Because I know I'll say it wrong. Just like I never order gyros because I know I'll say it wrong. If I want them I make DH order for me. 808love on "How do you say the word "foyer"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-the-word-foyer/page/2#post-163694 Sun, 20 May 2012 03:11:34 +0000 808love 163694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to say foy-yay but everyone calls it a foyer around here so I've switched recently. sandy on "How do you say the word "foyer"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-the-word-foyer/page/2#post-163360 Sat, 19 May 2012 10:40:54 +0000 sandy 163360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I guess I say foy-yay (like if I was reading a book aloud) but I never really say that...I just front entry or something. I say auntie like "anty" mostly referring to friends who are not really aunts...like my best friends kids all call me auntie and my LO will call them auntie but will call her real aunt "aunt" cyneswith on "How do you say the word "foyer"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-the-word-foyer/page/2#post-163356 Sat, 19 May 2012 10:19:27 +0000 cyneswith 163356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Foy-yay, except around family. It's also "ant" to me. I have two Aunties and quite a few aunts. Auntie Nan is the bestest person ever! And I am "ant" to my US wee ones, and "ahnt" to my English ones.

Dorothy calls her aunt "Auntie Em" pronounced as "Anty Em". sulli301 on "How do you say the word "foyer"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-the-word-foyer#post-163201 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:03:22 +0000 sulli301 163201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrsjyw: ditto :) Rainbow Sprinkles on "How do you say the word "foyer"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-the-word-foyer#post-163180 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:10:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 163180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I say Foy-yay. People laugh at me cause most people around here say Foy-yer. Isn't Foy-yay the "correct" way?

I know sometimes I'm wrong but it's fun lol and he's the odd one out since he moved to my homestate :) Although, I DO think that aunt is supposed to be pronounced rhyming with font, think of the word "jaunt", we don't say "jant" lol mediagirl on "How do you say the word "foyer"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-the-word-foyer#post-163129 Fri, 18 May 2012 17:19:41 +0000 mediagirl 163129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Coco Bee: haha. I just go with whatever my family calls people. I have never once in my life called one of my aunts auntie! Now that I'm thinking about it...my friends call me auntie Jill to their kids and they say "ant"ie! Haha. I think it is definitely a regional thing.

To answer your question, I don't know anybody who says "auntie" OR "anty"! It's just aunt. (Ant.)

I had NO IDEA people say it differently! It's a French word, so I pronounce it foy yay - that's how it should be!! @Adira: @mediagirl: I say aunt as in font. It's partly a midwest thing, because when I moved to the East Coast everyone there said "ant". When you say "auntie" do you say "anty"?? I always call my aunts "auntie", I think "anty" sounds weird lol PawPrints on "How do you say the word "foyer"?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-say-the-word-foyer#post-163090 Fri, 18 May 2012 15:38:50 +0000 PawPrints 163090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Yoyo: I only say foy-yay in the same ironic manner that we sometimes say Tar-jay. :) It's foy-er.
