Dacia are celebrating their fifth anniversary in the UK with a new ad emphasizing correct pronunciation of Dacia. It has a Duster in it. And roller skates. And a disco ball.

I basically use it as an excuse to pronounce it “wrong” (at least wrong according to everyone outside the US)

Huh, that ad said “dah-see-uh” but the ad above said “dah-chah”, so which is it, Dacia!?

The world is.

Basil, oregano, leisure, etc... for instance.

Then their is your own people dropping the ‘u’.

Lol.

Apparently it’s supposed to be “dah-chah”, like Lancia is “lan-cha”.

You could say that about the ‘k’ in knife, ‘c’ in scissors, ‘g’ in gnat, ‘k’ in knight, etc...

The seven+ ways to pronounce ‘ough’.

though (like o in go)

through (like oo in too)

cough (like off in offer)

rough (like uff in suffer)

plough (like ow in flower)

ought (like aw in saw)

borough (like a in above)

hiccough like cup)

America, hun-day

U.K., hi-un-die

Australia, hee-un-day

This is getting too confusing.

Three English speaking countries, well, two and America’s English-ish and three different answers.
