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

When "planı" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "planı is" sounds like "planı-iz").
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "planı" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
