Apricot

[Alyssa]

How do you pronounce apricot?

[TtownAnne]

For the food I use the long a pronunciation (aaaaaa-pricot) but for the color I say ah-pricot. Don't know why.

[Alyson]

ape-ri-cot :)

[LISA]

I use the long a pronunciation (aaaaaa-pricot)

This is how I pronounce the word for both colour and fruit :)

[Bridget]

ape-ri-cot

[Cami]

Ape.

Alyssa, you are full of important questions today, aren't you? :lol:

Not trying to hijack this thread, but did ya know that people in England pronounce "zebra" like zeb-ra, rather than zee-bra? At least that's what my husband said because people at worked laughed at him when he talked about the zoo.

[Nadine]

App-ricot.

And BTW - who loves apricots??
I LOVE them and can't wait for their season to start!!! Pity the season is soooo short.

[Michele]

App-ri-cot for me too...

[Bridget]

Don't ask where the aluminum foil is when you go to the grocery store either Cami. :lol:

[Nichole]

Ape-ricot most of the time. Sometimes an a-pricot slips in, though. :lol:

Aside: I love dried apricots, but don't really care for fresh ones. Weird texture and little flavor with the fresh. :lol:

[pam]

app-ri-cot

[Mandi]

Ape-ricot.

Same as Nichole.. like them dried. Not so much fresh.

[Cami]

Yeah, I know! Weird!

That's cause zeb-ra is the correct pronunciation :lol: We (and the British) say zed not zee so wouldn't start a word with a zee sound.

Ape-ricot.

I hate apricots :dead: I can eat a dried one if forced but fresh ones make me want to puke.

[Karri]

App..... and add me to the list of dried eaters, but fresh haters :dead:

[Karri]

Don't ask where the aluminum foil is when you go to the grocery store either Cami. :lol:

Why? What's it called?
I just listened to Shopaholic & Sister on tape and it was so neat listening to the different pronounciations of the same words.

[TtownAnne]

Alu-mini-um over there, Karri.

[Clare]

It's called aluminium foil, but we pronounce it al-ooo-min-ee-um.

[TtownAnne]

So then why don't you say zedra, if zed is the correct sound? :lol2:

That's cause zeb-ra is the correct pronunciation :lol: We (and the British) say zed not zee so wouldn't start a word with a zee sound.

[pam]

Or zedbra? :lol:
