How do you pronounce "YouTube"?

hatrickpatrick · 07-08-2013 11:26PM #1

Not sure if this is a country specific thing, an accent thing or what, but I've noticed people have a bunch of different ways of pronouncing this:

You-chewb (how I say it)
You-Toob (American?)
You-tewb / you-tyoub
You-choob

Which way is technically correct and what differentiates people with different ones? I get the feeling turning a "t" into a "ch" sound is an Irish thing?

First one. But what is different from the first and last choice? Sound the same to me.

I pronounce it: "Wkjndfjkbmkbmfogmbofigmb".
And that is the correct way. Fact.

I convinced my brother a few years ago that it was pronounced "the ooh tube". He feel for it for a few weeks.

You-chewb. You've confused me now thinking about it!

I know someone that always types U Tube in Google. The first time he did it I nearly pissed myself laughing

I still don't know does he actually know its You and not U, or whether he couldn't be bothered typing in You.

"chewb" has a bit of a "you" sound in it whereas "choob" only has an "oo" sound. "Chewb" is rounder.

Think of it like the difference between the vowel sound in "cube" and "cool".

Not necessarily, a word being the suffix of another word can change its pronunciation completely I've found - Struggling to think of any examples now (Say how "man" in names like "Goldman" is generally pronounced much shorter than "man" on its own)

Well unless you're American thats deeply sad. Hearing a lot of little Americanisms infecting the Irish accent lately.
