Thread: ого and eго

And some more examples, this time with adjectives in Genitive and Accusative:

У самого /самава/ синего /синива/ моря.

Я не люблю сладкого /слаткава/.

Дайте мне зеленого /зиленава/ чаю.

The word "сегодня" is pronounced /сиводня/, because it is a compound, coming from "сего" and "дня" (of this day).

To be more specific, /сиводни/, because letter "и", when unstressed (unaccentuated), is reduced to a sound resembling /и/.

Sorry, "я" is reduced to /и/ when unstressed.
