Can The Media Learn How To Pronounce Badenoch....aaarrrrggghhh!

[ToraToraTora]

They keep saying Bay denoch, the bad rhymes with sad.

How do you know what pronunciation to use?

[brainiac]

It's    Bad - enough

[Atheist]

Anyway, it's pronounced karzi.

[barry1010]

Is that your voice, TTT?  That's how you say Jag

[ToraToraTora]

no it's jaaaag.

I knew you would have to get in on the act.

Shall we go for a fourth Kemi thread?

Will she reach the heights of Boris or Farage?

[Old_Geezer]

The way it is spelt it can be pronounced "Bad enoch" or "Bade noch", but clearly "Bade enoch" doesn't follow the rules.

[albaqwerty]

You're wrong, 3T, it is pronounced Bay denoch.

Kevin herself said as much when she said there were no bad people in her house.

[Peter Pedant]

no you need a double d to shorten  the /a/

Baddenoch -  it is usual to ask  the  fambly how they pronounce their surname 

Drogheda is obviously wrong - but 50 y  ago I was told is was Drawda - and other said no - Drockedda---- shows the lenition of gh from ch to zero before our very eyes

you have to ask them

[jackthehat]

You are wrong, TTT;

Her name is, as Alba says, kɛmi ˈbeɪdənɒk/ KEM-ee BAY-də-nok.

Fancy not knowing that.....😛

.....'scuse me?

[Clone]

I knew that, but then I would 🤣

[THECORBYLOON]

The area of Badenoch in Scotland is pronounced "Baydenoch" with the "och" sounded as in "loch" (not "lock").

She pronounces her surname the English way, "Baydenock".

[ToraToraTora]

OK fair enough. I always thought it was bad rather that bayed so I researched it first to check and found the YT above so that must be wrong too.

[ToraToraTora]

my 13:24 reply was to 13:06 and 13:21

[THECORBYLOON]

It seems then, the media have been pronouncing it the way Kemi Badenoch does.

Perhaps you should avoid taking the advice of a Frenchman regarding Scots or English pronunciation?

 

[Clone]

It's hard though when the French talk amongs us.

How is this news? Let's hope she never talks about the nuclear deterrent. Ttt would explode as it was being reported
