minus-squaresensiblepuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·edit-23 months agoI’ve never heard anyone pronounce “tour” as rhymes with “sewer” in English. Perhaps in other languages?
minus-squareagamemnonymous@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoCloser to sewer, or “doer” or “fewer”. Compress it to one syllable. Think “ooh” not “ohh”.

minus-squaresparkle@lemm.eelinkfedilinkCymraegarrow-up3·edit-23 months agoIn most American dialects and some British dialects, “bore” and “tour” rhyme (called the “pour-poor merger”). But in some dialects it may rhyme with “sewer”/“two-er” or have the same sound as in “blue” or even as in “were”.
Bore rhymes with tour… no?
