Do you know how to say “Toronto”?

[the5thcolumnist@mstdn.ca]

@EdwinG

You forgot "Trawna"

[albertan_albertan@mstdn.ca]

@EdwinG it’s really more of a “Toe-Ron-doe” 🇨🇦

[just_one_bear@mastodon.social]

@EdwinG I picked the closest, but more like "Tchrahnah" if spoken fast.

[plumbert@thecanadian.social]

@EdwinG Could use more granularity on where you are from. From not-Toronto or from Toronto (or the GTA) seems like it would split between options one and two.

[laketrout@mastodon.social]

@EdwinG tchrawno

[hollygodarkly@wandering.shop]

@EdwinG
More like tron-oh (or even tron-uh if being super fast/lazy)

[edelruth@mastodon.online]

@EdwinG

There should be 'Tr' versions 😎

[edwing@mstdn.moimeme.ca]

@Albertan_AlbertAn Indeed… too late to change, it would reset the poll.

@the5thColumnist Choices were made 😆

I’m limited to 4

@Edelruth I’m limited to 4 choices, so choices were made 😆

@EdwinG Tran-na

[linuxandyarn@hachyderm.io]

@EdwinG I visited "Toronno" in 2005 and got educated, and there are always Blue Jays games to keep me on my T-Os.

@EdwinG Toe-ron-toe

[anguadelphine@mk.absturztau.be]

@EdwinG@mstdn.moimeme.ca

I voted Tor on toe, but usually pronounce it To-ron-toe. Brit.

@EdwinG

Trahna

[anarchaeopteryx@gamepad.club]

@EdwinG As someone who lives there, Tran-na is the correct prononciation but Tron-no is acceptable. 😁

[zenheathen@beige.party]

@EdwinG I always struggle with how to spell the pronunciation, usually land around Chronna or thereabouts.

But in talking about it just this morning, it occurred to me how close it is to "trauma". Say trauma, then switch the m for n, and you're very close.

@EdwinG @Chigaze Years ago, I heard that people from Sarnia say "sar-NEE-uh". I've never had to be there to find out.

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@EdwinG m8 no T's or O's.
