What is the right way to pronounce patina?

[Rupestris]

At the risk of sounding like an idiot. Could someone tell me how the word Tidioute is pronounced?

Wondered that myself and found this:
"Tidioute” (pronounced tiddy-oot) is an Iroquois (Seneca) Indian word meaning 'protrusion of land', relating to the feature that the Allegheny River makes a sharp bend at this site, creating a near-peninsula within the river valley.

Thanks Thomason. I was pronouncing the second syllable with a short "i" sound and the last as more of an "out" soound.

Tidioute is pronounced like a southern Ontarian (pronounce THAT) telling you of Janice Jackson's Superbowl exploits a while back!

My great uncle had a camp on the Allegheny River near Tidioute. I always loved that name and that camp.

Since I live about 10 minutes from Camillus, NY I've learned how to pronounce that one too!

While we are (hilariously) pronouncing the names of knife brands/companies, can someone PLEASE tell me the definitive pronunciation of;

Laguiole ??

When I was in France, my friends pronounced it: La-Yole

 

[fewpop]

Are you sure you want to know?

The last time I learned the correct way to pronounce a commonly read word ("Camillus"), it caused my entire world to collapse...

"Or that green tint that happens to copper and bronze/s!"

verdegris, with a french accent.

You learn something new everyday. I always said "lag-ee-ole". (Laguiole)

So, I'm almost afraid to ask - how do you pronounce "Opinel"? I have always said "oh-pin-ell".

thx - cpr

ps - I asked my dad again, and he doesn't remember ever telling me about "patina". That figures. He does remember me pronouncing the Sioux indians the "Sigh-oucks" indians. (I'll never live that one down.)

When I was in France, my friends pronounced it: La-Yole

I just found a pronunciation site, with sound! They put a k sound in front of the yole.

"la-kyole". Maybe a regional difference??

Hampton pronounces Case like kas-E.
