How to Pronounce 'Synecdoche' - Synecdoche, New York (2008)

Synecdoche, New York

[mkworkman]

A synecdoche (/sɪˈnɛkdəki/ sin-NEK-tə-kee, from Greek συνεκδοχή synekdochē, lit. "simultaneous understanding") is a figure of speech in which a term for a part of something refers to the whole of something or vice versa.

Oh oh oh! Can you help me with some Japanese words too? Actually I was wondering how you pronounce the word. Imagine not being able to see this movie at the theater because you don't know how to pronounce the title to the guy in the booth.

Thanks for honestly thought it was pronounced "sin-ek-dotch"!

[kiriebr]

I feel all grubby for spending effort on a word that I've only ever heard used in reference to the balls-achingly boring film .
