/d/+/y/

 

Would you go?

Could you help?

I called you.

 

Rule: When a word ends in /d/ and the next word begins with /y/, the blended sound is /dʒ/ as in job.

Connection	Sound	Example
d + you dʒ + you	ju or jə	I told you! I'll page you.
d + your dʒ + your	jər	Did your wife call? Judge yourself.
d + you're dʒ + you're	jər	She said you're coming. George! You're here.
