What Are Short I Sounds?


As the name suggests, short I sound words are the terms that do not let vowel I sound longer. The short I vocal tones are commonly used in daily life written and spoken content but many students are still not able to differentiate between such words. Given below are some techniques that will help one to locate short O sound words along with some examples to clarify the concept of short I tones that you hear:


How to Locate Short I Sounds


An easy way to locate short I sound words is that such terms never start or end with letter I, but contain the letter I in between the word. For example, the word "Iron" is not a short sound word as it is starting from the letter I and the letter I is also sounding for a longer period. Another way to locate short I sounds is by their pronunciation. While pronouncing short I words, the tongue first moves forward to touch the frontal teeth and then immediately is lowered to touch bottom teeth. So while pronouncing any word that contains letter I in middle, one must be careful as it can be a short I sound word.
