How to say it
Stress the particle, not the verb: get IN. Saying “GET in” is the clearest learner tell — the verb stays light and the particle carries the beat.
The /t/ flaps. Between vowels, American /t/ and /d/ both become a quick tap, so “get in” comes out as “ge-din” — closer to a fast D than a T.
