How do you pronounce Abakhan?

[EarlofShrewsbury]

As in the fabric place.

I just called it abba-carn
But now I'm in an argument with my colleague who says is abba-can.

How do you pronounce it?

Nine in total, I think. I’ve been going to the Mostyn one with my mum for over 30 years - it’s one of my favourite things to do when visiting

Abba can according to my aunt who works there :) that's how the family pronounce it

I also thought Askaban at first!

Never heard of it. Initially thought it was a baby name! 😬

In my head, I thought Abba-Carn.

If its a shop- how do THEY pronounce it?

Toblerone

Abba-can. A friend used to work there.

I’ve been to the Birkenhead one with my mum a few times who was from up the road in New Ferry, she always said it ABBA-caan with slight emphasis on a longer aaa sound in the caan bit!

I love the one in Hanley ☺️

The kh sound is not c/k - more of a throat clearing sound. If you know the Harry Enfield character Stavros and "Khello, matey peeps!" thing.

With a strong scouse accent.

I grew up thinking that it was a "type" of shop like you get meat from the butcher, veggies from the greengrocer, fabric from the abakahn.

It’s Aba Can. Anyone saying it differently is wrong.

How lovely to see someone using an adverb. I mean that quite sincerely, folks.

Definitely with the ‘can’ side at the end. I used to know Mrs A:)

Surely to be abba-carn it would need an r in the name

Bit rude 😂

Did she get a discount?
