How Do You Pronounce 6th?

[OpalGoose]

Just that question. I hear it pronounced "sicth" by the majority of tv presenters but I always say "sicsth".

Can I add cuttle-ry to this? Does my head in.

Wed ens day
Li-bruh-ry
But admit to sickth
And fith.
And sand-widge

I'm not sure I'll be able to say these last 3 again without flinching though.

The right way 😀

Our head of sixth form pronounces it sick form it drives me mad. It's six-th.

Sang-widge is v common in Scotland.

I pronounce it sicks with final s like the s in snake

Guilty!

saying a f before a th seems so unnatural to me.

What, why?

That's just literally not the word.

Depends on accent and dialect I suppose. I say fith but say sicth

And in patches of south Wales, it’s how my dad says it.

Just dialects at the end of the day and I quite like regional variations.

Where I'm from it's pronounced sang-which

This has caused me a small crisis as i think I say six-th but with a harder (aspirated?) t - so sicks-t-th rather than a soft th. So I guess like eigh -t-th.

i am a weirdo

Sixth is a difficult one - a similar but more obvious letter adding pronunciation that’s currently commonly heard this when some BBC continuity announcers milk every extra s and z they can get out of ‘BBC Sounds’

Oh this has really made me think.
How do we pronounce Wednesday ???
I think I might be committing a "wensday" type crime here 😳

The word is six. Where is the th?

Sixth - always pronounce the x then the th. I'm Scottish if that makes a difference?

Well it’s not Wed-nes-day, that’s a bit like that mythical place Wem-ber-ley or people who pronounce player play-ya

For those pronouncing it sixth how do you pronounce 6th then?

Wed ens day.

This thread is about the pronunciation of 6th not the pronunciation of 6. I think you’ve misread something somewhere.

Oh yes my comprehension skills are poor today. In that case sick th

Sixth as per OP.

Also library, not liebree.

OH MY GOD, this is such a bete noire for me. Very very few people pronounce this correctly these days. I have no idea why. If you can say six you say six-th. Rage... lazy... mutters... 😬

The outright worst thing at the moment is this relatively new southern accent variant where w pops up everywhere. Example - a mewll dewll

Exactly like this
