Hi Puneet, Variableˈveriːjəbəl This word is pronounced "VAIR-ee-uh-buhl."

The stress is in the first syllable, just like in the verb, "to VAry". I use four syllables, but squashing the middle two syllables together would be fine.

I agree with Peachey that the middle two syllables can be squashed. From the Cambridge: UK ​ /ˈveə.ri.ə.bəl/ US ​ /ˈver.i.ə.bəl/. Note that the R is pronounced even in non-rhotic English (except for some SE US accents). Edit: the autocorrect mangled Peachey's name.
