How do you pronounce..

[letsgoooo]

July
Jew-lie
Juh-lie

It matters not
Everyone knows it's the 7th month 😅

Juh-ly. It’s all about do you make more of an “uh” sound or more of an “oo” sound with the first syllable. I’m northern and do more of an “uh”. Though it’s really more J’ly.

Juh-lie.
But the problem with pronunciation threads is that people have completely different ideas of how to write down sounds phonetically!

Joo-lie

You pronounce the month July the same as the name Julie?

Juh to me is like the Ju in Jut.

Jool-eye?

I think I say both depending on what I'm saying.

Eg I might be rhyming off the months and say juh lie

Then I might say oh its on 15th of jew lie

@SemperIdem the lie part is to rhyme with eye

So jool eye

Juh - lie ( and I’ve to say it a few times to check)

I'm glad I'm alone, I must look like an idiot trying all these different ways to say July

@SemperIdem

No, that would be Joo-lee.
Lie as in on a bed.

@AllProperTeaIsTheft makes a fair point.

Lol how about other months.

Maaaay.
May.

Joo lie, Scottish. Although also maniacally muttering the months of the year to myself to check.......

I think I say both. 🤔

Like the word “often”. Sometimes I say “off-tun” and sometimes “offen”.

I imagine it depends where you come from. Iit's pronounced as Tewsday but am increasingly hearing it pronounced, mainly on radio, as Chewsday. Same as tooth or tuth.

@SemperIdem

You pronounce the month July the same as the name Julie?
No. Because the 'lie' in Julie isn't pronounced 'lie' as in a fib. Julie is pronounced Jewleeeee

Same here

Depends where it is in the sentence.

I'm a Northerner and I pronounce it Juh-lie, I don't know anyone who pronounces it Jew-lie. Maybe we should switch places to prove the theory correct 😁

Juh-lie

I think that’s what they meant - they can’t be the same. It’s weird that anyone could pronounce the month of July the same as the name Julie.

Like this...

Like this...

Or this

Wasn't aware there was any other way to say a fairly common name!

Both, depends on the words surrounding it.

Huh.

I say J'lie, but in my head the vowel sound I skip over is an oo rather than an uh. Even though I don't say oo at all.

No this doesn't make any sense.

Juh-lie
