Hello, Mohammed!
What is your question?
In the US, we pronounce it both ways. It depends on the context and the preference of the speaker.
As I said, in the US we say it both ways. Where I live, be-LOV-id is much more common than be-LOVD.Listen to my recording.
I did. I didn't hear a question.
When you make a post, always type out your question in the text. That helps us a lot.
Thanks [STRIKE]in advance[/STRIKE].
Please listen to my recording. [STRIKE]Thanks in advance.[/STRIKE]
And in any event, don't use "in advance" anywhere, ever. Of course it's in advance. We can't answer a question before you ask it.It's much more important to say "Please" when you're asking people to do something than to thank them in advance. It is important to thank them after they help you.
Did I pronounce them in a good way?As I said, in the US we say it both ways. Where I live, be-LOV-id is much more common than be-LOVD.
No. The plural is "thanks".Can I add es to thanks to mean plural?
Both of the ways you pronounced "beloved" were okay. You don't sound like a native speaker but you're easily understandable.Did I pronounce them in a good way?
It's true. Some people like it and some don't. Here's why I don't:Some folks evidently really dislike "Thanks in advance." It doesn't bother me a bit and it's widely used in American English (at least) to indicate anticipated gratitude. I suggest UsingEnglish members refrain from using it here because some of our most valued members don't like it. Don't worry about using it elsewhere.
