How do you pronounce torquoise?

[BiscuitLover3678]

I really can’t say it!

Turk worse.
gar a ge. Everyone else in the family says Garridge.

Sorry, Tur kwoys. Rhymes with noise..

Turk-wise and ga-rigde

Wait rose

Or Wai trose?

I suppose if you go there, you know. Like a Shibboleth

Same as @dementedpixie

tur-quois (like noise)

After 10 years in southern England, I still hate the ga-raj pronunciation. Sounds like the person's trying to pretend they are posh to me.
Yaw-gurt I hate too (I say yo-gurt).

Tur as in turnip
kwoise rhymes with noise

I say garridge as that's what I grew up with but occasionally get confused and gar-aaahge

Tur-kwoyz
Garr-idge
Cross-ont in the uk, I try for a more authentic French version when in Rome (so to speak 😂)

Tur-kwoise.
Gar-ridge

'ter- kwoys

'Ga- ridge

Tur kwoyze

Garridge - where you take the car to be fixed
Garrahj - where you put the car if you have a posh house.

When I was sixteen I went into a local shoe shop to buy some suede sandals. The pair on display inside was brown, but I'd seen the same ones in the window, in turquoise. So I asked for "Those in a size 7 please, but in terkwoys."
The assistant said snootily "Those, but in TOOR-kwaaz?"

I did buy them, but they were a mistake - they made a weird squelching noise with every step 😳

Tur qwoyce as in Joyce
