hello Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question today's
question is how do I pronounce the word casual and casually basic and basically
let's just jump right into this because I think you're going to need a visual so
first let's start with the word casual let's just look at the syllables or I
think this kind of gets a little bit too confusing I've actually shot this video
about five times already and none of them have worked so let's go with just
the syllables so for casual Ka zew ul
casual so Ka zew ul casual casual casual now casually can be pronounced
one of two ways it can either have three syllables Ka zew lee casually or four
syllables Ka zew uh lee casually so let's say those words altogether we have
casual with three beats casual casual casual and then we're gonna have three
beats for option number one casually casually casually or we have four
syllables when I add that schwa casually casually casually either option is okay
you just have to pick one and stick with it now let's go to basic this is easy
when you think of the syllables it's like we're saying two words bay like a
body of water and sick like I don't feel very well
basic easy breezy to say that herein lies the problem though I think when you
add that ly you can have one of two pronunciations basically with three
beats basically basically basically or you can have four syllables bay sick
uh lee basically basically basically so we can have basic basically basically now I
hear most people say basically however it is okay if you want to add that extra
syllable it's actually hard for me to pronounce it that way because I don't
add that fourth syllable but just know that some people do that and that is
okay so because I pronounce these words with three syllables when you add the ly
that's how I'm going to pronounce them for you in the examples so we have
casual casual casual casually casually casually basic basic basic basically
basically basically casual casually basic basically give it a try I know
