I hate trying to say this word. as far as I'm concerned there's no right way to say it. my heart says it should be "CAR-a-mel", my mind says it should be "KARA-mel", and somehow it usually just comes out as some atrocious "kurmil" anomaly that would probably (justifiably) enrage you. how do you say it?
the internet wrote:The word caramel can acceptably be pronounced in several accepted ways, including KARR-uh-mel, KARR-uh-muhl, and, in North American English, KAR-muhl. The disappearance of that second syllable -uh- in the final pronunciation seems to have been in the works for a long time.
KARA-mel or CAR-a-mull
("KARA" sounds like "sarah" fyi)
