Do you pronounce the word Flood: "Flod" or "Flood"? And for the word Blood? "Blod" or "Blood"?

G3K

Yeah, they're pronounced as they're spelt.

DragonsLover

So, Flood = "Flood" and Blood = "Blood"?

Andi

I thought Blood is pronounced like Blod or so. :-/

DragonsLover

Yep, but why Flood is pronounced like Flood and Blood is pronounced like Blod if both are written with 2 o?

Andi

I think every natural language has its own strangeness. :D

Louise

They're pronounced 'blud' and 'flud'.

blood.  Pronounced bl, then an uh sound (oo equals uh.  Sometimes it equals the letter U without the "y" part, as in "food")

flood.  same as blood, but with fl in front. :thumbsup:

Louise provided the simplest and best explaination by far. In fact, mine to DragonsLover (on MSN) was exactly the same, even though I hadn't read it. :P
