‍ ⚜🎶🔴PRONUNCIATION🔴🎶⚜

Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life.

The Answer is
🅰 about

Well done guys👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹

✅ Have you ever heard someone say shoulda?

‼️ Oh yeah, I shoulda done that.



🔑 ‘Shoulda’ is a reduction of ‘should have’. I made a video years ago about dropping the H in words like ‘have’ – we do it all the time in spoken American English. But in ‘shoulda’, we’re going a lot further than just dropping the H. We’re reducing the AA vowel to the schwa, and we’re dropping the V sound. All we’re left with is the schwa, uh, uh. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Note that the L is silent in these words, and they all have the UH vowel, as in ‘book’, where the lips flare a little and there’s some tension in the back of the tongue as it lifts a bit. Uh, should, uh, would, uh, could. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

☢ Let’s look at some sentences.

I shoulda been there.
You coulda been hurt!
I shoulda seen it coming.
I woulda been there.
We coulda tried harder.
I woulda thought so.

☢ Sometimes I pronounce these words like this, all the way reduced, and sometimes I make a light V sound, vv, vv, vv. There’s no reason why I do it one way or another, I just know that I do, and you’ll probably hear it both ways.

☢ Now, you don’t want to try to write them this way, but speaking? Yes, do it. These reductions sound like natural American English.

☢ Shoulda, woulda coulda. Shoulda, woulda, coulda: these three words together is a phrase we use sometimes to say ‘oh well’.

» Man, I wish I had bought Apple stock ten years ago.
» Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

⚠️ Bonus: Let’s learn the negative too:

🔑 Should-not-have. Americans will say this: shouldn-uh. Drop the word ‘not’ and just make an N sound. So it’s going to sound like two or three syllables, depending on how fast you transition from D to N: shouldn’t-uh. Right after ‘should’, hold out an N: shouldnnnnn. The tongue position for D and N is almost the same. Shouldnnnnnnnnnn-uh. Then just release the tongue to make the schwa. Shouldn-uh, shouldn-uh. This is the same for couldn’t have, couldna, and wouldn’t have, wouldna.

☢ Let’s look at some example sentences:

Shouldn’t have, shouldna.
I shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry.
It shouldn’t have started already.
Shouldna.
Couldn’t have, couldna.
You couldn’t have known.
We couldn’t have made it anyway.
Couldna, couldna.
Wouldn’t have, wouldna.
I wouldn’t have said that.
It wouldn’t have mattered.
Wouldna, wouldna.

⛔️ I hope you’ll now be more comfortable identifying these phrases when you hear them, and reducing them yourself in conversation.
