Hi! whenever I have such questions, I look up an online dictionary because they usually have the phonetic transcription and many of them also have the audio. I usually use this website: dictionary.cambridge.orgI �ve just looked it up and according to the phonetic transcrition they are pronunced the same - /ˈbɒd·i/ /kɪˈlɒm·ɪ·tər/ However, when I listen to the audio, it does sound different (at least to me). Hope my answer has been helpful. |

The American pronunciation of the �o � is the same, in my opinion and different in British pronunciation. /kɪˈlɒm ɪ tər, is one of the American pronunciations given by dictionary.com /ˈbɒd I/ is American . As you can see, the ɒ sound is used in both words. It can also be pronounced as ˈkɪl əˌmi‐/ . |
