How do you pronounce Antioch - please......

[toccatanfudge]

DS1 is doing a reading at church tomorrow - I've had a mental block, and he's not convinced about the way I've told him to say it.

He's been asking me for 3 days now "mum how do you pronounce Antioch".........

thanks

Auntie and the och, to rhyme with loch

Agree with Mme

Might be a regional difference in the pronounciation of 'auntie' - I'd say 'Antioch' with a hard 'a' - so anti-ock.

thanks - thought that's how it was - can now tell DS1 and he can stop bugging me

Ann tee okk

I pronounce aunt 'aaarnt'.

Antioch is ann tee okk.
