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).

TIL how IPA does tone marks with those small numbers. very cool

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

There are a few different ways IPA can represent tone. I've more commonly seen tone represented with ˩ ˨ ˧ ˦ ˥ which can form ligatures like ˦˧˥

Well that's how Sinological IPA does it anyway
