How do you pronounce prompt?

The word "prompt" can be pronounced in two ways, depending on the context:

1. "Prompt" as an adjective or noun:

* Pronunciation: /prɑːmpt/

* Example: "He gave a prompt reply."

2. "Prompt" as a verb:

* Pronunciation: /prɑːm(p)t/

* Example: "The actor prompted the forgetful performer."

The difference in pronunciation lies in the final "t" sound. In the adjective/noun form, the "t" is pronounced clearly. When used as a verb, the "t" sound may be softened or even silent, especially in casual speech.

However, in both cases, the initial "p" sound is pronounced, and the "o" has a long "o" sound, like in "boat."
