How's the 'th' in 'within' pronounced?
Within
I understand. But is it voiced as in "the" and "these" or as in "without?"
The th in "the," "these," and "without" are the same for me.
So "within" and "without" have the same aspirated "th" like in "those"...
Make sense?

I disagree. 90% of the time I would use a voiceless th sound in within--the same th as in "thin".

This probably occurs in the USA... not in England

I'd say well over 90% for me -- in fact I can't offhand think of anyplace I'd used a voiced "th" in "within".

Well, I can't think of any occasion where I would ever use an unvoiced 'th'. It is voiced, as in 'this', and 'the'.
So it seems as if it's usually voiceless in North America, and voiced in Britain.
Thanks.
Can you provide a definition for the phrase "somebody's for the taking?"

I say it with both "th" sounds, depending on circumstances, but usually with the "th" in "tooth"
