Some words with the "yoo" vowel sound include: Blue True Flu Due
A long vowel sound is one that says the name of the letter (U can be OO or YOO). The sounds are ay, ee, eye, oh, and oo/yoo. For example, age, ache and able are all long A words.
The U has a long U (long YOO) vowel sound, the A and the I have short vowel sounds, and the Y has a long E sound.
Yes. The long U sound is a long OO as in flute and dune. But a Y sound is heard in some OO sound words that sounds like the letter U in uniform. These words include cube, cure, cute, few, fuel, feud, mule, mute, you, yew, and view.
The "u" in "cube" makes a long vowel sound, as it sounds like "yoo" as in "duke" or "cute."
The vowel sound is a long U (long OO) vowel sound (floot).The YOO sound is another form of the long U, long OO, where a consonant shapes a y-sound. Some YOO words are cute, mute, fuel, feud, and uniform.
Most grammar sources say yes. Although the concept of long vowels are that they "say their name," the long U can be represented by a long OO as in rule, dune, and flute -- these words follow the pattern of long vowels in words ending in silent E.The sound "YOO" actually contains a consonant Y (y-glide) and follows several consonants, as in cute, mute, mule, fuel, feud, and view, as well as in words that start with U such as uniform, unicorn, and unique.The reason that some classify them as different sounds is that using the term "long U" can be confusing where there are both long OO and long YOO variations that are both words, such as mute and moot, cute and coot, feud and food, and fuel and fool.
The letter M makes a humming sound with the lips, but it is not a vowel sound. Vowel sounds are made with the mouth open. The sound of a consonant M sounds like "mmm" (lips closed), followed by any of several vowel sounds, as in these words: may mat mar mare meet mere/mirror met mine mire mint mow more mob moon mule * mum murder *(The U picks up a YOO sound in some words, like mute and mule.)
When it is a "long vowel" the vowel "says its name." The long vowel sounds are: A - ay E - ee I - eye O - oh U - OO (sometimes YOO)
Some U words (uniform, unique, unicorn) sound like YOO (the Y consonant followed by OO). The word "one" sounds like it starts with a W (wun).
The word butte rhymes with cute and mute. It has a long U (long YOO) vowel sound.(*some guides consider the long OO and long YOO separate sounds, but only the Y consonant sound is different, as in cute, which has an OO version coot)
The letters EAU have a long U (YOO) vowel sound (it says its name). The other vowels (I and second U) are both usually schwa sounds, unstressed.
