Speech & Pronunciation
Need help with the pronunciation for "ampliative."
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to pronounce "ampliative." Some dictionaries to which i have access either don't have the word, have no pronunciation, or the pronunciation Am"*** which i don't know how to interpret.
Although not necessary (since you may have better methods), pronunciations of this form are adequate:
AM plee uh tiv
am PLEE uh tiv
am plee AY tiv
Thanks!

Hi Swampy,
No, I haven't figured it out yet. I've been trying to get various opinions. With your suggestion, it's now a tie between pronouncing it with the stress in the first and second syllables. (Am I assuming right that you're pronouncing PLIE with a long "e" sound like in "bee"?)
