In my pronounciation of 'proven'

[CollyWombles]

Help settle a discussion between DH and I please!

I pronounce it as 'Pro-ven'
DH says its 'Proo-ven'

I am Scottish, he is South African, whether that makes a difference!

I'm Scottish and say pro-ven and me and English DH had an argument years ago about this! He says proo-ven. I had to give up my stance when he argued we say proo-f and not pro-f.

I feel I might reignite this argument this evening.

I'm a bit of a prat and like to say things like 'it's been scientifically proven that orgasms unblock a blocked nose' (random example!) and other such useless information.

I say Pro-ven I'm from near Glasgow DH is from Aberdeen and he says proo-ven.

Pro-ven . South east but Scots parents.

I’m Scottish.

Pro-ven.

Like the verdict “not proven”

Proo- ven (London)

I'm in NE Scotland and I say Pro-ven

I’ve never heard anyone say pro-ven. I’m finding it hard to even imagine.

Normally proo-ven but if I'm talking about the Scottish verdict of 'not proven' then I would say pro-ven.

Proo-ven here too (Australian)

Proo-ven born in London raised in Essex

Scottish. Pro-Ven

I'm Scottish and say pro-ven

I would say proo-ven unless I was saying 'not proven' as in the Scottish legal verdict, when I would say 'not pro-ven'!

Scottish. Pro-ven.

Proo-ven. Root word proo-ve. Unless you say pro-ve?

Pro-ven. But obviously, proo-ved. Scottish.

Proo - ven. I'm Scottish.

Proo-ven. Also Scottish...

Pro ven like the legal verdict in Scotland. I’m not Scottish but I’ve still always pronounced it that way. It sounds correct and it’s how DH (a lawyer) pronounces it too.

I'm Scottish. I'd say "Not pro-ven" if it was in the legal sense. But I think I'd otherwise say proo-ven, like in the bread example.

Maybe.

I'll not be able to say it without doubting myself now.

pro/ ven ... scottish too

I say proo-ven (north-west)

I don’t think I’ve ever heard pro-ven

Proo-ven, Irish
