How do you even prounounce these words ?????

There is one word in particular that I have always had trouble prounouncing - "Suite".

Is it "Sweet" or "Soot" or ?? and my obviously incorrect pronunciation ( a hash of sweet/soot and please don't ask how many to mess that up :D)  has got me many funny looks.

So I decided to look it up and along with it look up a few more of the "funny" ones and write up the phonetic way of prounouncing the words.

1. Suite - Yup it is "Sweet" and not "Soot" or my mish mash version

2. Scion - "Sion" ( easy for mumbaikers to remember).

- A young member of a rich and famous family.

3. Cynosure - "Sign-a-sure".

- A person or thing that is so good that it attracts a lot of attention.

4. Circumlocution - "Sir-come-lok-u-shun"

- An indirect way of saying something - especially something unpleasant.

5. Albeit - "All-be-it". 

Means - Although.

One of the few words which is actually a phonetic set up albeit with a missing L but we tend to mess it up.

6. Macabre - "Mah-Kaab". This is the English prounciation while the American sounds like " Muh-Kaab-Rahh."

- Used to describe something strange and unpleasant because it is connected with death or violence.
