Too-nuh. Why would someone say it like it starts with the letter C? I've never heard anyone who couldn't pronounce it correctly. LOL
Probably people used to pronouncing "T" as c/ch which ain't too uncommon in some languages...
I think it's more T coupled with a U. Like, most Brits pronounce most T's as T (like for example, tea!), but if it's TU then it's sometimes pronounced choo. Like, I say tumour as 'choo-mor' and tuberculosis as 'choo-berculosis' (sorry, can only think of medical words right now)
Compreende..
Makes sense as well I guess, I'm more of the "tyouu-mor" rather then the "ch" sounds in that case if I would speak out loud those words.
like tee-you-mor (although the tee-you like one word and not pronounced as 'slow') A bit hard to explain lol.

I always pronounce it like "too-nuh", and I've never heard anyone pronounce it like "choo-nuh" before, but I guess I could see how people who are fluent in more than english would have an accent that changes the phonetic value. Kinda like how people who are fluent in spanish and are learning english usually pronounce english "b" and "v" the same.
