What does "RSVP" pronunciation?
Good evening teacher. After receiving a fancy invitation in the mail with "RSVP" written at the bottom, I found myself puzzled by what it meant and how to pronounce it correctly. So, I decided to approach you to clarify both its meaning and pronunciation.

Hi there! Great question, and I'm glad you're eager to learn more about this word. "RSVP" is an abbreviation from the French phrase "répondez s'il vous plaît," which means "please respond." In English, it is pronounced as the individual letters: R-S-V-P. Here’s the detailed breakdown:
IPA Format: /ˌɑr ɛs vi ˈpi/
Phonetic Spelling: "ahr ESS vee PEE" (the stress is on the capitalized letters)
Sample Sentence:
"Please make sure to RSVP by Friday so we can finalize the guest list."
In French, it is pronounced as "ray-PONG-day seel voo play," or ré·pon·dez s'il vous plaît, in IPA format.
Thank you, and I hope this helps!
