Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I do know it started out being called fapa..they added the periodic later. That is what the paperwork said that they gave me which is why some docs just say FAPA. > > We have heard pronounced several different ways.

I also like the fact that we all say things a little differently. I just tells me there's no right or wrong way, really. I agree with that it would be great to have some of the perfumery terms with pronunciations. I would be happy to start a list with 's suggestions as a starting place. I am pretty sure I'm also saying bergamot wrong - I leave off the final t and say bergamo. I guess I'm saying it like the city. So, we've covered labdanum, ylang ylang and now bergamot. Any others?

I'm still stunned at the ee-loong ee-loong! My professor, as I recall, slurred them together, the second ee disappeared, and it was accent on the second syllable, mild, but noticeable with the lang, not loong. Hey, I'm sure I stunned a lot of my students when they heard my East Coast American accent. One asked if I was from New York. No, Philly, but I can say dawg for dog just like the best of them, including many from the UK who pronounce it dawg, LOL.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 How is Kefir pronounced? I looked it up and dictionary.com says kuh-feer. Is this correct? That's how I've been saying it, but just wanted to check. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 That is correct. I've heard most Americans who haven't looked it up (that used to include me, until I did look it up!) say " keefer, " but the correct pronunciation is " kuh-feer " or " keh-feer.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 In this country we say KEE fur. All my European customers say Kuh FEER. I don't think one is right or wrong. In a lot of foreign languages the accent is on the last syllable. Marilyn On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 10:44 AM, Sue Talbert <sbtalbert@...> wrote: > That is correct.
