How Do You Pronounce Zebra?
 

Hmm?

Zee-bra

Zeb-bra

Zeh-Bra

that is indeed the correct way

Zee-Bra

ZEBRA IN Britain


ZEEBRA in America...:hugesmile:

Excuse me, I'm not American :nono:

Who else thinks Zee looks like a Zebra

Zee Bra

zebra its only got one e not two

zee bra sounds as if your saying thee bra lol

Ze-bra

Tedious has only one e!

Zeb-ra

I'd imagine it's down to the way you pronounce the letter "Z" rather than how many e's are in the word

That doesn't make a lot of sense, Z in English is pronounced ZED and in America ZEE but it only has one sound in English, now in German, that's a whole different ballgame!

Well, If you pronounce it Zed, I think you'd pronounce the word like Ze-Bra where as if you pronounce it as Zee then you'd pronouce it as Zee-bra. I pronounce it as Zee btw and I'm not American

The initial "Z" has the same sound in both, it is the second letter that sounds different!

I wonder though if the people who voted for Zee-bra call the "Z" Zee or Zed? I think my theory is right :hmph:

I use Zed in Britain but Zee when in North America and Tset in Germany!

So that's where that went

Ze-bra, but I've said zee-bra a few times. It must be all the US TV I watch.

I also started saying "literally" a lot so knew I had to stop. :laugh:

Estonia is literally littoral to the Baltic Sea.

I just realized that i say ze-bra when I'm saying Ze-bra crossing but Zee-bra for the animal hhhmmm now I'm confusing myself

You don't get out much, do you?? lol!

Omg!! So do I! :conf:

Aye, well you must be posh then:hugesmile:

ze-bra.
once when I was at school I recall a teacher saying zee-bra and I thought it was a completely different word :blush:.

Posh people say Zee-bra :suspect: I'm Irish actually :hmph:

We'd never have known!

Location: Ireland-The peoples Republic of Cork

You're being very feisty today Mr. :nono:

I might just have spilled my medication!

Everytime I read your posts I use Mr. Burns voice in my head lol

I do sometimes have that effect!

..zeeebra and zebra crossing...

zeb rah

You sure you are not American because you also spelt 'realised' the American way.

That's my spell checker, it always does the American spellings :suspect: It's always trying to get me to spell colour and favourite wrong as well :bawling:

Quite a lot of sites use the built-in American spell checker.
