I pronounce them geef (kinda like give with an f) and nootella, but English is not my native language so I probably don't count in this discussion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay, so I was having an argument with my Girlfriend about this. But if Yoshi is pronounced Yo-she, shouldn't Yobi be pronounced Yo-bee and not Yob-e?

I pronounced GIF like JIF peanut butter for a few years, then I changed when someone tried to make a pun with the word "gift" and I couldn't get it.

Nut-tella is how I've always said the word, and heard it for that matter.

always heard "noo-tella" so i use that
"gif" feels natural but both "gif" and "jif" are proper so it doesn't bother me anyway. (though the faux-spanish "hhif" pronunciation is one i plan on using if anyone ever tries to start an argument about it in person)

Yobi was an alternate Yoshi that was in a Romhack that raocow played at some point. There also was an instagram post we found together that talked about a Yoshi named Yobi. So yeah we got in an argument about how his name is pronounced

Obviously the G in GIF is a glottal trill.
I always said gee-eye-eff, as I think someone else said earlier. And noo-tella,though I've only heard a handful of people say it now I think about it...

but how do you pronounce scone

Gif rhymes with stiff for me. The other one I could see being either way since "nu" can be pronounced like "new". I wouldn't know since I don't have that stuff.

Now let's go have some mostaccioli (musk-uh-cho-lee). Actually, let's not. I'm not too big on that.

Super late to the game:

gif: hard g, not like the peanut butter.
Nutella: noo-TELLA, cause it's Italian, so Italian pronunciation rules.

I am also late

  • I use both "gif" pronunciations pretty much interchangeably, and I'd bet a fair few people do the same
  • I reduce the first vowel in "Nutella" to schwa-blivion, so [nəˈte̞lə] (basically "nihTELLih")
  • different regions might have different more common pronunciations of "either" and "neither" but everywhere uses both; basically either is acceptable, and neither is wrong
  • apparently the pronunciation of the <th> in "with" varies but a lot of places that have [θ] (<th> as in "thought") will switch it to [ð] (as in "this") when it's followed by a vowel; funnily enough, my accent doesn't do this (it's always [θ] as in "thought")
  • relatedly, how do you say the <s> in "us"? 'cause I had a lecturer (from the north of England) who would say [ʊz] rhyming with "fuzz", rather than "fuss" as I do (vowel differences notwithstanding)
  • relatedly relatedly, do you ever pronounce the letter <x> like [gz] in some words (e.g. "exam", "exhibit", as opposed to [ks] in "axe", "express")? 'cause I don't (always [ks] for me), but most references I see regarding the pronunciation of words like these and the letter <x> mention it, even for my accent
  • this might be the most I've used my degree since leaving uni
  • bullet points are fun
  • hi

In my native language, words are pronounced the way they're written.
I would say nutella as nutella, but the l is long, and gif with a g.

However, if I had to say these in english, I'd say nootella and jif.

Psst. Both ways of saying gif would rhyme with stiff, me. Soft g for the sound as in gift. It's not peanut butter.

(wow I've been inactive here for a while)
I personally say "aluminium" when talking about chemistry, but habit has made it hard to not say "aluminum" when talking about stuff like aluminum foil

when I was younger, a good decade-plus ago, I would often watch mythbusters and wonder what this "illuminum" stuff was that they mentioned sometimes. it wasn't until a good few years later that I realised it was just the american form of "aluminium".
