Pronounce the word "THE" correctly 2

So, you have just found out that there are 2 possible pronunciations for "THE". Now, let´s make it more interesting: THE EXCEPTIONS!
In fact, it´s not really "exception", it´s just pay attention to the initial (oh, thiiiiii initial!) sound of the word.

Examples:
THE (thããã) universe
(thããã) uniform
(thããã) European
So, you can see that in these examples, we do not say "thi", because even though these words start with a vowel LETTER, they do not start with a vowel SOUND. LEt´s remember that we say "A" university, not AN university, because the "U" starts with a consonant SOUND. The same occurs when we see words starting with consonant letters, but not consonant sounds, like:
THE (thiii) honest man
(thiii) hours
(thiii) heir

Another point here. Sometimes, native speakers like to play with the word "THE" to give emphasis. For those of you who like to watch "FRIENDS", Ross always says stuff like:
"This is not the (thã course). This is the (thiiii) course!"
So, he´s emphasizing the word COURSE my changing the usual pronunciation of "THE", got it?
I´m going to try ton find some episode when he says that, I can´t think of any right now.
When I do find this video, it will be "Pronounce the word "THE" correctly 3".
