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).

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

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 3 points 8 hours ago

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
