How To Pronounce Altogether

In British English, altogether is pronounced /ˌɔːl.təˈɡeð.ə/. The narrow phonetic transcription is [ˌɔːɫ.təˈɡeð.ə]. In American English, it is pronounced /ˌɔːl.təˈɡeð.ər/.

Altogether has four syllables, and the main stress falls on the third syllable. The British and American pronunciations are different, so listen to both.

Slashes / / show the phonemic transcription, the sounds that change meaning. Square brackets [ ] show the phonetic transcription, with the finer detail of how the sounds are actually made.
