Question

correct pronunciation of abode

Answer 1

It's pronounced like this:

Take the "ab" sound from ABOUT/ABIDE

The next sound is, like, BOARD (in British Accent, or any non rhotic one, where you don't pronounce the letter R) Or it can be like Boat (with American accent where we pronounce T as D)

/əˈboʊd/

The stress is to be on BOde, and A syllable should be reduced...


Okay, this was for American Accent, in general, you can exaggerate "O(a)" to speak Texan, which I follow too.


In Queen's :

Well I don't know this one, I can only guess from my experience with Brit speakers :

It should be like ab+O(u)+de, where I is a bit exaggerated and slightly sounding like o+u
