Do you say Wensdy Thursdy Fridy, or Wensday Thursday Friday, and where are you from?

DP and I have just realised that he pronounces the end of day names with a fully-realised "-day", while I use a shorter "-dy" sound, and I can't work out whether it's a regional thing (I'm northern English, he's southern English), one of those obscure English poshness indicators, or I'm just lazier

Snap!

East Lothian

Why wouldn’t you pronounce Wednesday properly?

it’s not like people are sticking in a random letter - as in folk who say “drawring” instead of “drawing” - they are sounding out the letters in the word.

Another “wedensday” Scot here - I’m highlands.

I also always pronounce Saturday with a hard T.

I pronounce the whole word. Mon-day, tues-day, wedens-day etc. East Scotland.

Same here including the full pronunciation of Wednesday

Midlands - I say a clear day.

I'm sure you didn't mean this to be rude, but given almost every poster who has said that they say 3 syllables has clarified they are Scottish, do you think they are all wrong or perhaps you just aren't very familiar with Scottish accents? Like all the other posters who have identified as being from Edinburgh/East Lothian/Other east coast areas of Scotland, I too most definitely say it with three syllables!

I teach in England and always think the Scottish accent is very useful for spelling things correctly. Much more closely related to what is written. I thought this again when reading out the spellings for the Y6 SATS on Tuesday!

I pronounce the day. But say Wensday

It's more of a Wensdee for me. I'm in the NW.

I clearly say Day, NE

The later and I'm from north Wales

It reminds me of the time the late Brian Sewell recalled complimented someone on their pronunciation of the word “geography”
for anyone unfamiliar, Brian spoke very correctly and enunciated beautifully, so he said “gee-og-ra-fee”

the person was a little puzzled and asked “How do I say it?”

”Correctly,” Brian responded, sounding out every single letter, as was his want.

I think he’d approve of the Scottish pronunciation of Wednesday

It's Nene 😂

I didn't realise until this thread that was how it was pronounced in Scotland. In England the usual pronunciation is Wenz/day.

Wensdy here, Cumbrian

Wed-ens-day
Thurs-day
Fri-day

central belt, from Aberdeen with one dundonian parent and one from thurso.

It isn't though. I have never heard anyone say wed nes day. We say wed ens day. Yes to the D but no to the NES

Wed/ens/day and Thursday etc. as per your second example. I'd never say Wensday though.

Irish originally but live in North East England.

That's how I would say it

SE born and bred, country brought up so bumpkin! Definitely say day but say strawbry and Canterbry, no u in there!

Same in Northern Ireland. Tuesdee, Wedensday, thursdy, Friday

Ah, but do you say libry like me?

I do!

Brian is beaming down from heaven at you!
