People who say guh -nome are the same sick psychos who pronounce GIF "Jiff".
Knice to meat you
Found the KDE user!
or Jiraffe, Giraffe.
That format was a gift to the world.
a gigantic and gargantuan achievement that enabled memes that make you giddy when you get the gist of their jokes
but yeah who cares what the dude says, language evolves and its pronounced gif now
So all French people
French people are definitely psychos so that makes sense
As a non-native english speaker who thought I had finally grasped the english language can confirm I, in fact, hadn’t (I pronounce gnome as “guhnome” also as in “garden guhnome”, I had no idea)
How do you pronounce gnocci, gnat, etc? They may start with a 'g' but the proper pronunciation is just /n/.
I know to pronounce the italian gnocchi as ñoki (like it was also mentioned above) but believe it or not, people here pronounce it with like “guh-notchi” same in “guh-nat” It’s just some Slavic languages (I cant speak for all) pronounce every letter in words, so there is this tendency. PS: thanks for reminding me, the “g” in gnat is silent xD
My mother tongue very rarely completely mutes the sound of letters. More often, they are just deadened. So I can't help but pronounce a little bit of G at the beginning of those words.
