How do you pronounce Merengue?

[trenchdragon]

Merengue is originally a Spanish word pronounced 'murr-an-gay' but in English it sounds like 'murr-ang'. It can go either way though. I pronounce it like 'murr-ang'.

How do you say her name?

Murr-ang

I've been wondering this for ages aswell! xD

I don't even know why but I pronounce it "mur-eng" even though I'd say it would most likely be "mur-ang", as that's how you pronounce the name of the white fluffy biscuit things.

I've always pronounced it the Spanish way and I didn't even know people pronounced it "merr-ang" until like 2 years ago.

Mer-ang. I feel like it was supposed to be Meringue, like lemon meringue pie, and they accidentally used the wrong one. Anyway, she responds to that pronunciation with the megaphone.

I pronounce her name the english way, because that's the only way I've heard it before. :0 I didn't know it came from spanish.

Meh-ren-goo, I just realised how weird that is

 

[trenchdragon]

Yeah it's like lemon murr-ang pie. Growing up that was what my family called it so I guess it stuck.

 

[Regina Cordium]

I...didn't know people pronounced it like 'merr-ang' o_o I've always pronounced it 'Merr-ehn-gay'

 

[Yuki Nagato]

Merr-ang.. I've never heard anyone say it any differently in the UK.

 

[Umbvix]

I always figured murr-ang because that's how we say the dessert. Murr-an-gay is for a dance, not a dessert.

I second this.. It's how I say it.

 

[Hot]

I just say "Mer-eng-eue". Tried saying it the Spanish way, but it just doesn't feel comfortable for me.

 

[Rion45]

I say it the spanish way. Merr-ang sounds incomplete to me....but I never heard of the dessert or even ate it xD So that may be why.

 

[Glaceon2000]

I say Merr-ang. I didn't even know there was another way to say it.
