Cerinthe

Although not a plant to identify, can someone please tell me how to pronounce the above? Thanks.

cheers

 

Hi, borrowers .... I've always called it 'Sear'inth'a' ... but I'm probably wrong. :D

 

Thanks lol. I do the same but with an 'ee' at the end Just guessed at it so i wasn't to far out.

cheers mate

Good site peter bookmarked it.:thumb:

 

Looks like you were closer than me, borrowers.

Excellent site, Peter, I have saved it also. :thumb: I shall go through it later and see what else I am pronouncing incorrectly. :rolleyes:

 

Great site! Quite funny listening to the pronounciations in an American accent! Got me thinking that actually most of us on here will pronounce things differently, just with our differing local diallects!

 

Thanks Peter. This is going to be a well used site i can see.

LoL, doesn't matter as long as we know what we talking about. We were close enough. Bit like 'eether' 'eyether'.

cheers
