How to pronounce '-ing' followed by a vowel
I'm getting into English recently and I'm a little confused by the way people pronounce a word that starts in a vowel right after a word ending in -ing.
For example:
You have to bring it up now?
I don't know if I should pronounce it as:
- bring /ŋit/
- brin' /nit/
- bring /git/
Another example would be "I'm coming out".
Likewise, what about the ending -ang? For example:
We can just hang out and have a good time.
And to round it all up, what about a combination of the two? For example,
He got sick of hanging around waiting for you and went home.
I've been asking myself these questions for weeks.
Solution 1:
Some English accents pronounce the g on the end of words like bring (even without a word following). The BrE Birmingham/Black Country accent can do this, for example, and I’m sure there are others. In this case, bring it would be pronounced /briŋgit/.
“Standard” English pronunciation does not insert the final /g/ and would use /briŋit/.
The same applies to all words ending /ŋ/ followed by a vowel.
Where the final g is pronounced, it can be inserted in other cases too: “speaking Latin” would not have an /iŋgl/ in the middle in Standard English pronunciation but it could well do so in an accent which normally pronounces the final g.
