Phonetic breakdown

The word consists of three syllables: ro-ton-de, with the primary stress on the second syllable.

Learners often mispronounce the final 'e' as a full 'eh' sound, whereas it should be a short, unstressed schwa sound.

In the Netherlands, you must always yield to traffic already inside the roundabout unless signs indicate otherwise.
