How do you pronounce OFTEN? | British English Pronunciation

- Hello everyone, this is Lucy

Salutare tuturor, sunt Lucy

from English with Lucy.

de la "Engleza cu Lucy".

I've got a really, really quick video answering a question

Acesta este un video foarte foarte rapid pentru a raspunde unei intrebari

that I've been getting quite a lot

pe care am primit-o de multe ori,

and it is how do you pronounce this word?

si aceasta este...cum pronunti acest cuvant?

Well, there are two acceptable ways of pronouncing it.

Ei bine, sunt doua variante acceptate de a-l pronunta.

Now, originally in old, old English,

Original, in engleza veche,

the only correct way was often.

singura forma corecta este *asculta-i pronunția*

Often.

*asculta-i pronuntia*

But now many, many people pronounce it often.

Dar acum, foarte multi oameni il pronunta *asculta*

Often.

*asculta*

And Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries

Dictionarele de la Cambridge si Oxford

both accept this pronunciation.

accepta ambele pronuntii.

I am actually more inclined

Eu am tendinta

to pronounce it often as well

sa pronunt 'often'

simply because it's something

doar pentru ca este ceva

that my parents said.

ce spuneau părinții mei.

So, both are absolutely fine

Asadar, amandoua formele sunt perfect corecte

and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

si nu lasa pe nimeni sa iti spuna altfel.

Big kiss to all my Lucifers

Pupici pentru Luciferii mei

and I'll see you again for another lesson

si ne vedem data viitoare pentru alta lectie

very, very soon.

foarte foarte curand.
