Which is it? Which do you use? Are there different associations between them?
I’ve always said it “comrad,” but when I started to meet people in orgs, they predominantly say “comrayd” (within the same country).

Just stick with /tʰʊŋ³⁵ ʈ͡ʂʐ̩⁵¹/ honestly. If you accidentally use it on an anti-communist you can just say you thought they were a fellow member of the LGBT community.
(I’m American and say comrad)
is that a rendering of 同志 in… IPA? doesn’t look like IPA to me but I have little knowledge of it
Yeah it’s the Sinological IPA I got from Wiktionary lol
TIL how IPA does tone marks with those small numbers. very cool
There are a few different ways IPA can represent tone. I’ve more commonly seen tone represented with ˩ ˨ ˧ ˦ ˥ which can form ligatures like ˦˧˥
Well that’s how Sinological IPA does it anyway
