The spelling of the word "Trousdale" is tricky, as it contains several unusual letters, particularly the "ou" combination followed by "s" and "d." The correct pronunciation is /traʊz.ˈdeɪl/, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The initial "T" is pronounced like a regular "T," while the "ou" sound is a diphthong, starting with an "ah" sound and ending with an "oo" sound. The "s" in "sda" is pronounced like a "z," and the final "e" is silent.
