Trying to figure something out about some words in Mandarin
Mandarin speakers: mind saying 这么, 什么, 怎么样 in a natural way (fit it in a sentence?) to yourself, and then answering the questions in the next tweets? Don't look at the questions before saying the words

Was there an "n" sound between the characters in 这么?

Was there an "n" between the characters in 什么? How would you transcribe it?
Was there an "n" between 怎么?
The reason I ask is that I seem to hear a variety of pronunciations here, and I'm kinda interested in what the evolution is here -- it seems like these similar sounding words are all affecting each others' pronunciations
i've even heard what sounds like a tone shift in 这么 that sounds like what you would expect after inserting an -n and then skipping it
