How else can you pronounce egg?

[-] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 months ago

My Midwestern ex wife pronounced it "aig"

A long "a" sound. I'm a Southerner so for me it's egg. With a eh sound.

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Ohh yeah, I have heard "aig" before. I didn't even think of that as a different pronounciation, just an accent.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 8 points 4 months ago

I mean... That's the same thing

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 6 points 4 months ago

Of course. But my mind categorizes them separately... As in, in two speakers with the same accent can have two different "pronounciations" of a word. And likewise, one "pronounciation" can sound differently coming from two different accents.

The 'G's are pronounced like the G in GIF

A total egglord.

No. The second G is silent. What's wrong with you?

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

In New Zealand, it’s pronounced “ig”

[-] el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

You know you're pronouncing egg wrong when you have to spell it some other way.

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

You mean like 'edinbara' or 'middlesbra'? Or asthma where the 'th' might as well not even be there? Queue? Is it weird or is it wierd? Worstersher sauce? English is full of those, c'mon :p everything is pronounced wrong.

You could say "eygg" or "uurggs". So many options.

[-] shikitohno@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Everyone I've come across from NZ says it like igg, so there's that one, too. Aussies have a weird vowel to it that I hear at times, too.
