English Language & Usage Asked on June 17, 2021
The former seems more natural to me, and is personally what I’ve used, but the latter is easier to pronounce.
Pronunciable is incorrect. The correct adjective for ‘something that can be pronounced’ is pronounceable. Adjectives that end with the suffix -able are mostly formed from (transitive) verbs. In this case, the verb is ‘pronounce’:
Also note that you cannot remove the e from ‘pronounceable’ because if you do, it will turn the /s/ of ‘pronounce’ to a /k/ (*pronouncable).
