Do you pronounce it Toronto or Tronno?

[u/androkottus]

I have had meetings with a few people from Toronto who keep calling it Tronno. How do you pronounce it? I am asking in this group because: - I live here - French Quebecois pronunciations could vary from Tronnians

Please remove if this isn’t allowed.

[u/samwise141]

Its more like turawno for Anglo people from Toronto. Said as an Anglo person from Toronto. 

[u/KateCapella → u/samwise141]

I say it the same way as an anglo Montrealer.

[u/Abby_May_69]

I say it like “Churawno” lol

[u/m53947 → u/Abby_May_69]

Yes! Ch-rawno

As in: 1.5 syllables

Chraw-no

Ch raw no

[u/julioqc]

de kessé tu fume big? 

[u/Affectionate_Ice2243 → u/julioqc]

ma blonde dit Long Gay au lieu de Longueuil

[u/julioqc → u/Affectionate_Ice2243]

lol moi aussi asteur 

[u/feldhammer]

Anglo quebecker. I say tronno

[u/confabulati → u/feldhammer]

Same. It’s like saying Muntreal instead of Mawntreal. Or Vangcouver and not Van-couver. Or Oddawa.

[u/feldhammer → u/confabulati]

I say h'ottawa

[u/SuhkItLuzerz]

It depends on the social context and rate of speech:

Speaking carefully in a formal context: Toronto /tərɑnto/

Speaking in a more relaxed context: Teronno /tərɑno/

More relaxed and faster speech: Tronno /tʃrɑno/

Speaking quickly in casual context: Tronna /tʃrɑnə/

[u/dailyzzzz → u/SuhkItLuzerz]

(from toronto) this is the answer

[u/Inevitable-Damage815 → u/SuhkItLuzerz]

if you're in a hurry and/or want to look cool: T dot

[u/SuhkItLuzerz → u/Inevitable-Damage815]

I've never heard of that, had to look it up https://historyoftoronto.ca/blog/what-is-the-origin-of-the-nickname-the-dot-for-toronto

I guess I'm not cool 😢

[u/BBAALLII]

• Quand je parle français: To ron to
• When I speak English: To ron no

[u/JohnyZoom]

T'eau - rond - t'eau

Tokébakicitte

[u/starryeyedfingers]

The second T isn't completely silent but it is very reduced. 

[u/hyundai-gt]

Me: Tor-On-To

Torontonians: Ta-Ranna

[u/souregg44]

Turrono & Munch ree all

Anglo maritimer 😂

[u/Crowasaur]

Tow-Rron-tow

French.

[u/HungryLikeDaW0lf]

Originally from northern Ontario. We say “Tranna” jokingly and everyone knows we mean Toronto. More professionally we say “Toronno”

[u/TrottoirFleuri]

Toronno

[u/Musicman12456]

Toe-ron-toe

[u/SwellMonsieur]

Tarannah

[u/NomiMaki]

Toronto with a hard R and hard T in French, Tronno in English, personally

[u/Rayn360]

Tah-rwo-no

[u/Mean_Quail_6468]

Im an Anglo québécoise and pronounce it Toronto

[u/retroretaliation]

People that live in Toronto generally pronounce it Toronno, anglos that live outside of Toronto pronounce it Toronto, with the second T. I’m originally from outside of Toronto but I lived there for 5 years.

[u/mrpopenfresh]

Turannah

[u/Owls_are_Raptors]

Trawna

[u/johndrake666]

Now I read it with Indian accent.

[u/OkField169]

Toronno, some people say Tronno though

[u/Max169well]

Torona

[u/m53947]

If a person utters one or even two hard T’s in Toronto, or says Toronto with MORE than 1.5 or 2 syllables, that person is NOT a Torontonian.

In fact, if an English speaker in Ontario is using hard T’s at all, most likely a foreigner. Or worse, american. (KEEP ‘EM OUT!)

“Water” is pronounced and also sounds like “order”.

Wa-der Or-der

[u/Naive-Thought1323]

T dot

[u/Crowasaur → u/Naive-Thought1323]

I'd Say T-T-O and drive Tranahs nuts.

[u/Romanofafare2034]

People from there usually use "tuh-raw-no"

[u/Hugotohell]
