How do you pronounce Primark?

[Buttybach]

This weekend it occurred to me that I say primark in a weird way!

Do you say it Primark (i as in eye)
Or Primark (i as in eee)

Pry marni

Pree-mark, West Scotland. No one says Pry-mark here.

Pry-mark

Also for the PP who asked

I(eye)ke(key)a
Ni(eye)sa (the ads say its a nicer way to shop)

It's not regional variance. Prymark is wrong. I don't care what they say now. We have proof.

Surely the proof is their own website that states Prymark is correct

My Scottish family say Preemark. I say Preyemark. We both maintained we were correct. I asked them how they pronounce Primary School...

I’m right. They’re wrong. 😂🤣

Primarni

They said themselves once that it is Pry (as in sty, lie, die) mark

Preee Mark. From South Wales. Just moves to bristol everyone says Pri Mark

I’m a Londoner living in Wales, I say Pry-Mark, DP says Pre-mark, and dd (15) calls it Prim-ark to wind us both up.

They said themselves once that it is Pry (as in sty, lie, die) mark

And they also used to call it Pree-mark themselves. So it might be Pry-mark now but it wasn't always.

It’s probably a depends where your from type of thing. I know people from near me that say a different pronunciation of ‘oo’ words (cook/cookies/book/pool) , they replace the oo’s with a ‘uw’ or ‘ew’. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I say pri (eye) mark.

Preye-mar-nee

I think Preemark is Scottish thing (Scot living in London here) but I’m all English now and say Pri(eye)mark.

I do however say the same Scottish oo sound for everything - apparently there is a long oo and short oo sound. Most confusing!!!

I had a Saturday job in Pri/remark 30 +yrs ago. Back then it was deffo pronounced Preemark as I remember the Xmas jingle that was played in store usingbthe Preemark version if the name. It was a lovely little ditty which was the worst ear worm ever - probably why I still remember it years later! It went:-
Preemark got a whole lot of shirts for you guy
And a whole lot of socks and ties
Fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la
Socks and ties and nice surprises
Preemark.......

As you can see, it drove us mad!!

PrEYEmark

Same as the ‘pri’ in ‘Primary’.

By the way I'm in the SW

I spent a couple of years in NI in the 80s as a child and it was definitely Preemark on the TV ads. Was very confused they started opening over here and changed to Pri'eye'mark. I have finally caved and no longer call it Preemark.

Preemark. But I'm Welsh, living in England and old habits die hard

In NI it's generally pronounced pree-mark but I think that Primark sold a t-shirt that had "Pri (as in eye) mark" written on it.

Primark, the "i" making an "eye" sound.

As rarely as possible.

Pry-mark. Like Prime. Birmingham here.

Pree-mark sounds like you're trying to pronounce it as a foreign word, which is very Hyacinth Bucketey.

Pree mark here and in central belt of Scotland. Although I accept other people call it preyemark.

I’m in the North - Everyone here says Pr-eye-Mark or “Pr-eye-marni”, even the many Scots folk who live here. My East Coast Scots and ROI family say Pr-Eye-Mark too (or Penneys ). The only person I ever met who said Preemark was from NI and he hated the way we all said it.

Penny’s.
