Hi I hope someone can help me identify a word that sounds like ‘anatyze’ 1 minute and 29/30 seconds into the following video: Netto Denmark - Specialised solution for automated order picking of fresh fruit & vegetables I have played it over several times and it does sound like the narrator is saying ‘anatyze’. I have not been able to find a definition for it, if indeed the word is ‘analyze’. I look forward to your feedback ---

It should have read: "Question about a word ‘anatyze’ (not ‘analyze’). ---

I believe the word the speaker uses is “palletizing.” The P is really soft, so I had to listen a few times before I heard it. To be sure, I Googled palletizing machines to see what they were. It is a machine that automatically places items on a pallet. This fits the context of the video perfectly. The company automated picking fruit and packing it. ---

Yes, palletizing. It’s an unusual word, and it seems to me that the narrator just mangles the pronunciation, but they didn’t bother to go back and re-record it. ---

Yep, palletizing ---

When I have this problem I always try turning on the Closed Captioning. It’s not always well done, but in this case it was right there. “Palletizing” is correct. ---

Well, that’s a shame. I rather liked the idea of _anatizing_ those vegetables. Should mean “turn into a duck”, right? ---
