Is Tuna pronounced Choo-nah or Toon-ah ?!


Question: Is Tuna pronounced Choo-nah or Toon-ah !?
Answers:
Zoo-nah! The "T" is silent with a slight "Z" accent!. Put an emphasis on the fourth syllable and roll the "n"!.

The "Zoo" comes from the Latin "Zoo", which means "animal", which is what a Tuna is!. However, some botanists claim that a Tuna is a fruit, similar to the tomato!. I think that tuna may be closer related to a bat or a mushroom, which are both a type of fungus!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on where you are in the world!. You can pronounce it however you choose, I believe, but in order to be understood by someone else, you have to know which term they would better understand!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well I have never heard it pronounced choo-nah, so I'd say toon-ah is the correct pronunciation!. It might be pronounced differently depending on region and accents though!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Can't believe I'm answering this!. The word 'tuna' is pronounced 'to-nah' or 'too-nah' or 'tu-na' or '2-nah' Get the idea!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
