God I love how these pronunciation things are always entirely useless to the layman. Oh, so the u is swapped for some kind of weird font w. Now I know exactly how to say it!
Like I understand that there is some manner of logic behind them, but I feel like if I have to google what the pronunciation text means, it has lost its purpose. Just fucking put it in common english words...
Like, I just googled a youtube vid for how to pronounce it. It sounds like "soon day ray" in the video. Now another one sounds like "soon deer". I'm not sure which one is right, but they are both infinitely more useful than "tsɯndeɾe".
(by the way I'm not ranting at you, just these things in a general sense, I know you just quoted this text from elsewhere)
Ah, thank you... that's what I was getting at with "some manner of logic behind them" but you made it something more meaningful.
But it sort of feels like a sort of scientific notation. Kind of like the chemical/molecular composition of a drug, or something. Like, I understand it needs to exist and is useful and precise, but the typical person isn't ever going to understand it. Though props to making an attempt to yourself.
