Pardon my ignorance. Is it pronounced two-door?

Argentius · 11 October 2013, 02:42 PM

It's just like the royal family. Too-der, rhymes with tutor.

joe100 · 11 October 2013, 02:43 PM

Just like the Royal family, for which it's named

Henry VIII would have said "Tyoo-der". That's the English pronunciation, anyway.

Old Expat Beast · 11 October 2013, 05:54 PM

Nicely done, Chris.

The Joker · 11 October 2013, 06:51 PM

I find the US pronunciation weird. Like Too-der

English version is more like or Tiw-der or even chew-der.

77T · 11 October 2013, 07:22 PM

There are Tu choices per the dictionary...

Tu·dor [too-der, tyoo-der]

How · 11 October 2013, 07:46 PM

Tue-da

(well, that's how you say it with an Australian accent anyway!)

I believe the correct pronunciation is "A Rolex with an ETA movement"

Its a Welsh name pronounced Tewdwr, from Owen Tudor the founder of the Tudor dynasty.

eeh100773 · 12 October 2013, 04:21 AM

I've heard some people pronounce Omega as 'o-MEE-gah', but never heard anyone screw up Tudor.

Sean.UK · 12 October 2013, 04:27 AM

Say 'Tudor' Frenchie!

JustABreathAway · 12 October 2013, 05:08 AM

Hmm, I say Two-Door, but I'm as American as they get.

You mean like Etta James? Or the greek letter, Eta?

Maybe we need to lengthen it to Eterna.

How many ways can we say that?
