minus-square7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·4 months agoMy Midwestern ex wife pronounced it “aig” A long “a” sound. I’m a Southerner so for me it’s egg. With a eh sound.
minus-squarecriitz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-24 months agoOhh yeah, I have heard “aig” before. I didn’t even think of that as a different pronounciation, just an accent.
minus-squarecriitz@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 months agoOf course. But my mind categorizes them separately… As in, in two speakers with the same accent can have two different “pronounciations” of a word. And likewise, one “pronounciation” can sound differently coming from two different accents.

minus-squareOokami38@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoNo. The second G is silent. What’s wrong with you?
minus-squareRai@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 months agoIn New Zealand, it’s pronounced “ig”
minus-squareshikitohno@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoEveryone I’ve come across from NZ says it like igg, so there’s that one, too. Aussies have a weird vowel to it that I hear at times, too.

minus-squarermuk@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-24 months agoYou could say “eygg” or “uurggs”. So many options.
How else can you pronounce egg?
