In spainsh is the u silent when it is next to an e?
For example, in the word huele is it pronounced like ala or wala. (Hard A's)
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Try to remember the following: "YOU (u) and I (i) are weak." The strong vowels are a, e, o. When u or i is used in combination with a strong vowel, it becomes a "dipthong." This is unless that weak vowel has a written accent mark on it. In the word "huele" it sounds like "way" = "way=lee."
