How do you pronounce these 2 words…ate and Jude?

[Tunacan6]

How do you pronounce these 2 words and where are you from? I’ve heard them on tv said a lot different to how I say them.

1. ate…I said ‘et’ as in let, met, bet etc
2. jude…like dude, food, mood

from the north of Ireland

Ate like the number 8

Jude to rhyme with dude.

Home counties.

Ate like the number 8
Jude to rhyme with dude

I’m from Essex. Ate is like Ayte, there’s not much difference between eight and ate for me

Jude the same as you, assuming we are pronouncing food, mood etc the same

And does dude rhyme with food?

ate like 8

Jude like dude, can't see how else this would be pronounced

Yes pretty much.

I think I’ve heard it more like jew-id rather than jood

Yes

ett and jood.

Ate like Hate but without the H.
Jude to rhyme with Dude or Food.

West Yorkshire

Jude, food, mood, dude all rhyme for me.
Ate rhymes with eight, mate, late, date.

Ate and ate are different to me depending on where they are in a sentence

Over here I know we say eight, mate, late very different to those in england

This.

Interesting…what way?

Are like eight
Jude like jui as in juice with the d on the end
(Scotland)

I’m in London. RP accent. I use a slightly different part of my mouth to say ‘ate’ and ‘eight’ they sound the same though!

Jude rhymes with dude.

Me too, I think, but I have no idea what rules I’m inadvertently following. It’s possible it’s random and I use both as I was brought up in Scotland but live in the south of England.

ate as in late, eight
Jude as in mood, food

also north of Ireland 👍

Scottish; Jude rhymes with rude and ate with eight.

Ate - aa - te, so a long ‘a’ and then a short ‘t’ sound

Jude - to rhyme with rude.

Dude I pronounce - D-ew - de

Jew-ud
Duw-ud
Foo-ud.

Ate I pronounce both 8 and et and jude I pronounce in the same way as mood....but with a j lol. From the west Midlands

Eight and ate are the same for me.
jude rhymes with food, dude, mood etc

north wales

I have never heard dude pronounced like that! Where are you from?

Jude rhymes with food (surely everyone as heard hey Jude, how else could it be pronounced? I think actually scottish might be a shorter u but I can't think how to spell the sound!)

Ate like eight
