Words that are hard to pronounce

I dunno. I can't read Cyrillic myself. I do notice that a lot of the letters used don't seem to convey the sounds that we in the English speaking world are used to hearing, associated with those letters.

For instance, the City spelled "Lodz", in central Poland, is pronounced like "Wouldch".

 

The word "similarly", I always say something like simi-larly and so instead I just say similar and then just add the ly.

 

Also almost any French word used in English, they are just not pronounced the way they are spelled. Like the word bourgeois, every time I see it, I have to stop and mentally say this a french word and is pronounced ˈbu̇rzh-ˌwä and not say something like ˈbȯr-jəs, which is the way it's spelled. :ack2:

 

Indubitably.

I always say indudibaly or indubibaly or some other weird variation. I swear its the hardest word in the english language.

haha I do the exact same thing. I really have no idea how its supposed to be pronounced. I just choose not to use it at all, ever, to avoid embarrassment lol.

 

Worcestershire......

 

i cant say massachusets

Necessarily.

I ALWAYS end up saying "Nesser-celery".

 

lol I love the tongue twisters like "irish wristwatch" i mess that one up every time

 

"I was wrestling an Irish wristwatch from the wreck when a witness wrongfully warned me to watch my ways willingly, lest I waver from the war on warrantless whimsy."

 

He sucks ass at Mario Party, though, and is great to use as the computer character.


Also, absquatulate.

 

Waluigi is the magnum opus of Nintendo characters. I'd elaborate, but I don't want to use words you people can't enunciate.

"I'm sorry" is also a phrase people seem to find difficult to say.

 

Prescient :sultan:

whenever I'm reading someone's cards, I always have a hard time with hierophant.

 

Edited is a hard word to say, too. I usually add way more syllables than there should be.

 

Om NI see unce
WA loo ee gee/ wal wee gee

Pharyngula takes a bit of getting used to. Onyx and Ekphrasis trip me up too. Oh, and schadenfreude.

lithium says "probably" as "probberly" and I say the word "tired" as "tayyad"

 

Narration

Not because it's hard to pronounce in and of itself, but because I learned at a later age the correct pronunciation isn't "nair-a-rA-shun' and always forget. It's embarrassing.
