Would you say Tah-lee-uh or tar-lee-uh?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I pronounce it like Italia without the I. Although the only one I've ever met pronounced it Tay-Leah.

@MrsRobbieHart

For some Scottish people poor pour and paw all sound different.

I’m in NI I was furious with my sons primary school teacher for marking him wrong on a homework. He had to circle the homophones. One of the options was poor and pour. DS didn’t circle them. Because they don’t sound the same. He was marked wrong. Stupid teacher clearly printed something off an English teaching website and didn’t even bother to check what the words were when he was marking it.

I'm sitting here repeating pour, paw and poor and cannot for the life of me get them to sound the same! Accents are so funny.

Not all southerners speak RP. Who'da thunk it.

South does not equal South East/ Home Counties.

@TwinsandTrifle

But they way you'd written (and therefore pronounce?) "grah-s" does.

No, the way you interpret that phonetic spelling of grass rhymes with bars/Mars. I'd also phonetically write grass as grah-ss and grass rhymes with ass, Mass, crass

Ta-lee-a

TwinsandTrifle · 06/10/2021 21:25

"Bali in a Scottish accent has a short a, same as in the word clap*

Like the "ball" in ballet, so "ball-ee"

Well I never.

OhLordyWhatNow · 06/10/2021 21:24

Mars and cars sounds the same as bars.

Flufferty · 06/10/2021 21:24

Tar Lee Uh

OhLordyWhatNow · 06/10/2021 21:23

I would pronounce Talia Tahhh-lia, but dahlia day-lia

Bali in a Scottish accent has a short a, same as in the word clap. Comments like it's baaa like a sheep don't help because Scottish people pronounce baa differently to English folk (whether Northern or Southern generally).

I'd pronounce Talia with a short a like in clap. Just like I pronounce Tara, Clara etc. English people almost exclusively pronounce these with a long a.

OhLordyWhatNow · 06/10/2021 21:20

Grass and Mars/ cars do not sound the same

horseymum · 06/10/2021 21:20

You know some people pronounce things differently? For some Scottish people poor pour and paw all sound different. Bali and barley also sound different. Unless you use the actual phonetic alphabet you won't get an accurate representation of how someone pronounces something like this. It's a nice name btw.

InTheLabyrinth · 06/10/2021 21:20

Baa-li sounds the same as bar-ley to me.
And the tar you put on the road is the same as ta for thank you.

I cant quite write it down. Its neither tar or tah at the beginning, imo. A sort of blend of the two.

OhLordyWhatNow · 06/10/2021 21:19

Round here Bath is pronounced similar to someone from Yorkshire. Short A.

Bali - Baa li, where Baa = bahhh. Long A

Barley has an R sound, same as Bar.

ISpyCobraKai · 06/10/2021 21:19

Ta-lee-a.
I'm from the north and say grass and Bath, not Grarss and barth.

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 06/10/2021 21:18

Tal ee ah

TwinsandTrifle · 06/10/2021 21:17

Grah-s as in rhymes with Mars? Or cars?

Not grass that rhymes with sparse?

SunsetOverEasterIsland · 06/10/2021 21:16

It probably depends if you are from the North or the South. In the North it would be Tal ee a ( a as in Apple) but in the South, probably Tar lee ah. It's a bit like Bath or Baarth 😁

OhLordyWhatNow · 06/10/2021 21:15

Grah-s not not gr-arse

mummog · 06/10/2021 21:15

Tah-lee-ah

My mother's Pakistani friend has that as a surname and this is the pronunciation.

TwinsandTrifle · 06/10/2021 21:14

As in I pronounce Baa and Bar the same? This is like fork and pork all over again

Xmasfairy86 · 06/10/2021 21:14

@OhLordyWhatNow

I'm southern. There's no R in Bath, grass, or father

There is an r in grass…. 🤔
