How do you pronounce "coupon"?

[Lilacs4Me]

Midwest here - Q-pon

And I don't really care how it's SUPPOSED to be pronounced lol

Having been born and bred with the "Great Lakes/Inland Northern" accent, or aka "Standard" American English, I figure I pronounce pretty much all words "correctly", so I should be able to get at least ONE word wrong!

Although, IRL, I am sure there will be a million examples of other words I say incorrectly! haha

 

[MataHari22]

Coo-pon.

Who voted "other"? And please explain. Thanks!

I'm the second person who voted "other."

KOO-pon, not coo-pon.

The letter "c" really should be eliminated as unnesessary. In 99% of kases, it kan be replased by the letters k and s.

Yes! I've been sitting here trying to figure out how I say the word, & I think I say it both ways at different times.

I maybe say "Q-pawn" mostly, & the other way I say it is actually more "coo-pun" than "coo-PON".

I'm in the south.

Both. Was raised on Q, evolved to coo over time, and now...who knows what will come out of my mouth?

Think I pronounce those both the same!!

 

[RedAngie]

I suppose I'm a bi-coupon-er. I'm never sure which way I will pronounce it next.

My mother always said q-pon.

 

[amberpi]

I don't even know how a Q could be associated with coupon.

 

[Meriweather]

both, but Q more often.....not sure why

 

[Mizzoufan]

Q pon

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Coo pin... But only with DH

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

I say it both ways, depending on conversation and how it comes out.
