How To Say Solidity Phonetically
Say the part in capitals loudest. This plain spelling is a guide; the IPA above is exact.
In British English, solidity is pronounced /səˈlɪd.ə.ti/. The narrow phonetic transcription is [səˈlɪd.ə.ti]. In American English, it is pronounced /səˈlɪd.ə.t̬i/.
Solidity has four syllables, and the main stress falls on the second syllable. The British and American pronunciations are different, so listen to both.
Slashes / / show the phonemic transcription, the sounds that change meaning. Square brackets [ ] show the phonetic transcription, with the finer detail of how the sounds are actually made.

The Letter y
The letter y before a vowel is usually a consonant, /j/. After a consonant it is usually a vowel.
yes /jes/yam /jæm/city /ˈsɪt.i/
Here. Solidity /səˈlɪd.ə.ti/
- Rule 3
Mark The Stressed Syllable
When a word has more than one syllable, the primary stress marker must be placed before the stressed syllable. It is wrong to write /lɔː.jə/ without the stress marker.
lawyer /ˈlɔː.jə/
Here. Solidity /səˈlɪd.ə.ti/
- Rule 7
Stress Mark Replaces The Dot
Do not place a syllable boundary marker where the stress marker appears. /ðeɪ.ə.naʊ.ˈhɪə/ is not acceptable.
They are now here /ðeɪ.ə.naʊˈhɪə/
Here. Solidity /səˈlɪd.ə.ti/
