Alpo Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I first heard of this berry a few years ago. I read of it, and then they spoke of it offhandedly on a Castle episode. Castle pronounced it with a hard G - like gun. Then the other day I heard someone on a YouTube video mention it, and he pronounced it with a soft G - like gym. The all-knowing internet tells me all about it. Everything I could ever want to know about the lingenberry. Except how it is pronounced. Is it an EE-ther/EYE-ther situation - both pronunciations are correct? And if only one of them is correct, which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Only thing I know about it is g before o is hard but like everything, there are exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I have always called them “ling-en-berries”. No one has corrected me. Probably because they pronounced it the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 I know my ears have gone bad. That second one sounded like he was saying Lean-gun berry But the first one sounded like Ling-mun berry And I just could not figure where the hell he was getting the M at.
