How do you pronounce "Tournament"?
 
It's that time of year. Listening to the radio this morning, and the host was pronouncing it one way while the guest talking head was pronouncing it completely opposite.

How do you say it?

TORN-a-ment?

TURN-a-ment?

Turn.

I'm not from the east coast, so TURN-a-ment.

The only people who say "Tore-nament" are Daniel LaRusso and his mom from Karate Kid.

I have friends from both regions that pronounce it the opposite of what you indicate. That's why I ask...

torn-a-ment makes someone sound like they have a speech impediment

Fansy the Famous Bard 03-18-2013 08:34 AM

Well most call it NCAA Tore-nament.

Kentucky fans call it NIT Tore-nament.

Fansy the Famous Bard 03-18-2013 08:36 AM

oh, and as my friend in NY always says: Toy-Nament. The R is silent.

Buck 03-18-2013 08:38 AM
