How do you pronounce placide?

The word "placide" is a French word, and its pronunciation is a bit tricky for English speakers.

Here's how to pronounce it:

Pla-seed

* Pla: The "a" sounds like the "a" in "father"

* -cide: The "ci" sounds like the "si" in "vision"

So, the "c" before the "i" is pronounced with a "s" sound, similar to the English word "decide".

Important note: "Placide" is a French word, so it's more common to hear it spoken in a French accent. The "e" at the end of the word is often silent or pronounced with a very slight "uh" sound.
