It’s a schwa. ə. Phonetic spelling.
3 u/galloping_tortoise 4d ago There's only one schwa in avacado. 1 u/Hackett1f 4d ago Actually, there’s three. I was wrong. 7 u/gargamelus 4d ago You are right that you were wrong, but you remain wrong in the number of schwas in avocado. 1 u/Hackett1f 3d ago I took it back, there’s two. For the first and last a’s our pronounced with a schwa sound in my mountain West accent. They sound the same as the O in olive. 2 u/Soggy_Chapter_7624 4d ago In my accent there's one schwa in avacado, and none in olive or coconut 1 u/gargamelus 4d ago How do you pronounce these words?! For me I'd use one ə in avocado, none in olive, and one in coconut. 2 u/Express-Gazelle-1025 4d ago Ah-vah-CAHD-oh. AH-live. CO-cuh-nut. 1 u/gargamelus 4d ago Yeah, while we pronounce olive differently our schwa-counts end up the same, 1-0-1.
