Is it "comrad" or "comrayd"? (hexbear.net)

Which is it? Which do you use? Are there different associations between them?

I've always said it "comrad," but when I started to meet people in orgs, they predominantly say "comrayd" (within the same country).

How do you pronounce camaraderie? I’ve never heard anyone say com-ray-dar-e” so I usually go with “com-rad”

I'd say "camaraderie" with the vowel in palm, and "comrade" with the vowel in trap.

KAH-mah-rah-dare-ee.

Exactly my thoughts!

That's also how I remember whether to say "ih-TAL-ih-yan" vs "AYE-tal-e-yan".. there is no "AYE-tal-ee"
