Talking Did you eat yet?

I have a sort of trivia question, but it's for non-native English speakers only. Native English speakers can participate, but please don't give away the answers yet.

I was just with a friend and I asked him if he had eaten yet. And in that moment my Krashen output monitor kicked in and I heard the phrase I had just said. What I said was:
Did you eat yet?
So now for the adivinanza:

1. Tell me how many syllables I used to pronounce that phrase.
2. Give me an IPA representation of my pronunciation.

Hints: I'm a US English speaker and I was speaking normal, but pretty fast.

Remember if you're a native English speaker, let the non-natives have a try at this first please.

Have at it
