowel. Most people know that that w and y are sometimes vowels, but some persist in believing otherwise. Utterances such as pfft or grr may be found in some dictionaries, but they are not words.
It is just an O. Some words have an OA pair (loan), an OE pair (foe), or O followed by H or W (ohm, blow). Sometimes a silent E at the end of a word indicates a long vowel.
The A in was or what sounds like a short U sound (uh), as in wuzz and wutt.Other words that have the short U sound are buzz, fuzz, cut, nut, duck, numb, and sum.
Almost any word you can think of that has a double consonant preceeded by a vowel will have a short vowel sound, just as almost any word with a single consonant after the vowel will make the vowel a long sound. A few words that have a short vowel sound followed by a double consonant are: batter, better, bitter, butter, hemming, teller, messier and letter.
The U in use has a long U (yoo) vowel sound, as in unit and fuse.Some U words containing use have just an OO sound (ruse, obtuse).
The U in use has a long U (yoo) vowel sound, as in unit and fuse.Some U words containing use have just an OO sound (ruse, obtuse).
No, the word "flag" contains a long vowel sound, as the "a" is pronounced like "ay" in this case. Short vowel words would include simple words like "cat" or "dog" where the vowel sounds are short and distinct.
Yes, the word "mango" has a short vowel sound for the letter 'a'. It is pronounced as "mang-oh" where the 'a' sound is short.
The long vowel sounds in "absentminded" are: "a" in "absent" "i" in "minded"
The O is a Long vowel. Short vowel O's tend to sound like "aah." Long vowel O's tend to just have the "oh" sound. The Y also has a long E vowel sound. (coh-zee)
I believe you are asking about the word 'can'? Yes, it has a short 'a' sound, so is just pronounced 'can'. The general rule on short words that follow the pattern CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) is that the vowel will usually be short. For example, words such as 'pan, hat, bag, bug, win, hum, sit, wet, pen, dot, hot, tub, map, mud', etc, all have short vowel sounds.
Bē uses a long vowel. Remember: long vowels sound like you are saying the actual letter, and short sound like you are just saying part of the letter.
The structural unit of a word is a letter.The unit for a sound within a word is a phoneme, which is the sound of a consonant or vowel (whereas a syllable is composed of one or more phonemes, just like words).
There are two short vowel sounds in the word "copy": the short o sound in the first syllable and the short y sound in the second syllable.
