I've been pronouncing retatrutide wrong, I'll bet you have too

[GimmeABreak]

So I watched EL's CEO on CNBC this morning talking with Cramer (LLY's stock was down about 6% today because they missed earnings, buying opportunity?) and when he started talking about reta I did a double take, "what did he just say?". Apparently, I have been saying retatrutide wrong all along.

I have always pronounced it reh-ta-tru-tide or reta-tru-tide

reta: rhymes with betta

tru: as in true

tide: like the ocean tide

The correct pronunciation : reh-tat-TROO-tide

reh : as in "red" (without the "d")

tat : as in tattoo

TROO : rhymes with "true"

tide : as in "tide" (the ocean tide)

For the reddit folks TIL.

I guess the shortened version should be "retat" then. Rhymes with rat.

 

[meowTime]

Nah I pronounce it how I want. They made the word up and they choose a dumb pronunciation that isn't how the average native English speaker would pronounce that word.

retta true tide forever

 

[chmuse]

Oh no

That's not how Google pronounced it. I couldn't get Google to show me (as opposed to giving me an audio) of how to pronounce it in English. I did get it to show me how to pronounce it in Chinese and it also gave me the Chinese spelling: 瑞他曲肽 Ruì tā qū tài. Although I could get Google to give me the audio in English, it wouldn't show you visually how to pronounce it.

Yay, I got this one right. Unlike wegovy, which I pronounced it like

WEG-oh-vee for about 9 months. Eventually I heard it on a commercial where they said we-GO-vee.

 

[GimmeABreak]

It took me a while to start pronouncing correctly. I still call reta "ree-ta" though. I guess when you makeup a word, you also get to determine how it's pronounced.

Me too. I still have a hard time pronouncing Bacteriostatic Water.

Is it Bac-teer-reo-static?

I was pronouncing Ra-tet-true-tide for the first 2 weeks after I’d heard about it. Then watched some YouTube videos of Chase Irons and realized I was wrong. To be honest. It felt wrong in the beginning but I couldn’t figure it out myself. I would stumble over the word and have to like think it out in my head.

 

[MrsRoper_1977]

That’s dumb. They should have asked us.

Better than me, (retta-true-tide) and when you say it how you pronounced it fast is actually pretty close to correct.

I’ve been seeing annoying advertisements on FB calling Semaglutide “sah-mag-la-tide.”

That’s how it’s pronounced in the Wegovy commercial.

Bacteria water. Semi. Triz. Rita.

Triz bothers me. To no end.

 

[BillGoldberg]

And to be honest. Probably just a typo.

I forgot the worst of the bunch: cargi.

Now I will sound smart. Thanks

It's weg-oh-vee to me, too... IDC.

Same though...
