Looie-ville.I'll break it down by syllable:
LOO-uh-vul.
- LOO- This is the stressed syllable. It's also the only one that's remotely phonetic.
- Uh- It's pretty much like you got punched in the abdomen, but a little less breathy.
- Vul- This is where the cigar and 6 Bourbons really come in. As long as there's something resembling a V sound at the beginning and an L sounds at the end, you can't slur it too much.
If you're in the town in Ohio of the same name, you'd be spot on.I swear I was never corrected and, again, I blame ESL parents, but I've always pronounced it (until recently) "Louis-ville". I'm a heathen, sorry.
So slippery. I feel like I keep giving the 'uh' in the middle too high placement. I think if I said it out loud it'd be fine/sound normal? It feel like it has no syllables but it has many syllables!I'll break it down by syllable:
LOO-uh-vul.
- LOO- This is the stressed syllable. It's also the only one that's remotely phonetic.
- Uh- It's pretty much like you got punched in the abdomen, but a little less breathy.
- Vul- This is where the cigar and 6 Bourbons really come in. As long as there's something resembling a V sound at the beginning and an L sounds at the end, you can't slur it too much.
Seems familiar....but maybe not quite those words?!Anyone grow up with this?
