Use of the 'e' is counter-intuitive.  Sister Caroline always said "drop the 'e' and add 'ly'"  This word is an exception.\nGod bless the English language.\n\n-MM

tu es jolie\n\nwould be the usual way to say this (it is pronounced the same way for male and female)\n\ntu es tres beau / belle\n\nsounds a bit over the top to me. if i heard someone say it i would assume they were smarming.

my experience would tell me to use "an" because opossum starts with a vowel - I prounounce it with the "o"\n\nthe "o" is silent in some accents, I think it depends where you are from, what your accent is, and how you pronounce words :-)

Im sure the answer is 'tarrthalai' and there's a fada over the second 'a' and the last letter 'i'. It's pronounced something like 'TAR-hawl-ee'\n\nHope this helps\n\nHave you decided what name to take yet, check out this website, it could give you some idea's www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/surname\nthe last bit on that web address is surname\n\nAh thanks croga xx

Copper's pronunciation can be found here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper\n\nNickel's pronunciation can be found here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel\n\nBoth Wikipedia articles show the pronunciation in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).

The suffix "-ology" means "the knowledge of". or "the study of", so whatever precedes the suffix has to be properly pronounced before the suffix itself is spoken. In this case what comes before the suffix is "zo-", and there is no grammatically sound reason for pronouncing "zo-" the same as "zoo".\n\nI work with a lot of scientists, and certain pronunciations do get on my nerves, and I stress them to students when I teach. For example, we do a lot of work with apoptosis, or "programmed cell death". When an english-speaking person sees "pop", he wants to pronounce it just as it appears. So I hear scientists all the time saying "a-POP-tosis". However, the root word here is "ptosis", a word with a silent "p" at the beginning. The prefix "apo-" precedes the root word. So the correct pronunciation is apo-ptosis, which sounds exactly like apo-tosis.

The two girls who put av-ril la-veen are correct.  But so you actually understand...just say it like advil but without the d and with an r before the i.  And her last name is la like the word lava and the word bean only with a v.  la-veen  Avril is French for April but since Avril does not speak French her family pronounces it the Anglicized way (the way that I told you).

Two.\n\nThe proper pronunciation is ev - ree\n\nIf you use the alternate pronunciation of "eh - ver - ee" it would be three, but that is not standard.

I personally say mom/dad because when i speak, I'm usually speaking in a less formal tone.  To me, mother/father is formal and I am not a huge fan of speaking formal terms for it seems less personal when talking to a person.

I'm going to say how it is pronounced in brazilian portuguese, since he is brazilian. In european portuguese it would be very different.\n\nRO - kind of like the HO in "home", but the "h" has to be a little stronger, like if you were speaking english with french accent :o)\n\nNAL - exactly like NOW\n\nDI - exactly like GEE, the expression of surprise we often hear in the movies :o)\n\nNHO - "nh" has the same sound as the spanish ñ (like in Espanã), and the "o" is pronounced almost like a "u"\n\nSo it would be something really close to HO-NOW-GEE-ÑU. The stress is in the "DI" ("GEE").
