What is the pronunciation of "i" in "investigate"? Is it "ɪ" or "ə"?
Accent-less "i" becomes schwa ""ə" many times as in possible [[SUP]|[/SUP]pɑ:səbl]
I heard two different sounds motivate[[SUP]|[/SUP]moʊtɪveɪt] and motivate[[SUP]|[/SUP]moʊtəveɪt] as different dictionaries define it.
Does "investigate" have only one sound [ɪn[SUP]|[/SUP]vestɪgeɪt] or is [ɪn[SUP]|[/SUP]vestəgeɪt] also possible?
