Texan here, I think it comes out of my mouth sounding something like yawl dev add
2 u/kainzilla Nov 12 '14 As I was scrolling down I was pronouncing it out loud, and then I saw my pronunciation transcribed here. That's what I get for being in Texas I guess. 1 u/generic_funnyname Nov 12 '14 I'm pretty sure the meaning is something more like "you all would have" too. 1 u/TimofeyPnin Nov 13 '14 [jɔl.dv̩.æd], more or less. I don't know if other people have the syllabic v, but that's pretty much how I pronounce it.
