Ohh yep that's what I mean xD

 

[Alienfish]

Haha I never heard too/toh-na one actually so it's interesting to see how many people actually use that XD

 

[Nightmares]

Well actually to be honest, it's kinda more "chew-na" than "tew-na"

so wait do americans pronounce 'tune' as 'toon', not 'chewn'? thats so weird!

"Tune" and "toon" sound the same. Not weird at all. What country are you from, if you don't mind my asking?

I pronounce tune and tuna as choon and choona, and i'm from the uk! I think that's how most people pronounce it here too.

It you pronounce is with a "CH" then probably just have an accent. Original pronounciation was hard t

I've really never heard anyone pronounce "Tu" as "Ch." Huh.

I never said it wasn't different to you. You asked how Americans pronounce "Tune" and I told you. You said it was weird and I said it wasn't. If I heard someone say, "Chewn," I would think they meant to say, "Chew" or "Chewing."

Well it's weird to me, that's what I meant!

It's too bad we can't get a group together, all of us from different countries, and throw out words to see what we all sound like. I think it would be really interesting. LOL

Too-Na, in the UK is Tju-Na but I don't get how you'd come to Chew-Na?

It's not "tju-na" in the UK

 

[himeki]

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)

This is how it is where I'm from- Choona.

Different parts of the UK

Somewhere between the two poll options, but closer to the "ch" sound. More like "tch". The T sound is still there, just soft.
