I need IPA transcription for "for a while"

[royal999]

Hello!

This is right both for BrE and AmE:
/fər ə waɪl/
Does it should have any primary or secondary stress?

Thanks.

 

[5jj]

It can also be /frə waɪl/.
[STRIKE]Does it[/STRIKE][STRIKE] s[/STRIKE] Should it have any primary or secondary stress?[/QUOTE]In normal contexts, the /waɪl/ bears the primary stress.

Thanks for grammatical correction.

So, I put this: /fər ə ˈwaɪl/.
​

 

[5jj]

So, I put this: /fər ə 'waɪl/.

Yes, or /frə 'waɪl/.
