end की परिभाषा और उच्चारण

Okay, let's break down how to pronounce "end" in English. There are actually two common pronunciations, and it depends a little on where you are and the kind of "end" you're talking about.

1. The Most Common Pronunciation (pronounced like "end" in "attend"):

  • IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet): /ɛnd/
  • How to say it: Think of the word "attend." The "end" sound is almost identical. It's a short, open vowel sound. Your mouth is slightly open, and your tongue is relatively low.
  • Emphasis: The emphasis is on the first syllable ("en").

2. The Older/More Formal Pronunciation (pronounced like "end" in "bend"):

  • IPA: /ɪnd/
  • How to say it: This pronunciation sounds more like the word "in" followed by "d." It's a shorter, more deliberately pronounced sound.
  • Usage: You're less likely to hear this pronunciation in modern American English, especially in conversation. It’s more common in British English and sometimes in more formal contexts.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose:

  • Most of the time (American English): Use /ɛnd/ (like "attend").
  • Sometimes (British English or formal): Use /ɪnd/ (like "in" + "d").
