Doubt on pronunciation

Question

I would like to know if in the word "adoptado" we pronounce the "p"...

Thank you everyone!!

Answer 1

Yes, but the sound is kind of muffled because it comes together with the "T"

Think of it as in English "adopt"

You wouldn't say adop, ending with a strong "P" and then follow it with a strong "T", would you?

Answer 2

Educated people will pronounce it, but many won't do it.

Answer 3

Yes, you do pronounce the P !! /a-dop- ta- do/ Many people say, "adotado", but that is the same as when people say, "cementery" in English. It should be / cem-e-ter-e/ LUCK

Answer 4

Yes, you do pronounce the 'P'. But it is much softer, and not aspirated, unlike the English 'P'.

Answer 5
