♫ "Learned" ♫


Me and my brother were debating over dinner yesterday on the pronunciation of the word "learned".
He said it was pronounced as "lur-nid" and I argued that it should be "lurnd".
And he just showed me this website.

learn·ed /ˈlɜrnɪd for 1–3; lɜrnd for 4/
Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[lur-nid for 1–3; lurnd for 4]
Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective
1. having much knowledge; scholarly; erudite: learned professors.
2. connected or involved with the pursuit of knowledge, esp. of a scholarly nature: a learned journal.
3. of or showing learning or knowledge; well-informed: learned in the ways of the world.
4. acquired by experience, study, etc.: learned behavior.


Apparently there are 2 pronunciation, depending on the meaning.
