Description

In this episode I discuss the pronunciation of the verb "to give" + the pronouns "me", "us", "them", "you", "him" and "her" and how they change when we 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.
