00:16
I've had a few requests for words where we have the T, schwa, and N sound. For example,

6621
ู„ู‚ุฏ ุชู„ู‚ูŠุช ุจุนุถ ุงู„ุทู„ุจุงุช ู„ู„ูƒู„ู…ุงุช ุญูŠุซ ู„ุฏูŠู†ุง ุตูˆุช T ูˆ schwa ูˆ N. ุนู„ู‰ ุณุจูŠู„ ุงู„ู…ุซุงู„ ุŒ
00:23
the word 'mountain', or the word 'curtain'. First, let's take a look at the word 'mountain'.

ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ุฌุจู„" ุฃูˆ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ุณุชุงุฑุฉ". ุฃูˆู„ุงู‹ ุŒ ุฏุนู†ุง ู†ู„ู‚ูŠ ู†ุธุฑุฉ ุนู„ู‰ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ุฌุจู„".
00:30
So here, the T is coming after an N, and before a schwa. Normally, when the T is in a consonant
4

5549
ุฅุฐู† ู‡ู†ุง ุŒ ูŠุฃุชูŠ ุญุฑู T ุจุนุฏ N ูˆู‚ุจู„ schwa. ุนุงุฏุฉ ุŒ ุนู†ุฏู…ุง ูŠูƒูˆู† ุญุฑู T ููŠ
00:36
cluster, like 'mount', we would say a true T. But often, when it follows the N, we actually

ู…ุฌู…ูˆุนุฉ ู…ุชุทุงุจู‚ุฉ ุŒ ู…ุซู„ "mount" ุŒ ูŠู…ูƒู†ู†ุง ุฃู† ู†ู‚ูˆู„ ุญุฑู T. ูˆู„ูƒู† ููŠ ูƒุซูŠุฑ ู…ู† ุงู„ุฃุญูŠุงู† ุŒ ุนู†ุฏู…ุง ูŠุชุจุน N ุŒ ูุฅู†ู†ุง
00:42
live it out altogether, like in the word 'center'. Center. I say no T there.

ู†ุนูŠุดู‡ ุชู…ุงู…ู‹ุง ุŒ ูƒู…ุง ู‡ูˆ ุงู„ุญุงู„ ููŠ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ู…ุฑูƒุฒ". ู…ุฑูƒุฒ. ุฃู‚ูˆู„ ู„ุง ุชูŠ ู‡ู†ุงูƒ.
00:47
But this is an exception. When we have the T sound, the schwa sound, and the N sound,

ูˆู„ูƒู† ู‡ุฐุง ุงุณุชุซู†ุงุก. ุนู†ุฏู…ุง ูŠูƒูˆู† ู„ุฏูŠู†ุง ุตูˆุช T ุŒ ูˆุตูˆุช schwa ุŒ ูˆุตูˆุช N ุŒ ูุฅู†
00:53
most native speakers will make that T a Stop T. So rather than 'mountain', with a True

ู…ุนุธู… ุงู„ู…ุชุญุฏุซูŠู† ุงู„ุฃุตู„ูŠูŠู† ุณูŠุฌุนู„ูˆู† ุฐู„ูƒ T a Stop T. ู„ุฐุง ุจุฏู„ุงู‹ ู…ู† "ุงู„ุฌุจู„" ุŒ ู…ุน True

So, to make this word, my tongue is coming to the roof

ู„ุฐู„ูƒ ุŒ ู„ูƒูŠ ุฃู‚ูˆู… ุจู‡ุฐู‡ ุงู„ูƒู„ู…ุฉ ุŒ ูุฅู† ู„ุณุงู†ูŠ ูŠู‚ุชุฑุจ ู…ู† ุณู‚ู
01:08
of the mouth for the N, mount-n. Then I just leave it there. I stop the flow of air with

ุตูˆุช schwa-N.
01:24
Mountain. [3x]
14
84230

ุฌุจู„. [3x]
01:28
Let's take a look at the word 'curtain'. Now here the T comes after an R and before a vowel
15
88149
5320
ุฏุนู†ุง ู†ู„ู‚ูŠ ู†ุธุฑุฉ ุนู„ู‰ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ุณุชุงุฑุฉ". ุงู„ุขู† ู‡ู†ุง ูŠุฃุชูŠ ุญุฑู T ุจุนุฏ R ูˆู‚ุจู„ ุตูˆุช ุญุฑู ุงู„ุนู„ุฉ ุŒ
01:33
sound, the schwa. So normally, that would be a Flap T, like in the word 'party'. But
16
93469
5290
schwa. ู„ุฐู„ูƒ ุนุงุฏุฉู‹ ู…ุง ูŠูƒูˆู† ุฐู„ูƒ ุนุจุงุฑุฉ ุนู† ุฑูุฑู T ุŒ ูƒู…ุง ู‡ูˆ ุงู„ุญุงู„ ููŠ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ุญูู„ุฉ". ู„ูƒู†
01:38
again, because we have a T-schwa-N sound, it's an exception. So, it's a Stop T. Cur-tain.
17
98759
9280
ู…ุฑุฉ ุฃุฎุฑู‰ ุŒ ู†ุธุฑู‹ุง ู„ุฃู† ู„ุฏูŠู†ุง ุตูˆุช T-schwa-N ุŒ ูู‡ูˆ ุงุณุชุซู†ุงุก. ู„ุฐุง ุŒ ุฅู†ู‡ุง Stop T. Cur-tain.
01:48
Cur-tain. So, to make this word, my tongue is going from the R, pulled back, cur-, to
18
108039
8070
ุณุชุงุฑุฉ. ู„ุฐู„ูƒ ุŒ ู„ูƒูŠ ุฃุตู†ุน ู‡ุฐู‡ ุงู„ูƒู„ู…ุฉ ุŒ ูŠู†ุชู‚ู„ ู„ุณุงู†ูŠ ู…ู† ุงู„ุญุฑู R ุŒ ู…ุดุฏูˆุฏู‹ุง ู„ู„ุฎู„ู ุŒ cur- ุฅู„ู‰
01:56
a position where the front part of the tongue is touching the roof of the mouth. Then again,
19
116109
3870
ุงู„ู…ูˆุถุน ุงู„ุฐูŠ ูŠู„ุงู…ุณ ููŠู‡ ุงู„ุฌุฒุก ุงู„ุฃู…ุงู…ูŠ ู…ู† ุงู„ู„ุณุงู† ุณู‚ู ุงู„ูู…. ุซู… ู…ุฑุฉ ุฃุฎุฑู‰ ุŒ
01:59
I cut off the airflow here to signify the Stop T. Cur-tain. Then I don't need to move
20
119979
6221
ู‚ู…ุช ุจู‚ุทุน ุชุฏูู‚ ุงู„ู‡ูˆุงุก ู‡ู†ุง ู„ู„ุฅุดุงุฑุฉ ุฅู„ู‰ Stop T. Cur-tain. ุซู… ู„ุณุช ุจุญุงุฌุฉ ุฅู„ู‰ ุชุญุฑูŠูƒ
02:06
my tongue, it's already in position for the schwa-N sound. Curtain.
21
126200
5020
ู„ุณุงู†ูŠ ุŒ ูู‡ูˆ ุจุงู„ูุนู„ ููŠ ู…ูˆุถุนู‡ ุงู„ู…ู†ุงุณุจ ู„ุตูˆุช schwa-N. ุณุชุงุฑุฉ.
02:11
The word 'sentence' doesn't end with a T-schwa-N sound, but it's the same rule. Because we
22
131220
5379
ู„ุง ุชู†ุชู‡ูŠ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ุฌู…ู„ุฉ" ุจุตูˆุช T-schwa-N ุŒ ู„ูƒู†ู‡ุง ู†ูุณ ุงู„ู‚ุงุนุฏุฉ. ู„ุฃู†
02:16
have those three sounds together, many people will say sen-tence, making a Stop T there.
23
136599

ู„ุฏูŠู†ุง ู‡ุฐู‡ ุงู„ุฃุตูˆุงุช ุงู„ุซู„ุงุซุฉ ู…ุนู‹ุง ุŒ ุณูŠู‚ูˆู„ ุงู„ูƒุซูŠุฑ ู…ู† ุงู„ู†ุงุณ ุญุณู‹ุง ุŒ ู…ู…ุง ูŠุฌุนู„ Stop T ู‡ู†ุงูƒ.
02:23
So again, my tongue is already in the right position because it came up for the first
24
143799
3711
ู„ุฐุง ู…ุฑุฉ ุฃุฎุฑู‰ ุŒ ู„ุณุงู†ูŠ ููŠ ุงู„ูˆุถุน ุงู„ุตุญูŠุญ ุจุงู„ูุนู„ ู„ุฃู†ู‡ ุธู‡ุฑ ู„ุฃูˆู„ ู…ุฑุฉ ููŠ
02:27
N. Sen-tence. So, I just cut off the airflow, and then jump right back into the schwa-N
25
147510
7000
N. Sen-tence. ู„ุฐู„ูƒ ุŒ ู‚ู…ุช ู„ู„ุชูˆ ุจู‚ุทุน ุชุฏูู‚ ุงู„ู‡ูˆุงุก ุŒ ุซู… ู‚ูุฒ ู…ุจุงุดุฑุฉ ุฅู„ู‰ ุตูˆุช schwa-N
02:34
sound.
26
154510

.
02:36
One final example, the word 'cotton'. So here, the T is coming between two vowel sounds.
27
156420
5640
ู…ุซุงู„ ุฃุฎูŠุฑ ุŒ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ู‚ุทู†". ู‡ู†ุง ุŒ ุญุฑู T ูŠุฃุชูŠ ุจูŠู† ุตูˆุชูŠู† ู…ุชุญุฑูƒูŠู†.
02:42
Normally, that would be a Flap, like in the word 'cutting'. There, it's a Flap T where
28
162060
5349
ุนุงุฏุฉู‹ ู…ุง ูŠูƒูˆู† ุฐู„ูƒ ุนุจุงุฑุฉ ุนู† ุฑูุฑู ุŒ ูƒู…ุง ู‡ูˆ ุงู„ุญุงู„ ููŠ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ู‚ุทุน". ู‡ู†ุงูƒ ุŒ ุฅู†ู‡ ุฑูุฑู T ุญูŠุซ
02:47
the tongue just bounces agains the roof of the mouth and there's no stop of sound. But
29
167409
4621
ูŠุฑุชุฏ ุงู„ู„ุณุงู† ู…ุฑุฉ ุฃุฎุฑู‰ ู„ุณู‚ู ุงู„ูู… ูˆู„ุง ูŠูˆุฌุฏ ุชูˆู‚ู ู„ู„ุตูˆุช. ู„ูƒู†
02:52
in the word 'cotton', it's the T-schwa-N, so we're going to make that a stop instead.
30
172030
5679
ููŠ ูƒู„ู…ุฉ "ู‚ุทู†" ุŒ ุฅู†ู‡ุง T-schwa-N ุŒ ู„ุฐุง ุณู†ูˆู‚ู ุฐู„ูƒ ุจุฏู„ุงู‹ ู…ู† ุฐู„ูƒ.
02:57
Cotton. So, my tongue is going up into position for the T, it's the same as the position for
31
177709
6051
ู‚ุทู†. ู„ุฐุง ุŒ ูุฅู† ู„ุณุงู†ูŠ ูŠุฑุชูุน ุฅู„ู‰ ู…ูˆุถุนู‡ ุนู„ู‰ ุดูƒู„ ุญุฑู T ุŒ ูˆู‡ูˆ ู†ูุณ ู…ูˆุถุน ุญุฑู
03:03
the N. I never move the tongue once it's there. I just cut off the airflow, nn, and then make
32
183760
6369
N. ูˆู„ุง ุฃุญุฑูƒ ู„ุณุงู†ูŠ ุฃุจุฏู‹ุง ุจู…ุฌุฑุฏ ูˆุฌูˆุฏู‡ ู‡ู†ุงูƒ. ู„ู‚ุฏ ู‚ุทุนุช ู„ู„ุชูˆ ุชุฏูู‚ ุงู„ู‡ูˆุงุก ุŒ nn ุŒ ุซู… ุฃุฌุนู„

the N sound.

ุงู„ุตูˆุช N.
03:11
Other example words with the Stop T-schwa-N sound: fountain, kitten, button, written,
