How do you pronounce "Troll"

[Niamh.]

A - Rhymes with Roll
Or
B - Rhymes with Doll



A for me

[Shaun]

I'd probably say a troll under a bridge is A and an internet troll is B.

[Niamh.]

Interesting..........why would you change it though, it's the same word? :suspect:

[Black Dagger]

You're such a TROLE, Niamh :idc:

[Niamh.]

You're such a mole Lucas :idc:

[Jessica.]

A of course

[Samuel.]

What's the difference? :S

[Niamh.]

What's the difference? :S

A- Rhymes with Roll, Role, Mole, Coal

B - Rhymes with Doll and em......Sol or Lol (can't think of many others)

[Locke.]

A.

B seems like the posh way to say it

[Samuel.]

A- Rhymes with Roll, Role, Mole, Coal

B - Rhymes with Doll and em......Sol or Lol (can't think of many others)

All of those words rhyme to me :laugh:

I guess A? idk

[Z]

A, dunno why anyone would say it like B?!

[Niamh.]

All of those words rhyme to me :laugh:

I guess A? idk

Role and Doll don't rhyme :suspect:

hhhmmm ok, A would have a long O sound in it like Troooooll where as B has a short O sound like in the word Jolly (minus the Y :laugh: )

[Niamh.]

A, dunno why anyone would say it like B?!

I was watching a program about Internet Trolls last night and the guy presenting it (he's an English DJ but I can't remember his name) pronounced it like B

[arista]

A of course



be Jesus
you are right

[Samuel.]

Role and Doll don't rhyme :suspect:

hhhmmm ok, A would have a long O sound in it like Troooooll where as B has a short O sound like in the word Jolly (minus the Y :laugh: )

I can barely tell the difference between the two :sad:

[Ammi]

....B..troll

[Niamh.]

I can barely tell the difference between the two :sad:

lol, I would love to hear you speak :laugh:

[Jessica.]

be Jesus
you are right

:hugesmile:

[Niamh.]

....B..troll

Would you pronounce Trolling like that as well then? That sounds so strange, it sounds like Trolley

[Omah]

B

[mizzy25]

b for me

[Ammi]

Would you pronounce Trolling like that as well then? That sounds so strange, it sounds like Trolley

..Yes troll lol lolling

[Shaun]

yeah the whole trolololol thing kinda proves it's B...

[Livia]

A... rhymes with roll.

[Josy]

A

[InOne]

B

[Boothy]

A.

[Ammi]

..I've never really heard of trole lole lole lole lole before

[Jesus.]

It's B.

[Mrluvaluva]

B (http://audioboo.fm/boos/39460-how-to-pronounce-troll)

[Marc]

I pronounce it Salman

[CharlieO]

I say it the correct way; A.

[Niamh.]

Indeed you do Charlie

[Marc]

I say a

[CharlieO]

I pronounce it Salman

I say a

Someones gotta make their mind up. :whistle:

[Jesus.]

Someones gotta make their mind up. :whistle:

Maybe he's talking about Salman as an object, so he really means "a Salman."

[Marc]

A salmon* :laugh:

[Mrluvaluva]

I suppose it can be either (http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/dictionary/troll_2) but I suspect A leans more towards American pronunciation.

[Niamh.]

I'm not American :idc:

[Marc]

You're not?

[MTVN]

I'm surprised so many say B actually, I've always heard it pronounced A :suspect:

[Marc]

Yeah me too Matt, I mean considering the word has 'roll' in it, you'd think people would pronounce it.

[Niamh.]

You're not?

[Jesus.]

A salmon* :laugh:

I don't think you're in tuna with his feelings. I think youreally like him, one might even call it a-moray. Your sole intention in life should be to please him, have children together, and then I could be a codfather.

[Marc]

[Ammi]

....I think this is the answer you're looking for Niamh....close the thread now

[Niamh.]

Get out Ammi :bored:

[Mrluvaluva]

I'm not American :idc:

I'm not implying you are. It's like, for instance, how do you pronounce advertisement? add-ver-ties-ment or add-vert-is-ment? I think pronunciation will differ from person to person.

[Niamh.]

Ahhh I'm confused now, I don't know which of those I say :suspect:

[Niamh.]

The second one in hindsight

[Ammi]

Get out Ammi :bored:

What's their 3rd option on that Poll? (which rhymes with Troll :idc: )

[Josy]

Yeah I have only ever heard it pronounced A too :shrug:

[Kate!]

I've only ever heard it pronounced as the B option....Trole sounds like Toilet Roll.

[_Seth]

B, deffo.

[Jack_]

It's definitely B. The first one just makes you sound posh. Or American. Or both.

Trole? Like, seriously? It's even difficult to say it like that. It's troll (rhymes with doll), a simple, snappy little word.

[Bollo]

A

[Jesus.]

Right, It's actually a word derived from Norse mythology, and the closest pronunciation I can find is this Swedish one:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/Sv-ett_troll.ogg

Like Tron (the film) but with double "l" on the end instead of an "n".

[Niall]

Anyone who says it like B is just wrong. :nono:

Even when actual real-world evidence is one post above you, and smacking you in the face?

[Shaun]

he says, after facts for the contrary are shown

edit: oops, thought this would be the post after niall's

[Jesus.]

My maaaan.

[Princess]

This forum always makes me realise that people pronounce things funny. It's A.

[Ninastar]

I think its A

[Ninastar]

wtf i never voted on this and I didn't vote for B :suspect:

[Lee.]

A is how I say it..

I saw that programme too Niamh... when did Dick Bacon become that hot?? I didn't really notice him saying it different though..

[Shaun]

*is a little bit confused how anyone's still maintaining it's A*

[Josy]

The thread title is how do you pronounce Troll? so my answer is still A and i'm not going to change that just because someone on an internet forum posts a link saying otherwise.

[Locke.]

B =

http://images.wikia.com/lotr/images/8/88/Ctrol.jpg

And I doubt very much that Kizzy, Scott, Glenn and the gang look like that, so that proves it is A.

[Niamh.]

A is how I say it..

I saw that programme too Niamh... when did Dick Bacon become that hot?? I didn't really notice him saying it different though..

he was saying it like Option B, that's what inspired this thread

[MTVN]

The internet troll is the only time I've heard it used the B way, surely people dont say it that way talking about the guy under the bridge in the 3 Billy Goats Gruff :suspect:

[InOne]

I'm going on the basis that I'm never wrong....

So it's B.

[Lee.]

he was saying it like Option B, that's what inspired this thread
well he was saying it wrong :hmph:

[Niamh.]

well he was saying it wrong :hmph:

Yes he was :hugesmile:

[Niall]

I don't care. Saying it like the B version just sounds weird.

IMO, because it has the word 'roll' within it, should be enough evidence that it should be pronounced like A over B.

[MTVN]

What about trolley?

[Niamh.]

Majority Rules, it's option A and that's the end of it :idc:

[Niall]

What about trolley?

I have no explanation for that. :laugh:

But the troll thing is just cause of where I live I suppose. Everyone I know would say troll like A rather than like B, so maybe that's why it sounds so odd to me.

[Jesus.]

People don't want the right answer, they want their answers to be right.

[MTVN]

Yeah I agree and say it A as well anyway so not sure why I'm trying to prove you wrong :tongue:

[Niamh.]

That recording you posted sounded like Troll rhymes with Roll to me

Niamh, where in are you from?

I used to go out with a girl from Cork, and she said Ve-hee-cul for Vehicle. Always made me laugh.

lol, was she from West Cork? I'm from Cork City originally

[Roy Mars III]

It has been proved that the answer is B, so everyone who chose A must just change the way they say it in the future

[Niamh.]

How has it been proven?

[Niall]

This is something that is totally reliant on your upbringing and background, so therefore there is no correct pronunciation. :nono: Even though A is the right way to say it.

[Kizzy]

Grammatically it must be B as the present tense is pronounced trolling not 'trole'ing?

[Jesus.]

lol, was she from West Cork? I'm from Cork City originally

I'm not sure exactly. She said it was countryside. It was a relationship that burned bright and fizzled out quickly. We didn't spend a lot of time discussing each others backgrounds. She was really lovely though, and I could have listened to her voice forever.

[Roy Mars III]

Jesus proved it two pages ago

Right, It's actually a word derived from Norse mythology, and the closest pronunciation I can find is this Swedish one:

There are regional ways to say almost any word imaginable. Then there is the correct way.

[Niamh.]

Obviously people who pronounce it like A say Troleing - I know I do

Yeah, sounds like a more county cork accent, mine is more Roy Keane :joker:

Sounds like Option A to me, and why is this 100% right? :joker:

A

B just sounds rather silly to me

Seems likely to me that the Swedes have got it wrong

Americans can't even pronounce English words correctly. They've got **** all chance of pronouncing Norwegian.

[GypsyGoth]

But we're not norwegians, so why should we say it like they do.

How would you say Grand prix?

..........I'm not French so it should be "Grand pricks".

There are loads of examples of foreign words we use. You can say it however you want, but the correct way will be different.

Get back to your PLL ****e anyway!!:joker:

[Scarlett.]

A sounds like Trawl

B ftw

[Marc]

Glad to see A is winning, and rightly so.

[Kizzy]

Its the posh and the irish! down with that sorta thing....Mind how you go.....:D

I say A as afterall you pronounce Trolls in The Billy Goats Gruff as Trolles.

[fruit_cake]

I say them both like Doll

[ILoveTRW]

I use b for all types of trolls, i think most northerners do.

[InOne]

All you A's have been proved wrong by Jesus himself, time to just accept it :shrug:

[GypsyGoth]

Also here's a rhyming dictionary, you'll notice the absence of the word "doll" :D

No it doesn't, that a completely different word altogether :nono:

[lostalex]

Why are you asking trolls? obviously the TROLLS (rhymes with rolls) will TROLL this thread.

Just look at Jesus, he is the king of trolls. he was resurrected to lead the TROLL army.
