How Native Speakers Say It: Sustain vowel clarity without rushing into the trailing consonant. Elevate pitch slightly when "priėmė" carries the primary contrast or new information in a sentence.
Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "priėmė" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "priėmė is" sounds like "priėmė-iz").
