This the answer that chatGPT gives me
Yes, “u” is a vowel sound, but the pronunciation of “T” as a flap T or a glottal stop depends not just on the presence of vowels but also on the specific phonetic context around the “T.”

Here’s why the “T” in some words like “get to” uses a flap T while others like “button” use a glottal stop:

  1. Flap T: This occurs between two vowel sounds when the second vowel is not stressed, and the “T” is part of a syllable that isn’t strongly emphasized.

    • Example: “get to” (sounds like “ged to”)—the “T” is between two vowels and is not strongly stressed.

  2. Glottal Stop: This typically happens in words where the “T” comes after a stressed vowel and is followed by an unstressed syllable, often when the next syllable starts with a consonant-like sound or in some cases a silent vowel.

    • Example: “button” (sounds like “bu’n”)—the “T” comes after a stressed vowel and is followed by an unstressed syllable.

Even though “u” is a vowel, the specific pattern of stress and syllable division influences whether a flap T or glottal stop is used.

“The difference between them might be confusing at first, but with practice, you’ll be able to distinguish between them easily.”

قد يكون الفرق بينهما محيّرًا في البداية، لكن مع الممارسة ستتمكن من التمييز بينهما بسهولة.
