How do you pronounce...

[Redway]

look? do you say it as most people would ('luck') or make it sound more like a male name (Luke)?

[Niamh.]

Neither way :suspect:

[Ninastar]

I guess it's more like Luke

[hijaxers]

I really don't understand what this question is about luck is luck nothing else

[LukeB]

i voted wrong, it sounds like im saying my name

[Redway]

I really don't understand what this question is about luck is luck nothing else

What I meant was pronouncing look in a certain way sounds like the word 'luck' and some people pronounce it more like 'Luke'. Like book, that also has the exact same thing.

[Drew.]

I would pronounce Book like rhyming with either of those two either :suspect:

[BigSister]

I would say it like look

[Josy]

Yeah I'm confused now, I say it and it rhymes with book and also rhymes with 'Luke'

[MTVN]

Most people would say 'luck'? :S

I just pronounce it as 'look' like other people said

[Josy]

Not sure were luck comes into tbh never have I heard someone say 'Luck at this!'

Yeah that's what I was on about, I meant that 'look' sounds like 'luck' in a way (depending on accent and all of course). Not actually saying the word luck but to me they both sound pretty much the same, up north anyway

[Redway]

Well not actually saying the word luck but I meant to compare the word look to another word that sounds how most people would pronounce it.

[Josy]

Look
Book
Hook
Sook
Took
Cook

All sound the same

[mizzy25]

i say luck but im a Geordie I do however say book and food whereas some say fud up this way.

[Xtopher]

I guess it sounds like "luck"

[Redway]

Look
Book
Hook
Sook
Took
Cook

All sound the same

Still sounds like the word luck though as well. That was the first thing that came to mind :laugh:

[Josy]

Hmm I don't see how but fair enough :laugh:

[jessicadanielle]

I think in most (or maybe only some) Northern regional accents, "look" and "luck" use the same vowel sound (unless people do pronounce "look" like Luke, my mum does sometimes) whereas sown South they use different vowel sounds. I say "luck" and "look" exactly the same.

Same with "put" (as in to put something down) and "putt" (golfing term, dunno what it means :laugh:). I'd use the same vowel sound for those two but my Southern friends use different vowel sounds.

There's just as much difference between Luck and Luke as there is Luck and look

You crazy northerners

[Sophiee]

neither to be exact, probably more like 'luck' though.

[Jessica.]

Neither :umm2:

[AnnieK]

I get where Redway is coming from.....

I argue with my dad over how to pronounce those words.....I pronounce look as you would say luck but my dad says it as you would say Luke.....

It's hard to explain without actually hearing the different ways but :shrug:

[Jords]

Mainly 'luck' but sometimes Ill say it as 'luke' (e.g. "Lets have a luke")
