Does shone rhyme with dawn or zone?

[youdialwetile]

DD has been told she's saying it wrong - may be both as used in different places?

@phoenixrosehere

'Gwan' is Go on.

There is a W sound between Go and On, Go and Up, Go and In if you say those phrases without a glottal stop between Go and the next word.

Make the W sound with your lips.
Now say Go On, Go Up, and Go In with no glottal stop.

In my corner of southern England, won/one/gone/shone all rythme.

Do you mean one/won rhyme, and gone/shone rhyme, or they all rhyme with each other?

All of them rhyme with each other

So are they wun, wun, gun and shun?

Or wan wan, gon, and shon?

@mathanxiety

Ah. Feel like I’m saying Guam but without the m. Interesting.

Nooo, done rhymes with sun (but not one, which rhymes with none)

Wtf? So what do 'one' and 'none' rhyme with? On? Or something else?

One Gone On Don Ron
Done Sun Bun Fun Run (and Son too).

@phoenixrosehere, the A sound in Gwan is shorter than the A in Guam.

One Gone On Don Ron
Done Sun Bun Fun Run (and Son too).

No way!
Gone On Don Ron
One Done Sun Bun Fun Run (and Son too).

LizBennet one goes on the 2nd line in my accent

Also now thinking about it gone is slightly different for me, it is almost gawn or gorn but not very much pronounced on the aw/or. I can't explain it but not as hard sounding as Don or Ron.

I rhyme one and gone and won and scone.

Northerner living down south. Never had too many issues being understood but maybe I'm leaving baffled people in my wake

I love that there are so many variations. In my local accent (right in the city, not how the majority speak) down and town are pronounced dayn and tayn

I think I'm going to start sticking my index finger up in the air when I say 'one' in future after this thread 🤣

No way!
Gone On Don Ron
One Done Sun Bun Fun Run (and Son too).

Yep.

I say one to rhyme with gone.

I think, as a Northerner, the 'u' sound is very pronounced. So to say one as 'wun' sounds strange to us. I remember thinking about how my friend from Essex pronounced things at university - she said the word 'bus' a little bit like 'bos' - not quite but a softer 'u' almost like an 'o'. I think this is where the one pronunciation is sounding different in different regions.

I always think that name pronunciations sound strange when people write things like 'A-mee-li-uh' for Amelia because 'uh' is not a pleasant sound in my accent .

Neither!

For me it rhymes with gone as others have said. If it rhymed with zone it would be shown, and to rhyme with dawn it would shawn

For me one rhymes with gun

@Thethingswedoforlove

Neither/ it rhymes with gone

This

Neither

Shone rhymes with gone

In the US shone and dawn would rhyme, also maybe one and gone depending on the accent.

I don't think so. In the US 'shone' often rhymes with 'bone'. Whereas 'Sean/Shaun' rhymes with 'dawn'

@crazyjinglist
In this link, the Canadians and some of the Americans pronounce shone to sound like Shaun/dawn - at least they do to my ear. Another American says it to rhyme with cone.

As in "the sun shone on our wedding day"?

Never heard it pronounced as anything other than rhyming with "zone" but maybe I'm just imagining that.

Clearly, it rhymes with scone.

Oh lomo - mischievous !

Extended family comprises Scottish, Yorkshire, North West, London. All as above. The only one I hear said differently is scone, which some people pronounce to rhyme with bone.

A huge variety of pronunciation across the UK, which could be argued about forever.
