How do i pronounce this word?

[LuckyLopez]

Prophetic?

I can hear all the sounds but I'm not sure where to put the emphasis. Needs to be right as I'm reading it aloud in public!

Pro-fet-ic

Thank you

came out wrong - was trying to emphasise middle bit.

May I ask one that's always bugged me?

Gamine.

Game-ine
Or
Game-een
?

Does it sort of rhyme with pathetic?

NB. Don't actually say pathetic.

fusty- Ga-meen. (well- I hope I'm saying it correctly!)

What about Dais?

Gam-een?

It does rhyme with pathetic. Doesn't start with a 'pro' sound but a shorter 'pruh'. Sort of pruh-fettic. Listen here.

Voile - never known how to say it

Dais I say die ass but I might be wrong

Anyone know how to pronounce Giclee (of art work/print)

day iss

zhee-clay

Voile rhymes with soil but you can be a pretentious wanker and pronounce it vwharl if you like.

Ah someone did that to me and I went "Wha.. oh yes" then doubted myself. Thanks :)

Thanks Saul - I was considering ordering one and would need to phone up and didn't want to sound like a twat. :)

I have one, if I can butt in? Anise. We have a star anise herbal tea at work and every time I go through the flavours I say "ah-NEESE" but I'm sure I'm wrong!

Another I've just thought of which I asked DP about this morning- cenotaph. I'm so rubbish I actually thought it was cenoPATH until I googled how to spell it.

Is it pronounced sen-o-taff?

Sorry for my hijack!

Yes to sen-o-taff and a-nees (I think!)

Most online dictionaries have a pronunciation guide: see www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/gamine - click on the loudspeaker :) (obvs quietly if you're in an office...)

Apparently dais is pronounced 'dayss'. I didn't know that!!

Voile like soil?

Yes, prophetic = pathetic, emphasis on the 'fet'

I. Love. Pronunciation .

I only wish I could type in phonemes on my phone

Most helpful, thanks everyone.
