Which is the unstressed vowel in different?

The unstressed vowel in "different" is the "e" in the second syllable.

Here's why:

* Stress: The stress falls on the first syllable, "dif," making it louder and longer.

* Unstressed: The second syllable, "fer," is unstressed. Unstressed vowels often have a shorter, less distinct sound.
