Hey, guys, this is a bit embarrassing, but I've been wondering how to pronounce this word ever since I discovered Head-fi 18 months ago.

Is it like "soup+raw+oral"?

Or "suh+praw+oral"?

Or "sue+pruh+owrel"?

Or "super+oral"?

Or "sew+prá+owel"?

If this turns out as well as I think it will, I think this might make for a really good sticky thread for future new people.

 

[Zombie_X]

soup+rah+oral

That's the way I say it.

 

[lucky]

Supra--like the Toyota + Aural--like the word.

 

[nadavnaz]

very informative.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Like tomato, potato or even Grado.

Is Grado not pronounced Grah-Do?
I guess it could be pronounce Grei-Do

 

[earthpeople]

I've always pronounced Grado as Gray-doe

and I'm with lucky on how to pronounce supra-aural.

 

[nullstring]

Gray == Grei

Seems you were correct.

[Sennshead]

my anatomy professors from med school pronounce it one of two ways, both start with supra (like the toyota) and then either "arl" as in Carl, or oral.

 

[leeperry]

sue-bra-oral?

 

[John Buchanan]

sue-prah awe-ral (to distinguish between that and supra oral).

|'soōprǝ 'ôrǝl|, to be painfully correct.
