Reducing Fast English Sentences

English can sound really fast when spoken by native speakers. If you've ever watched an English TV Show or movie and struggled to understand the quick pace of the language, then this article is for you. In this article, we will explore common English phrases, sentences, and questions, and learn how native speakers make them sound fast. By practicing these reductions, you'll be able to both pronounce and understand fast English more easily.

Reducing the word "you"

Reducing "what do you think"

In casual conversation, the phrase "What do you think?" can be further reduced to "Whadaya think?". In this reduction, the final "t" in "what" is cut off, resulting in "wha". The word "do" is pronounced as "da", and "you" becomes "daya". So, "What do you think?" becomes "Whadaya think?".

Pros: Pronouncing "Whadaya think?" is much faster and more natural in casual conversations.

Cons: This reduction may be too informal for formal or professional settings.

Reducing "what'd you think"

For an even faster reduction of "What do you think?", it can be further reduced to "Wha'ya think?". In this reduction, the word "do" is completely dropped, and "you" is shortened to "ya". So, "What do you think?" becomes "Wha'ya think?".

Pros: "Wha'ya think?" is a highly natural and commonly used reduction in casual speech.

Cons: This reduction may not be suitable for formal or professional conversations.

Reducing "whadaya think"

The phrase "Wha'ya think?" can be further reduced to "Wha'ya think?". In this reduction, the word "what" is pronounced as "wha" with the final "t" being dropped. The word "do" is shortened to "da", and "you" becomes "ya". So, "What do you think?" becomes "Wha'ya think?".

Pros: "Wha'ya think?" is a widely used and understood reduction in spoken English.

Cons: This reduction may sound informal or slangy in formal or professional contexts.

Reducing "wha'ya think" further

In extremely casual speech or in movies and TV shows, "Wha'ya think?" can be reduced even further to "Wha'ya think?". In this reduction, the entire word "do" is dropped, and "you" becomes "ya". So, "What do you think?" becomes "Wha'ya think?".

Pros: This reduction reflects the fast pace of casual spoken English, especially in movies and TV shows.

Cons: Using this reduction in formal or professional contexts may sound overly casual or unprofessional.

Reducing "where did you get it"

The question "Where did you get it?" can be reduced to "Where'd ya ged it?". In this reduction, "did" is shortened to "d", and "you" becomes "ya". The final "t" in "get" is pronounced as a "d" sound due to the T-to-D sound change between vowels, and "it" is pronounced as "i'". So, "Where did you get it?" becomes "Where'd ya ged it?".

Pros: "Where'd ya ged it?" is a commonly used reduction in casual speech, making conversations flow more naturally and quickly.

Cons: This reduction may not be appropriate for formal or professional conversations.

Reducing "where'd ya ged it"

The phrase "Where'd ya ged it" can also be further reduced to "Where'd ja gedi'". In this reduction, the word "you" is further shortened to "ja". So, "Where'd ya ged it?" becomes "Where'd ja gedi'?".

Pros: "Where'd ja gedi'?" is a commonly used reduction, especially in American English, and is easily understood by native speakers.

Cons: This reduction may not be suitable for formal or professional conversations.
