Envelope or ONvelope? (How do you pronounce envelope?)

[jiny]

This is based on how you pronounce it! Do you pronounce it on-velope or en-velope?

I pronounce it envelope. It just sounds better to me.

 

[cornimer]

I say On-velope. Had to say it out loud a few times to figure it out though. XD

 

[Shimmer]

I say "en-velope."

 

[aericell]

I say it both ways I think? Pretty sure I say "en" more often though

On-velope sounds british to me

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

En-velope. Considering its root word, it makes sense to me.

 

[Kinoko]

Envelope! I think I've probably said it like on- before though

 

[Jake]

it really depends. it's the same as words likr advANced/advARnced, plANt/plARnt, dANce/dARnce etc... it really just depends on how i pronounce the word at the time.

 

[Alienfish]

I honestly don't know anyone here in the UK who says it like on-velope. x3 I always say it ENvelope and everyone else I know says it like that too. But maybe some posh people in the UK say it?

Either way it seems like it would make more sense that we'd say it ENvelope. But the English language really doesn't make any sense at times so I could be wrong.

Envelope. A lot of foreigners say on-velope tho (in my family).
