I need to know how to pronounce the following 3 Czech words: prozpevujte oslavujte jej Does the "j" after teh vowel make an "i" sound or is it silent?
The "j" after a vowel is pronounced as a dipthonged "ee": e.g. "ej" = long "a" ("eh-ee"); "uj" = "oo-ee"; "aj" = long "i" ("ah-ee"). Note, I've put a dash between the base vowel sound and the dipthonged "ee", for clarity, although they are meant to be pronounced together as one vowel sound. With that in mind the pronunciations are (with "|" to break into syllables): pro|zpye|voo-ee|te o|sla|voo-ee|te yay
