To, too and two

Are they prounced the same or differently?

Someone here doesn't think they are prounced the same!

Titanic · Nov 8, 2017

Yes, they are.

How on earth do you pronounce them differently? :nono:

How do you pronounce prounced?

Boys 9d · Nov 8, 2017

I've always pronounced them the same way.

brightn'ove · Nov 8, 2017

What on earth does that have to do with punctuation?

mejonaNO12 aka riskit · Nov 8, 2017

Having said them out loud I think my "to" is much PUNCHIER than if I'm saying "too"

GM98 · Nov 8, 2017

I'd like the person who doesn't think they are pronounced differently to come on here and explain.

This.

Too many people too quick to lay into the OP here.

The dancer came into the studio. My daughter wanted to dance in the recital too. So the two dancers went to their dressing rooms and put on their tutus.

Each emphasized word is pronounced the same way.

SweatyMexican · Nov 8, 2017

In a sentence, 'to' is shortened to t'.

That's about it.

Triggaaar · Nov 8, 2017

They can all be the same (stressed/strong): /tu:/
To can be unstressed: /te:/ - I'm going to London

this, "too" is an elongated sound. you will probably slightly voice a w in "two", silently at the end though. say it, do one, two and see if you dont ever so slightly make a "w" mouth movement.

Not always. I can correct you if you'd like me to

If you do, you're doing it wrong.
