Most annoying/hard to pronounce word

[Vereux0]

What do you think the most annoying word is? This includes any language.

Mine would be "roi" in French. (Pronounced "rwa")

 

[Hyatt]

Masochist
I still cant pronounce it half the time! And ever since Natane made her premier on Pokemon, I've had to use it in my vocabulary :/
Also, quadrilateral

And any Japanese words with more than one nri. Nri as in Benri (convenient) or Senri (May and Max's father). I have a problem with doing the Japanese R. Other than that, Japanese doesn't have much hard to pronounce words once you get used to the ryo/ryu/rya and the extended vowels like matte or benkyou suru. (come to think of it, benkyou hits both of them with both a kyo and an ou.)

 

[Æsahættr]

In Ancient History at the moment we're studying the Peloponnesian War. Half the time I can't spell it, and the other half I mispronounce it.

try this one: methylchloroisothiazolinone

 

[Kthleen]

^That's not hard. Got it immediately. Just break it down:

Methyl (MEH-thl)
Chloro (KLOR-oh)
Iso (EYE-so)
Thiazol (THIGH-uh-ZOLE)
Inone (ih-KNOWN)

Et voilà! MEH-thl-KLOR-oh-EYE-so-THIGH-uh-ZOLE-ih-KNOWN. The key is to not see it as one word, but several word parts.



On the other hand, I've gotten the hang of "sixth." There was just something about the transition from the "ks" sound to the "th" sound....

 

[Habunake]

Four.
FOUR.
FOUR!

And all it's kin, especially forty-four.

No wonder it's an unlucky number in some cultures.

 

[Chocolate Bones]

I'd have to say Reese's, because I can't stand when people say "Ree-Sees"

 

[Adamant]

In English? "Naturally".

NAT-chlee? gah.

 

[Kthleen]

Not sure who says it like that. I say "na-chruh-ly" or "na-chr-uh-ly."

 

[Geodude]

Pronunciation.

One of the stupidest words in the English language. You don't "pronunce" words, you "pronounce" them. So what's wrong with saying "pronounciation"?

 

[Lilac Hill]

Bassingthwaite.

How could anybody have that for a last name?

 

[Spark]

Barrel roll. Maybe I'm just tounge tied, but i cannot say it. Not even slowly. It always comes out as "Do a Ballel lole!." >_>;

 

[Illidan]

I, like many humans, have struggled to properly pronounce "Aluminum".

 

[Lilac Hill]

Or, as we call it, Aluminium.

 

[Rhyperior]

crisps

 

[Calvin]

Me, when you say "Damn" continuously.

Damn damn dam dam dan yam yam dyam.

 

[Ino-Chan]

Chisle

I saw Chick-sle

 

[firepokemon]

inadequacy is fine but when you try and do inadequacies you tend to run into difficulties and of course I have spell check on but its set to American spelling so often I need to look twice before deciding that New Zealand english words are the best choice.

Edit: I've just realised I didn't even read the damn title properly. So in otherwords basically I spammed. So to fix that I will actually answer the question

I also have difficulties with the r in words. But anything like pedantic or pretentious or even particularly I struggle with. P seems to be a major problem with me.

 

[Chatsy]

Any English/American word starting with 'r'.

Seriously, I can't use your damn r's. >( They end up sounding like 'w', so when I say 'really' it's 'weally' with emphasis on 'w'. Beh.

 

[Treemo]

Sesshomaru. Aka Inuyasha's older brother. I find his name absolute hell to pronounce.
