Can we have a 'how do you pronounce that' thread please?

[Wonkybanana]

I'll start with one that drives me crackers, Louboutin.

Is it -
LOO-boo-tan

Loo-BOO-tan
or
Loo-Boo-TAN

Please put me out of my misery!
(As you might have guessed, they're not in my price range however it's pronounced.)

Cholmondley is Chumley I think

Yo-sem-itty

Yes, it's chumley, just thought I'd throw it in the pot.

Chirenchester?

Jewellery-
Jew-la-ree
Jewel-ree
Dual-ree

Schedule , is it
Shed-u-al or
Sced ual

I've spelt that wrong, sorry.

One I’m always unsure, of whilst we are on beauty/perfume brands, is Issey Miyake. ????

Shed yule = English
Sked Yule = US

Is-see Mee-ya-kee

I love this thread.

Lat-Tay for me

Shed-Yule, DEFINITELY! 'Sked-Yule' drives me nuts!

I also love Left-tenant rather than Loo-tenant for Lieutenant but mainly because the former is so clearly, wonderfully crackers!

I never know how to pronounce:

Synecdoche

Hegemony

Estrella. The Spanish woman in the pub told me you don’t pronounce the L, but then someone else said when they went to Spain they did so I’m stumped.

Fortunately the first two don’t come up in conversation very often.

I wonder if the English started saying LEFT-tenant to piss off the French?

Carole has an emphasis on the second syllable.

What now?

Sin-ec-doh-key, I think?

I had to make such an effort to learn that one after I made a tit of myself pronouncing it incorrectly in a seminar at university (I'd only ever seen it written, not heard it said!)

Es-tray-a
Hedge-a-money
Sin-ech-do-kay.

Submariner

Furore
Is it fyoo roor
Or fu roor ray

Sub MA rin uh

@GoldenTickett Son-Sare

@bsc thanks, I get embarrassed at saying words i’m unsure how to pronounce

Some Scottish place names for you....
.Culzean
.Milngavie
.Auchtermuchty
.Kirkcudbright
.Kilconquhar

Schedule is meant to be pronounced Sked-yul. The Americans have it right as it's a Greek word and should have a K sound to it. I pronounce it Sked-yul, so does everyone else I know! I've never heard anyone say shed-yul

The double L in Estrella is a y.
So you do pronounce it, it just isn't an L.

By the way, am I allowed to bash anyone over the head who says "choritso" or "choreezo"?
