American English
/ðɛɹ/
One syllable.
in, at, or to a place that is not where the speaker is
“There” is pronounced /ðɛɹ/ when you say it alone, emphasize it, or use it at the end of a phrase. In natural connected speech, when it means that something exists, as in “there is/are,” it is often reduced to /ðɚ/; when it indicates a place, it stays /ðɛɹ/.
in, at, or to a place that is not where the speaker is
Your coat is there.
Please sit there.
Use there for a place away from the speaker. Use here for the speaker’s place.
