r/ENGLISH on Reddit: Pronunciation of your and/or you're
October 8, 2024 -

I'm a native speaker and I've always pronounced "your" and "you're" as "yer" and I never though anything of it until I saw "you're" written as "yer" for the dialogue of a character with an accent.

So how do you pronounce "your" and "you're"? Do you pronounce them the same or differently?

Also is "ur" pronounced as just saying the letters?? I never realized this before

I'm a native English speaker (Texas counts, I suppose), and I pronounce "your" to rhyme with "core", and "you're" to rhyme with "cure". Is it just me or did I pick this up somewhere? More on english.stackexchange.com

Free web app for checking your pronunciation
That looks great! I think that focusing on pronunciation only when you add more content would be best for now, because then your web app would be the one to go to for pronunciation. It would specialize in that. And then later you can expand to other stuff. Maybe have some drawings of the inside of a mouth and how to position the tongue for certain sounds? Or perhaps link to good YT tutorials on pronunciation? More on reddit.com

UPDATE: The American Heritage Dictionary agrees with you. They list /yôr/ as an acceptable variant pronunciation for your but not for you're. However, since they don't say what dialects this pronunciation is found in, I don't know whether the speculation in my original post below is correct.

ORIGINAL POST: In the U.S., there are a number of accents which don't have the phoneme /ʊɹ/ in moor. (My mother, from rural Illinois, had one of these accents, and I used this accent's pronunciation for many of these words when I was young.) In these accents, the phoneme is replaced by either /ɝ/ as in purr or /ɔɹ/ as in pore; the rule is that generally, words that are pronounced with /jʊɹ/ (pure, cure) the phoneme is replaced by /jɝ/, and words that are pronounced with no /j/ (poor, moor, sure), the phoneme is replaced by /ɔɹ/.1 It may be that in some of these accents, you're and your get disambiguated by having you're rhyme with purr, and your rhyme with pore. I do know that pronouncing you're with /ɔɹ/ sounds wrong to me, whereas pronouncing your either way sounds fine.

I'm just guessing, but it's possible that one of these accents influenced your pronunciation of your and you're.

1 This rule only works for the final syllable of words. Otherwise, the sound generally changes to /ɝ/.
