So you might hear something that sounds identical to "complete," but it would be advisable to a learner to articulate it fully. | |

| Jun 22 at 17:53 | comment | added | Peter Kirkpatrick | Yes, it's correct. In fact, to me it's so obviously correct that I wonder if you're really asking another question. For example, you can say "job [is] complete" in certain contexts, but then it's not a verb, it's an adjective. Where it is clearly a verb (I completed the job last night) the terminal 'd' is pronounced normally as @MichaelHarvey has explained. | |
| Jun 22 at 17:44 | comment | added | manish ma | "Job completed" for example - is it correct to say "job com-plee-ted"? | |
| Jun 22 at 17:36 | comment | added | Michael Harvey | Where? What dialect or variety of English? Completed, rotated, deleted, (etc) all have a terminal 'd' that is pronounced in most prestigious/educated/cultured English variants - no 'special rule'. | |
