Nov 25, 2019 at 15:38 comment added LjL I think the answer given is fine, but I'd just like to point out that I don't think it's strictly accurate to say that /e/ "turns into" /i/ and /o/ "turns into" /u/: rather, the distinction between those pairs disappears, and the result is sounds that become indistinguishable allophones along a spectrum. Sometimes it may sound more like /e/ and sometimes more like /i/, but basically it's a matter of vowel reduction to something intermediate or speaker-dependent.
