How do you say Caribbean?
 

Poll incoming

Carry-Bee-Hun

Never heard anyone say the top one

Its the posh way babe

that's probably why then :laugh:

I also think its the actually correct way

The top one is said like this (naff video):



Whereas the bottom is like "Carried Ian"? Amiright? haha

Clicked the wrong one. :spin:

The chava way

Clicked the wrong one :blush:

The Americans say aluminium wrong too so I don't trust this man.

^ I actually said that to a tutor at uni and he (big English language buff) said it's actually US who say it wrong and the "AL-YOO-MIN-EE-UM" is correct?

That's not what they say though.

Americans say "alooominum". They miss out the second "i" altogether.

Oh yeah that's what I mean! Sorry haha got confused!

He said "aloominum" is correct, apparently.

Well that makes no sense whatsoever. :think:

Did he explain why the random "i" is silent? :suspect:

I think it's because the way we say it would sound daft in an American accent. :laugh:

He did, but I cannot for the life of me remember what he said. Didn't convince me though, just makes no sense.

Will you bloody stop questioning everything tonight :fist:

Why are you here? :suspect:

Who made you?

What position were they in when they made you? :think:

The bottom choice is pronounced like the "care-ih-bee-an" right?

I say Ca-rib-ian

Actually no... I voted wrong :joker: I think the way I say it is supposed to be the second poll option lol.

Car-ib-BEE-an

The correct way

I pronounce it the way he does at 00:39

The other way is the one sounds posh to me

Irma's toilet.

Oh yeah I was gonna watch that video and forgot. I say it the way that guy said it at 0:20.

I'm still not even too sure which is which in the poll though. :joker: I think I voted wrong?
