|
Hello,
If there is a word like "truda" (though in reality there is no such word in English), how will native speakers of English pronounce it? Does the "u" sound like "ue" in "true" or "u" in "rush" or "luck"? Why? Can you tell me about the rule?
Thanks for your reply!! |

The "u" would be long, pronounced as in "true" or "due." If you want to make it shourt, pronounced as in "thud" or "mud," you have to double the consonant: "trudda."
