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

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

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

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

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.
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:

Maia 20-03-2012 08:06 PM
A

B just sounds rather silly to me

Seems likely to me that the Swedes have got it wrong

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. 20-03-2012 09:14 PM
A sounds like Trawl

B ftw

Marc 20-03-2012 09:18 PM
Glad to see A is winning, and rightly so.

Kizzy 20-03-2012 09:22 PM
