PRONUNCIATION OF VOWELS.

_a_ as English a in f_a_ther
_e_[1] " a " f_a_te[2]
_i_ " i " magaz_i_ne
_o_[1] " o " n_o_te[2]
_u_ " u " r_u_le

These five sounds _never_ vary, except that they are a little longer
when they are stressed and shorter when they are not, as Yo amo (I
love),[3] Amigo (friend), El cielo (heaven), Celeste (heavenly), Un
recibo (a receipt), Interés (interest), Yo como (I eat), Contar (to
count), Un buque (a ship), Una butaca (an armchair).

_Y_ is considered a vowel in the conjunction _y_ (and), and at the end
of a word, as Rey (king), Hoy (to-day).
