minus-squareolosta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 months agoFrench pronounce the “ou” as is “tour”. But you do you.
minus-squareBarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-24 months agoTour as in tu- er or tore? I’ve heard it pronounced both ways here in the states
minus-squaresensiblepuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoWhoa what? I’ve never heard anyone pronounce tour as tu-er. At that point you might as well slap an umlaut on that bad boy
minus-squaresparkle@lemm.eelinkfedilinkCymraegarrow-up5·edit-24 months agoIn most American dialects and some British dialects, “bore” and “tour” rhyme (called the “pour-poor merger”). But in some dialects it may rhyme with “sewer”/“two-er” or have the same sound as in “blue” or even as in “were”.
