Cinema or Cinemar - yes, it's a pronunciation one!

[chomalungma]

I say cinema with a hard 'a' as in c /a / t

But listening to the radio, someone pronounced it 'cinemar' as in ' ar' at the end.

So what do you say?

(I have more )

Sinimu

Cinemuh

Sinna-muh (very short ‘muh’ sound)

mar at the end but that's my accent (geordie)

Cinemar here.

Sin-a-mar

Ok

So I heard another one - on Radio 4

Reproduction

Ree / production or Re / production? (as in b/e/t)

Cinemuh

The Pictures

Damn you @WinWinnieTheWay

You beat me to it

Cinemah

I say "cinemAH"

I think people who say "cinemAR" are probably a bit posher/from down south

Envelope or onvelope?

kinema!

I agree cinem-ahr is down South.

I am from Glasgow and say 'Sin-i-muh'

@WinWinnieTheWay where are you from?

I was coming on to say 'The Pictures' too.

My DD looks at me like

@CeeceeBloomingdale ooh interesting, I'm from NE and lived in Newc for a bit but didn't think Geordies would say long ar at the end. I say it short. (I'm a Smoggy in South Yorks though, what do I know?!)

Cinema, but usually the pictures.

Definitely sinn-em-ah, but I’m from dain saith (all right, the south west).

The one that really grates on me is ‘drawer-ing’ instead of ‘drawing’ - or conversely, saying a ‘draw’ instead of ‘drawer’ as in ‘chest of draws’ what?!

Sin-a-mar

I'm welsh but have lived in the Midlands for many years now.

The pictures!

Cinema with emphasis on first syllable. I'm Scottish so definitely wouldn't pronounce it cinemar

My bugbear is when tv presenters (mostly on Homes under the Hammer) say comm-YOU-nal instead of COMM-unal - but my pronunciation could be a Scots thing too.

@Rae34 Lancashire

I have a Northern background - so probably explains cinema.
