Hi there

Thank you for your question. The pronunciation of the word 'belligerent' is as follows; buh/li/jr/uhnt. (If you say these sounds out exactly how they are written in this example, then that is how you will pronounce it.)

The meaning of this word is someone that is hostile or aggressive, and someone who is inclined to argue or fight with others. The word 'belligerent' is used as an adjective which means it adds information to a noun. For example:  

- He was a belligerent person.

- The man proceeded to apologize to the belligerent customers, although they did not want to listen.

I hope this explanation helps and I look forward to assisting you with further queries you may have.
