How To Pronounce Subsequent

In British English, subsequent is pronounced /ˈsʌb.sɪ.kwənt/. The narrow phonetic transcription is [ˈsʌb.sɪ.kʷw̥ə̃nt̚]. In American English, it is pronounced /ˈsʌb.sə.kwənt/.

Subsequent has three syllables, and the main stress falls on the first 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.
