minus-squaresensiblepuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·edit-25 months agoI’ve never heard anyone pronounce “tour” as rhymes with “sewer” in English. Perhaps in other languages?
minus-squareagamemnonymous@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 months agoCloser to sewer, or “doer” or “fewer”. Compress it to one syllable. Think “ooh” not “ohh”.
minus-squarestatic09@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoMaybe you’re pronouncing sewer in thinking of a person who sews instead of sewer as in waste drainage.
