I was always of the YOGGurt persuasion but having lived in North America a while now, I find myself saying YOgurt more. My alliances will always be with YOGGurt though I think. Deep down, you know? :) My country of origin is SCOTTISHLAND.
But when I was little I pronounced it YOGG-urt because I spoke with a British accent until my American friends Americanized me.
And because it was so stinkin' cute, I'll tell you my daughter used to call it "my gurt" when she was about two because she thought I was saying "your gurt." And I still tease her about it to this day.
Yeah, exactly. If they make it with sugar, it's way too sweet. If they make it with fake sugar, it's way too sweet AND it has a disgusting aftertaste. There's no winning with yogurt. I'd rather have cottage cheese.
B - Heh. I think the other meaning of thong has become too universal, at least among younger Aussies. I still laugh whenever anyone here says "fanny" though, because here it means your bottom.

yo-gurt. US/PA
I pronounce it correctly. I'm American!
Yo-gurt.
USA! USA! USA!
I've never actually heard anyone say "yogg-urt". Must be only those backwards countries :p
Yo-yo-yo-gurt! USA!
Yo-gurt, of course.
U-S-A!
U-S-A!
U-S-A!
yo-GURT - USA - Midwest
I live in Colorado in the USA. We call it Yo-Gert.
Now then, is it A-lew-min-um, or Al-u-min-ium?
The latter. USA.
Yo - gurt.
Texas, where almost every word is multi-syllabic.
yoggutt, of course. Only un-English foreigners pronounce it otherwise.
See the Etymology and spelling section in Wikipedia for more information.
I love how the US Americans turned this into a chanting opportunity.
The thing is, I can't remember how Aussies usually said it, since I've been here so long.
I enjoy that two commenters asserted their pronunciation was the correct one, despite, I suspect, being different!
haha I would LOVE to hear someone say yoggurt!
Yo-Gurt usa/ny
I'm almost positive I've seen british people spell it different?
Yo-gurt/USA. But I also call it "nasty." :D
Mr C - Some crazy people spell it yogurt or even yoghourt. But they are wrong.
Well Fed - Haha, surely it depends on the yoghurt? US yoghurt is usually a bit like candy.
Yess that's it, yoghurt! I'm not refined enough to spell it that way yet.
I pronounce it "Dis-gust-ing" but Yo-gurt is how my wife says it. Texas.
Mr C - Pshaw, you are plenty refined ; )
Trinity - Aw, don't hate on the yoghurt!
Go-gurt, personally, but I'm partial to that Rabbit from Trix....
YO-gurt. West Coast, USA.
But when I was little I pronounced it YOGG-urt because I spoke with a British accent until my American friends Americanized me.
And because it was so stinkin' cute, I'll tell you my daughter used to call it "my gurt" when she was about two because she thought I was saying "your gurt." And I still tease her about it to this day.
My gurt.
*snicker*
Yeah, exactly. If they make it with sugar, it's way too sweet. If they make it with fake sugar, it's way too sweet AND it has a disgusting aftertaste. There's no winning with yogurt. I'd rather have cottage cheese.
Addy's Daddy - Hi! You kids with your convenient mobile yoghurt! *shakes head in curmudgeonly fashion*
Cora - Hahaha, that is adorable. My nephew used to call birthday cake just "birthday". Well, it is the most important art of the birthday!
WellFed - Heh. You had me until you started talking about cottage cheese *blech* but that's healthier than mascarpone, which I would choose!
I'm Australian but I say yo-gurt. . . then again I call thongs flip-flops but mum stays mum;)
B - Heh. I think the other meaning of thong has become too universal, at least among younger Aussies. I still laugh whenever anyone here says "fanny" though, because here it means your bottom.
Haha a couple weeks ago in a store this little girl was throwing a tantrum and her grandma told her she would spank her fanny!
Mr C - Ouch! I would have been giggling like a twelve year old if I was there!
yo-gurt. united states.
Australia. And I proudly say "yo-gurt".
My dad says "yoggurt", but I always thought is sounded a bit elitist. "Yo-gurt" is a bit more street.
ES - Thanks, I am pretty street myself! Yay, another Aussie!
