    осеннее as-sen-n'i-ji
    осенние as-sen-n'i-ji

    осеннии as-sen-ni-i

    осенняя as-sen-n'uh-juh
    я
    This is how i imagine saying it. -ие -ее the same, whereas the -ии wouldn't have the Y-sound for the last vowel. And the -яя would be the schwa sound of fathEr, with the last vowel a Y-sound to it.

    осеннее, осенние and осеннии all are [ɐsʲenʲ:ɪ.ɪ] for me. (Reduced a, soft s, stressed e, soft long n, short i and short i again)
    The difference can appear only when I pronounce them slowly, sound by sound.

    осенняя is [ɐsʲenʲ:ɪjə], with the first я reduced to [ɪ]. But [ɐsʲenʲ:əjə] sounds good as well.
