How do you pronounce Dua Lipa?
Seriously, it's killing me.
Dua like Jew-ah and Lipa like leep-ah 😂
Jew-ah leep-ah? That's not what I was expecting at all!

Yeah that's how I pronounce it, there's no difference in my accent of dew-ah/jew-ah so not sure if that's how it's pronounced over where you are 🙈
It's Doo-a like Scooby Doo.
She's told me this herself.
Obviously Leep-a like a leap year 🏃
She also answers it here:
She also shows her feet, if you're one of
them guys.

😂😂 damn I've been pronouncing it wrong then. I swear everyone here says Jew-ah but we can't pronounce Karl either so there's that.
Wow, I get it now.

Do you say Carroll for Karl?

I assume you mean, you get why I'm obsessed with her? 8)

Yes. She is wonderful 👌

Yeah Jimmy's right, it's pronounced like the ladies name Carol 😂. There is not a single Scottish person that can say the male name Karl 🫣
Edit: I thought you were making a statement not asking a question sorry Jimmy. Yes like Carol, if I try an English accent and shout KAL I could probably get away with it

Yeah I was just asking but I could imagine it and was pretty sure that's how it'd sound. I think you are near Glasgow aren't you? I can imagine that heavy Glaswegian accent 8)
Yeah I'm not too far from Glasgow, I have a similar accent to the Still Game cast but I'm not an old man 😂

That's funny, hard for me to imagine how they could sound the same. At least it's not as bad as Andrew Lincoln where he's doing an American accent. "CORAL!"
Not quite the same but my granddad is from Belfast and would pronounce film like 'fillum'.
I am familiar with the Weegie accent so could guess what it would sound like.
Americans pronounce squirrel as squirl and mirror as meer?
Quote from: jimmy jazz on Feb 16, 2024, 04:05 PMAmericans pronounce squirrel as squirl and mirror as meer?
Depends where you are. I think "meer" is a midwestern thing, not sure about "squirl". I pronounce both words with two syllables.

Yeah there's lots of similarities, we say fillum as well 😂. Northern and southern Irish accents are far superior though 😆

Yeah, Midwesterner here and "meer" is common. Though one of my regular acquaintances says that too and he was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, so yeah I dunno.
Interesting, in Holland some people also do the extra syllable thing in a very similar way

The girl I know who says it is from Michigan.

Been meaning to show you this.
Thoughts?

Michigan is in the midwest, so that tracks.

That's funny.
This is how we think of the Dutch in Norway.
I give mirror two syllables but I am guilty of pronouncing squirrel with one. Crayon gets two as well, but not orange. Caramel gets two or three depending on the context.
My grandma would say "roof" like "rough" and "soot" like "sut." She also called lunch dinner and dinner supper.
I can confirm that those videos are an accurate reflection of the Dutch spirit
Quote from: degrassi.knoll on Feb 17, 2024, 03:12 AMShe also called lunch dinner and dinner supper.
My grandmother used to do the same thing. I figured it was because she came from a time of such poverty, that dinner was never guaranteed, so by calling lunch "dinner", it was a psychological defense mechanism. If supper actually happened, it was a time to count your blessings.

Actually, the correct American pronunciation is "meerOWnupmirrAAHH" :-
