I was talking to my friend and I said "blah blah blah... Lapis Lazuli ...blah blah blah..." and she's like "what" and I'm like "what" and she's like "you said that wrong" and I'm like "no I didn't" and she's like "it's pronounced laz-oo-LIE" and "I'm like puhLEASE it's pronounced laz-OO-lee!"

Let's see who's RIGHT!!!!

(If you're wondering, yes, I did post this question on a skin, but I wasn't getting enough answers there xD)

Uhm ^^^

I like to pronounce it the way you write it, but making the "a" an "ea" in "lapis", and with a low volume "s", and then "lazuli" with "a" being "ea" again and a long "u".

Hopefully this is understandable up there ^

Wikipedia says that la-zoo-lee, la-soo-lee, and la-soo-lye are all accepted pronunciations.

I voted for "other" because, based on some searching, it looks like both work, but the one that I use is "-lee."

I agree with you, although I've always found it easier just to say "Lapis"

Anyway, I pronounce lazui as Lah-Zoo-Lie, because that's how I learned it. Tbh, I didnt even know that people pronounced it differently.

I'm sorry, but I have to go with your friend. Since when you say Lap-is Laz-oo-LEE it sounds wrong. When you say Lap-is Laz-oo-LIE it sounds better to me. If its Laz-oo-LEE for Americans, then they're both correct. Since I'm sure Laz-oo-LIE is for British English. So I'm sure they're both correct according to where you come from

my mother (or father i cant remember lol) say 'la-zool' instead of 'la-zoo-lee'

and i think it should be 'la-zoo-lee' not 'laz-oo-lee' because it makes MUCH more sense.

You don't pronounce the i?

Yeah, in Canada it's kind of a mix between the U.S and England, so it could be either way where I live.
I'm just trying to see which is more popular xD
I'm winniiiiiing

I personally pronounce it like you do, but according to some google searches, it seems your friend is actually correct.

Much like the age-old JIF vs GIF debate though, I'll still keep pronouncing it la-zoo-lee.
