How to pronounce ratatui

tool creator-clarified

rat uh too ee /ˌræ.təˈtu.i/ mp3

ratatui is most commonly pronounced "rat uh too ee" (/ˌræ.təˈtu.i/). This pronunciation is documented by the project itself (see ratatui GitHub README (official)).

Dominant Rust terminal-UI crate (powers gitui and many TUIs); community fork of tui-rs (2023). Official README documents the IPA ˌræ.təˈtu.i; named after the dish/Pixar film Ratatouille. STRESS: rat-uh-TOO-ee (primary stress on TOO).

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.

Hear it from the command line

$ say-it ratatui # primary × 3 + audible "or: …" for each alternate
$ say-it --why ratatui # print the dict entry with source URL

Install the CLI: git clone https://github.com/anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce.git && cd pronounce && ./install.sh
