student asking question

I've used the word "pronounce" to indicate the pronunciation of words. However, does it also have the same meaning as "declare?"

Yes, that's right! It does have the same meaning as "declare" or "announce," as well as meaning the "pronunciation" of words. Ex: The pronunciation of that word is difficult. Ex: They pronounced the CEO's son as the new CEO of the company. He'll be starting from next year.
