How to pronounce…

[JesstheMess42]

LightheartedMy friend and I disagree on how you pronounce the word advertisement. One of us says “add-vert-iSS-ment” and the other says “add-ver-tiZe-ment”. We’re both English if this is relevant 😊

I'll never say this word.

This for us.

AdVERTissment.....Northumberland/Borders

I think the IZE is American.

Most people probably say advert.

Ad. Advert. Ad-VERT-is-munt.

AdVERTissment

Wow this thread has shocked me! I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone in the UK say ad-vert-is-ment, only ever heard Americans say it that way. I’d say advert-eyes-ment. I now need to ask everyone I encounter over the coming days how they say this!

Ad-ver-tiss-ment. The strongest sounding syllable is the 'ver'.

Grew up in west London.

Definitely emphasis on the second syllable.

Saying advertIZement is all kinds of wrong. SE

This is the way

I’ve heard adverTIZEment up north but adVERT-is-ment down south. I think both are acceptable pronunciations.

So sorry!
yabu- add-vert-iZ-ment

yanbu- add-vert-iSS-ment “

Both are wrong.

AddVERTissment

We both grew up in north west England.

Advert-iss-ment.

This for me too

Same!

north of England

add-ver-tiZe-ment.. I'm Irish.

Ad-ver-tiz-ment

I don't even know any more!!! I think I use both!

@Notimeforaname my Irish friends and family say it the same as you

Ad vert is ment

It’s regional.

Queen’s English, or RP, is addVERTissment.

ADDverteyez

in USA is ADDverteyezment

Ad-ver-tize-ment
