How do you know what pronunciation to use?

It's    Bad - enough

Anyway, it's pronounced karzi.

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

Question Author

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?

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

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.

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

You are wrong, TTT;

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

Fancy not knowing that.....😛

// Kevin herself //

.....'scuse me?

I knew that, but then I would 🤣

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".

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.

Question Author

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

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?

 

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
