Default Re: THE OR THUH For Americans

Hi DarenJoe1,

While the spelling of "the" never changes, English users will change the pronunciation from "thee" to "thuh." Usually, when pronounced like "thee," the speaker is intending to be more formal. However, there is no definitional difference between the pronunciations; both ways of saying "the" mean the same thing.

Hope this helps!
