caramel and Carmel
|
|
| Do you pronounce these words the same way? I don't, I pronounce ''caramel'' as ''car-muhl'' [ka:rm..l] and ''Carmel'' as ''car-mehl'' [ka:rmel], rhymes with ''bell''. |
|
|
|
Caramel: 3 syllables 'c@r@m'l emphasis on first syllable and the third
barely pronounced
Carmel: as a Scot: ca:r'mel the "r" is clearly pronounced |
|
|
|
Caramel C@r..m.l
Carmel Ca:m.l |
|
|
| I am English, and I would defiantely pronounce it Cahra-mel. |

Steve, my pronunciation of those is identical to yours. Additionally, for me , "caramel"
is stressed on the first syllable, "Carmel" on the second.
I'm a native of the U.S. west coast. If you are also, that would explain the similarity in pronunciation. |

I pronounce both exactly as such: "Carmel" |
