How to pronounce Talia

[GemLooper]

Would you say Tah-lee-uh or tar-lee-uh?

Ta (as in thanks) - Lee - ah.
I’d put the stress in the ta.

The one I know is Tar-lee-uh

Tall to rhyme with shall, for both Natalia and Talia.

I thought DH was just weird when he went on about "pooring" milk in the tea. "Poh-errrrr" "Yes, that's what I said, poor". "No, poh-err" "yes, poor".

my dad poors the milk too. He also shuts the door, washes the floor and calls his brothers hures, all to rhyme with poor.

Pour and poor are the same.

Baffled. Just baffled.

If you're saying it with an accent, you're not saying.it in the raw form if you see what I mean. Take Trevor McDonald. What accent does he have? Or Susanna Reid. I see them as no accent.

Just reading this has finished me.

I mean it's quite obvious that everyone has an accent, whether you decide to "see" it as an accent or not.

Extremely common name here, at least 2 or 3 in a class and it’s always Ta-Lee-a

“If you’re saying it with an accent”

Everyone has an accent!

Raw form. 😂

Ah would you go away outta that Everyone here is saying these words in their own accent, there is no raw or correct form to default to.

Tah Lee uh, where the ‘tah’ rhymes with ‘lah’ the exact way Julie Andrews pronounces it in ‘la, a note to follow soh’ in The Sound of Music.

(Which is also the same as tar in my non-rhotic accent, and rhymes with baa, car, far, and the first syllables of Bali and barley.)

‘Tal to rhyme with shall’ - that rogue extra (?) l floored me too. But you know what this post by bubble was the break through where I understood the op ! So it could be ta (as in (tacky)! Have never heard it pronounced that way.

Tal to rhyme with shall, tall to rhyme with small...

So we could differentiate them as tal-ee-ah and tall-ee-ah? I can hear the difference in those immediately whereas some of the earlier, apparently obvious examples baffle me

God, these threads always suck me in.

Tal- what you dry your hands on

For the people confused at Barley and Bali -

Barley should be (or so I though!!) pronounced like Barn - or Barney. So you still say the "r", just softly. You don't say Baa - n or Baaa - ni.

So Tar-lee-ahh sounds odd AF

It’s my name.

It’s Tally-ah.

Take Trevor McDonald. What accent does he have? Or Susanna Reid. I see them as no accent.

Oh come on. If Trev or Suse went to Louisiana or to Sydney do you think the locals might perceive them as having an accent?

It's such a strange thing where some people from the SE England think it's only everyone else who has an accent.

You don't say Baa - n or Baaa - ni.

I do!

Am I the only one sitting here saying "Bali" and "Barley" to myself, and still unable to hear any difference?

I know someone who pronounces her name as "Tar-lee-ya" with an emphasis on the first syllable. Her name is spelled Thalia though.

I’m still cackling at “raw form” as if SE England is where the words originated from

Def Tar Lee Uh. Know a few. But it goes whichever way the name bearer prefers it.

robbie 😂 yes but it is better spelled (spelt!?) Taow sometimes.

Ta Lee ha for my friend from school
