you spelled it right, and it means “only”
Bingo. Give that @poof the GA.
Souly – “In the state of being the sexiest man on Earth”
Ok ok, I think I didn’t explain myself, I want to know how to say it, pronounce it.. But thanks for the definicion!! No one of my ’‘gringo’’ amigos could answer this! No offense for the ’‘gringo’’ word please..
sol (long “o” sound… like “sun” in Spanish) ee.
Sol ee
If you click on the merriam-webster link, you can hear it pronounced for you.
Technically, it’s pronounced SOL – LEE (both “L” sounds are pronounced. But that’s hard to say or understand clearly when spoken quickly, so it often comes out sounding like SOL-EE (or SO-LEE, which would be basically the same thing).
They’re lying to you. It’s pronounced WC-MQ-HXSP, but the “M” is silent.
@ratboy No, no… It’s spelled Raymond Luxury Yacht, but it’s pronounced Throatwarbler Mangrove!
@2late2be: Forget these would-be-comedians. Think of a solo performance (one person singing). The adjective sole means, among other things, the one and only as in a sole bank account as opposed to a joint bank account or the sole member of a club of one.
This could be the new Merriam Webster or www.Dictionary.com thread: I propose a Word of the Day for our friend:
Flunk: To fluther while under the influence (From Zen; Fluther + drunk)
Good job on spelling it right, too! I ALWAYS misspell it. Thank goodness for spell check!
