How Native Speakers Say It: Voice a clean /d/ consonant at the end of the root word smoothly.
Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "somatized" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "somatized is" sounds like "somatized-iz").
