How to pronounce the word "enjoy"?
The English word "enjoy" should be pronounced by: en-joy or in-joy??
Thanks! Last edited by mrkpower; 01-12-2017 at 07:48 AM. |

Why not en-joy? That's how people in my neck of the woods pronounce it.

In some regional accents, like the South, the "en-" is pronounced harder and does sound like "in-".

South and Midwest also pushes the 'eh' sound of the letter 'e' into an 'ih' sound. I cringe a little every time I hear 'git' instead of 'get'. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just know it's a positive thing when I hear it. :-)

In the UK we lean towards the 'in' rather than 'en'.

It was always en-joy in my neck of the woods.

I've said enough times in my head now that I am going "en" joy. "Injoyment" and "anjoyment" don't sound right. Accents and dialects aside I think we're on the same page.
Y'all have a nice day,eh!

We also pronounce 'herb' like 'house' and 'hill.' Why, you may ask? Well, I may be wrong, but I suspect it's because someone saw fit to stick an 'h' at the beginning!
