Do I pronounce 'i' when I say these words " where it is ..."?

Whenever I hear people say words like 'where it is' or 'whatever it is', it sounds like they don't pronounce 'i' of the word "it". Why do I not hear 'i' sound???

Hello Bamtori,

whenever people chat, especially when they speak really quickly, sounds can disappear. This happens especially to those sounds that are unstressed, e.g. the "it" in your sentences.

Words that aren't stressed for any reason are often contracted or combine with another word - which makes a phrase like "where it is" sound like "whertis".

I hope I could help you out

All the best
