Caramel - How do you pronounce it?

[Trikip]

How do you pronounce caramel? I pronounce it just the way it sounds, caramel. Why do you people skip the second 'a'? XD

 

[Johto Boy]

I pronounce it care-uh-mel.

 

[Pokepoop]

I pronounce it Caramel. Carmel sounds weird

 

[Jack O'Neill]

I pronounce caramel with the second "a," just how it should be pronounced. I don't really know why people pronounce it with a silent "a."

 

[Lust]

I skip the second "a". Don't know why, I just do.

 

[Miyu-chan]

I think I do it both ways... O.o; But mostly, 'Carmel'. Both are correct though - I think. xD;

 

[*~Ashley~*]

I do it both ways too. I'm overthinking it right now, so I'm not sure how I really say it more often. O_o;

I do know I say carmel when I'm talking about carmel apples. <3

But on it's own, I think I just call it caramel...

 

[Allstories]

I say care-mel. So I'm almost right, I guess.

 

[Shikon no Tama]

I just pronouce it care-a-mel. Either way, it's the same word, so pronouciation shouldn't really matter, should it? O.o;;;

 

[Cherrim]

I've opened dictionary.com to check pronunciation so many times over the past few days. o_O;

Anyway, both are correct, but I use 'caramel;' that is to say, I always pronounce the second A. It just sounds odd to me without it. However... I suppose it might depend on the way it was said... *knows she's going to ramble if she lets herself continue, so shuts up* XD;

ca (like cat) ru (like run) ml (i skip the e)

 

[Happy Dude]

I say "Caramel".

I don't know why but i just do.XD

 

[Sorye HK]

I say "caramel." CA-RU-MEL.

 

[Kylie-chan]

Ca-ruh-mel.
How it's supposed to be pronounced.

 

[Blitz~2005]

yeah thats how i pronounce it exept i miss the e at the end :D ca (like cat) ru (like run) ml (i skip the e) but its basicly the same, its just because i say it fast :P

 

[Sylphiel]

Meh...I say it with all three syllables - care-uh-mel. Dunno if I've ever pronounced it otherwise (except for maybe pronouncing the first syllable slightly differently).

 

[Chairman Kaga]

I live in hillbilly country so I was brought up to say carmel, and even though I try to say caramel now that I know it's correct, I usually accidentally say carmel -_-;

 

[BladeForever]

Reminds me of how people pronounce Almond. Some say All-Mond or Al(e)-Mond. (w/e x_x, I say Ale-Mond) That's another topic though. ^_^
I always liked to say Caramel. From the 1st day I tried some to now, that's how I say it.

~Blade~

 

[Lucid]

I just say it the way it's spelled: care-uh-mel. x.x

 

[PichuSecretBase]

Care-Reh-Mel

Not like I ever say it but that's how I'm thinking I would pronounce it. :3
