Do people actually pronounce it “BIO-pic” btw? I always say “bi-OP-ic”.
People started pronouncing it bio-pic in the last decade or so. I dunno where it started but it spread quick.
It’s a contraction of Biography Picture.
Biography is often shortened to Bio. As in “fill in the Bio on your account profile.”
Picture is often shortened to Pic. As in “I’ll send you a Pic, it’s easer than explaining.”
So yah. It’s Bio-Pic. Always has ben
yeah like bio-graffy and bio-loogy
Those are suffixes, not compound words. Entirely different.
Ography and Ology aren’t words themselves, only modifiers.
no but graphy and logy are
I really don’t think so.
-graphy
-logy
Use them in a sentence.
Logy can be a word, shortening lethargic. But it’s spelling is only coincidence, as the meaning is unrelated to “the study of”.
man these graphycs make me wanna logy off
😂
So close
you didn’t say anything about it being a good sentence
Right, but constructed words don’t necessarily use the pronounciation from their constituent parts
I have only ever heard it pronounced the second way
