How many syllables in temperature. Some people will pronounce temperature with four syllables (tem-per-a-ture), others will pronounce it with three syllables (tem-per-ture).
But which one is correct?
The pronunciation ‘tem-per-ture’ is incorrect.
The three-syllable pronunciation is ‘tem-pre-ture’
Hi Bigbang,
This is one of those words where the sounds are sometimes merged and although, if we want to be totally clear, we would use 4 syllables to make sure the listener can perfectly hear what you are saying, the 3 syllable version would be the norm.
