My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it’s the way I’ve heard it I can’t support my pronunciation even after some searches. What’s yours and why?
Sentour.
sen-tor
As in taurus, which rhymes with torus.
That’s one of my wife’s answers.
You’re very prompt.
That’s how merriam webster pronounces it! I’d pronounce it like that as well, got curious, so I googled
Correctly, smugly and pretentiously
Nice.
I pronounce it like sen + tar, and accent it like boxcar. Can’t think of a reason, that’s just how it looks to me.
Cent-aur.
Cen-toor
If it’s in a Greek or ancient Latin context I pronounce it with a hard C, but if it’s a general English context I pronounce it with a soft C.
I’m not sure what the third way would be.
The third way would be a difference in how the diphthong is pronounced: “-aur” or “-ower.”
So far, the main way I haven’t seen suggested.
I guess I owe my wife an apology.
Cent-our
¢-aur — I’m not sure why I pronounce it that way; it’s just how I’ve always pronounced it.
Can’t are
Sɛntɵ
Sen-towr
Sehn-tar, because I am American and that’s how I learned to say it. How am I meant to justify a common pronunciation?
Ken (as the name) - ta (with a hard T and A as in catapult) - ur (with an u like in Vonnegut’s name)
tho I’m from europe speaking a weird ass language
Sentår. Phonetically with Norwegian letter.
