How to Pronounce Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism?
Dear teachers, I was reading a medical article and stumbled upon the word "Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism." I tried saying it out loud, but it was so long and complicated that I got tongue-tied. Could you please tell me the correct way to pronounce this mouthful?

Of course! Here’s the correct pronunciation with phonetic spelling:
Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism
/ˌsuː.doʊˌsuː.doʊˌhaɪ.poʊˌpær.əˈθaɪ.roɪ.dɪ.zəm/
Breakdown:
- Pseudo → /ˈsuː.doʊ/ (sounds like "soo-doh")
- Pseudo → /ˈsuː.doʊ/ (repeat the first part)
- Hypo → /ˈhaɪ.poʊ/ (sounds like "hi-po")
- Para → /ˈpær.ə/ (sounds like "par-uh")
- Thyroid → /ˈθaɪ.roɪd/ (sounds like "thigh-roid")
- Ism → /ˈɪ.zəm/ (sounds like "iz-uhm")
Say it slowly: Soo-doh-Soo-doh-Hai-poh-Par-uh-Thigh-roid-Iz-uhm
Let me know if you need further clarification!
