Actually since I imagine suffusence is a “verb” and based on the English rules mentioned above, I think the proper pronunciation is Suh-fuh-SENSE-ing


Apply my KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle
Suffing or Suffering work quite well

SUH-fuh-cents-ing
In the English language U followed by f always has a uhh sound.


Stress the first syllable of:
Most two-syllable nouns (examples: CLImate, KNOWledge)
Most two-syllable adjectives (examples: FLIPpant, SPAcious)
Stress the last syllable of:
Most two-syllable verbs (examples: reQUIRE, deCIDE)
Stress the second-to-last syllable of:
Words that end in -ic (examples: ecSTATic, geoGRAPHic)
Words ending in -sion and -tion (examples: exTENsion, retriBUtion)
Stress the third-from-last syllable of:
Words that end in -cy, -ty, -phy and -gy (examples: deMOCracy, unCERtainty, geOGraphy, radiOLogy)
Words that end in -al (examples: exCEPtional, CRItical)


really? Think you kinda missed the point of his argument. They want to know where you put the emphasis in the word.

It's a long u, as in fuse. The e after the s makes it long.

Suffuse is the base word.


I always kinda figured suffuse was the base word.

Was having a debate with a few fellow slashers about how to pronounce Suffusencing. Is it:

A: suh - few - sense - ing
B: suh - fuse - ence - ing

Sorry for bothering you and thanks for you time :)


A is how I say it.
This is presuming fuse in B is pounced with a hard s (z).


I pm'd him a month ago. ;)
It's how you are presenting it. Thanks
Your syllables are for how I pronounce it. You can't use the same syllables for a different sound. Goodness. The way you sound it out says sing is a syllable except it's not. Ing is a syllable..

Suf use senc ing

The point is still that the intonation, the tonic syllable is one of a proparoxytone and not of a paraoxytone as you're suggesting. This means that the third-to-last syllable is where the emphasis is placed. I don't care if I misplaced the syllable separation. The debate is over. We have an answer from the head honcho. I think everyone can make their choices now indeed.

You can google all these technical terms all you'd like but the fact of the matter is that you broke the syllables down wrong yet again.
Suf-fuse-senc-ing sounds exactly how I say it.
Not suf-fuze-enc-ing which is the way you say it and those syllables don't even add up properly, but that's just because you are saying it wrong.
You can't capitalize different parts of the same syllables and get different sounds lol.

Edit- I apologize for the spam Paul. This will be my last post on the topic. simply put if the way you are sounding something doesn't add up to syllables that actually make sense. Then you are saying it wrong. Plain and simple.

This thread delivers.

I giggled hard at the discussion re: pronunciation.
