Essayer: j'essaie, or j'essaye?

I was confused how I should conjugate the verb essayer , or any other ones like nettoyer .

I looked up in a conjugation website,

J'essaie / ye

I'm guessing that means both j'essaie and j'essaye are accepted. However, my teacher said to use j'essaie .

Which one is correct? If both are accepted, is there any difference?

• @TeleportingGoat I think it's due to the fact that you chose "English"... if you choose "French" for the "corpus", then the result is significantly different... –  Yai0Phah Commented Jan 22, 2017 at 17:50

It looks like both are in regular use today, and that this is also the case for "payer", "balayer", as well as any other verb in "-ayer". I am not aware of any rule mandating to use one rather than the other when writing vs. speaking.

The pronunciation is slightly different though: "j'essaye" would sound at the end like "pareil", whereas "j'essaie" would sound like "sait".

I am not aware that one pronunciation or the other would have this or that connotation. It is even possible for native speakers to use both in the same conversation.

How do you tell the difference between "Je sais" and "J'essaie" in quick speech?

.... Because to me they sound almost exactly the same. Would you put more emphasis on the E in J'essaie (phonetic: j' eh -say) or would you put emphasis on the final S in Je sais?

essayer (prononciation)

Are there alternate ways of pronouncing the ay stem, e.g. as [ai] in IPA (ess-aye-yay)? It's my habit to do so but I notice it doesn't conform with the IPA pronunciation keys my dictionaries give me. I know I picked it up from somewhere...  

Hi, I don't know IPA, but I'd say that essayer is pronounced ess-è-yé (è as in 'mais' and é as 'et')  

i pronounce it this way: ésséyé  

C'est comme le "lait". Y en a qui disent lé, d'autres lè. Moi je dis esséyé comme le précédent Toulousain...  

DearPrudence

Dépêche mod (al mod).

North of France, Normandy: "essé - yé" In my dictionary it's written [eseje] On the other hand, you can have two pronunciations & two spellings forsome forms: j'/il ess aie tu ess aies ils ess aient = /éssé/ "j'essaye" comme "eille" de "groseille" [es ɜ j] ​ (ps: why can't we write IPA??!)  

There is an sound somewhere, right, due to the [e]-[j] vowel-to-approximant transition? For example, I pronounce "travailler" as [tra.vai.je] ... I've been doing that for years and have never been corrected for it. [j] is sort of a companion to , after all? For example, /fille/ sounds like [fij] and there's no characteristic "eye" sound because the nucleus of the word is already . But in order for other vowels to transition to the approximant [j], won't an sound be produced? (e.g. [aj] = [aij] ?) I guess take the nonsense English word a-yo (actually it's a Singlish interjection, but anyway) ... I mean if I say it really fast, then the first syllable will end on the [y] element, hence [a.jo] => [aj.o] => [ai.jo]. Or am I not supposed to end the second syllable of words like essayer and travailler on [j]? Anyhow, I'm just desperate to justify something that I've been doing for years and hopefully there's some reason for me doing it, somewhere ...

Hmm, but I'm just wondering since the /e/ might be muet after /i/, but when following /y/ would change the pronunciation differently. (I guess the test is whether there a difference when one pronounces it in a song or a poem and hence the e-muet is articulated?) Wiki says /aie/ is pronounced as [ɜ]. I think TLFi would give similar results.
