How do you pronounce "Pterodactyl"?
Heyy, While helping my child with their dinosaur-themed homework, we stumbled upon the word "pterodactyl" and realized we weren't sure how to pronounce it. Figuring it's better to ask for help than to guess.

Hi there 


Thank you for your question. If we spell the word out the way in which it should be said, we use phonetic spelling. However, in English, occasionally the words are not spelt how they should be said. Pertaining to the word 'pterodactyl', it is pronounced as follows: teh-ruh-dak-til.


I hope this helps you and we look forward to assisting you with any further questions you may have.
