Best Answer

It will be influenced by your own accent and dialect but generally, each "A" and the "C" is hard as in "cat" and the syllable "tite" is as spelt, or in "tight". Some people tend to put a slight, hard "I" sound to the second "A", but the formal way is STAL AC TITE.

The usual pronunciation is stuh-LAHK-tyts (stuh lack tights), and one way to remember the difference between stalactites and stalagmites is that stalactites are "stuck tight" to the ceiling of caves.
