How do you pronounce the word...

How do you pronounce the word "blithe"?

The "i" is pronounced like the "y" in "my", "by", and "fly". The following "th" sounds like the "th" in "this", "those", and "there". The final "e" is silent. One of the meanings of "blithe" is happy and carefree. It is a word that is mostly used in formal contexts.

*   Nataraj is one of those blithe spirits who cannot remain in one place for long.

*   Promod was blithely unaware of the trouble he had caused.
