Pronunciation[edit]

The audio file (pronunciation of superfluous) does not play correctly on my computer. It does not say 'superfluous', but '-purfluous'. 24.107.184.245 18:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don’t know what the problem could be. It plays correctly for me. —Stephen 00:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Stress variant, third syllable[edit]

The pronunciation "soo-pə[r]-FLOO-us" seems to be fairly common, if uneducated-sounding. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 05:09, 17 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yay. I always said it like that. But I'm not a native speaker, so I'm allowed to use less desirable pronunciations. I'm glad it does at least exist. 92.218.236.143 20:23, 9 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
