Ep012: Aussie Pronunciation Of "To Give" + Pronouns

In this episode I discuss the Aussie pronunciation of the verb "to give" when followed by the pronouns "me", "us", "them", "you", "him" and "her" and how they change when we Aussies speak quickly.

• Give + me = gimme
• Give + us = givus
• Give + them = givem
• Give + you = givya
• Give + him = givim
• Give + her = giver

Example sentences:

• Can you gimme a minute? I’m not ready.
• I’m parched, can you givus another beer?
• They’ll finish the work if you givem some more time.
• I’ll givya twenty minutes to get ready.
• If he’s still hungry then givim some more food.
• We’ll giver a fair price for the car.

Note: remember we never write "givem" or "givim" etc, I'm just doing that here for the sake of teaching you the pronunciation.
