Proper Pronunciation Guide

away

[ə we͜i]

Tips:

  • Pronounce the first syllable, even though it is only the weak, unstressed schwa vowel
    /ə/—unlike Larry King, the former host of his own show on CNN, who, before each commercial break, used to say, “Don’t go way!”

Practice Sentences:

They're away for the weekend.
We tried to get as far away as possible from the noise.
