How do you pronounce apricot?

[Degusaurusrex]

People of the world:

App-ricot

OR

Ape-ricot


Annnnnnd go!

 

[Dpravity]

Apricot

A-pra-cot

 

[Tanakalian]

A-bri-koos

Oh wait, that's the Dutch one. But basically the same A-pri-cot.

Funny, two answers, none that the OP was expecting. But @Dpravity the 'pra'?

 

[Dpravity]

Southern part of the US. Like prance though it is a bit divided from what I have seen between that and pru as in Prussian.

 

[Degusaurusrex]

It does seem to be very regional. The NE parts of the US are the ones that pronounce it more like 'app' whereas other people have never heard it said that way.

 

[RedRose]

ah-bree-co

 

[Trussed Maiden]

app-ree-cot

 

[Pink.]

App-prih-cot and ay-prih-cot.

It depends on absolutely zero factors, but I say it both ways.

PNW resident, here.

 

[blueskye]

South of England here. Ape-ree-cot all the way.

 

[Blobbles]

Huh, I thought the standard one (which is also what I use) is more along the lines of "Ay-pre-cot" (similar to "Ape-ree-cot", but the emphasis falls on "pre")

 

[Praxis]

App-ricot

Apes have nothing to do with it.

 

[aego1293]

I didn't even know "ape" was an option. I will try it out and record my findings. ;P

 

[Winterfire]

When I saw the thread title I was confused "There's more than one way to say apricot?" Apparently there are quiet a few.
I say: ah-prih-cot

 

[Adamina]

Ap-pri-cot.

 

[LadyAutumn]

I say "app-rih-kott", personally. I presume it varies by dialect

 

[CharmSnake]

Peach.

 

[Fat Girl Rising]

Super-Southern here, "that thing that is yellow but not a peach."

People who actually know, "ape-rik-kot."

Me, "too much anxiety to know how to say the thing not PEAR."

"Ap-ri-kot," from my family without the anxiety.

 

[Staine]

Ape-rih-kot

Because it's how it's meant to be pronounced. Fight me.

 

[Laa]

A-pri-cot.
Not sure how to spell that phonetically. Ah-pri-kutt?

 

[Annachronism]

I’ll see to it you don’t get apricot one.
