⚠️ Single-Syllable Vocal Energy & Vowel Articulation

The Trap: Single-syllable words like "mênh" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

How Native Speakers Say It: Sustain vowel clarity without rushing into the trailing consonant. Elevate pitch slightly when "mênh" carries the primary contrast or new information in a sentence.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

When "mênh" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "mênh is" sounds like "mênh-iz").

⏱️ Stress-Timed Rhythm

In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "mênh" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
