The Trap: Single-syllable words like "syy" 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 "syy" carries the primary contrast or new information in a sentence.

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