Proper Pronunciation Guide
asked
[æsk̚t]
Tips:
- Pronounce this word as one syllable.
- Be sure to pronounce /s/ first and then/k/. Reversing these sounds produces the word “axed.”
- Stop the /k/ and then explode the/t/ lightly. Exploding the/k/ results in the word being slightly over-pronounced but is preferable to omitting the/k/ altogether, which results in the non-word “assed.” (We can only guess as to what this might mean.)
