Hello everyone,

I’d like to know how to pronounce the word ‘odds’? Do you pronounce [d] in [ɔdz]? I listened to a audio file which comtains this word. It seems like that [d] in the word is soundless and odds shoud read [ɔz]. :?

Good morning Shi.

You are aware that " odd " is not the singular of odds, and has a completely different meaning .

Odd = peculiar, or strange.

" That’s an odd smell."
" He is an odd kind of person ."

Hope you are keeping well.

I note that you continue to improve. Remarkable progress in such a short space of time. !

Good morning Bill, ( it’s 17:50 here in my area)

Thank you for your detaild explanations, I’ll bear in mind that odds is not the plural(openly, I thought it was) form of odd and they are different in meaning. :slight_smile:
