"ઇ" is the third letter of the Gujarati alphabet and represents a short vowel sound similar to the "i" in "bit." It is a key vowel in the language and plays an important role in forming words and maintaining correct pronunciation. As a short vowel, "ઇ" helps distinguish words from those using its long counterpart "ઈ", which has a slightly extended sound. Understanding and using "ઇ" correctly is essential for reading, writing, and speaking Gujarati with clarity and accuracy.
