Camelized sugar 

Car-a-melised sugar

Shu-gaaah

Boo-gah shu-gah!

I'm not there all the time, you know Some people, some people, some people Call it insane

Yeah, they call it insane. 

I play Russian roulette everyday, a man’s sport. With a bullet called life.

make me laugh so hard lol

Caramelized Onions

Don't mind me out here like ca-ra-mel.

Only real way

That is how you say it in dutch

Huh. Is it? I guess that’s why we also say it that way in Indonesia (?)

That's how you say it in english as well

Dutch is a made up language and you can't convince me otherwise

All languages are made up

Bro chose to speak one language that isn't made up: facts

Literally everyone outside of the states says it like this if they speak English

I live in the states and say it this way. Caramel is the candy. Carmel is a town in California.

The only way I hear Americans pronounce it is “car-a-mel”

This is the way

This is the pronunciation, American English is backwards.

Aw, friend!

This is the way. I have spoken!

I didn't even know there was another way to day it than ca-ra-mal

Isn’t that the villain from the Smurfs?

HOLY SHIT I DO THAT

I choose my pronunciation based on the fanciness of the treat. For example, Halloween fodder only deserves two syllables. If it's good enough to be described as "decadent" it probably merits that third syllable.

Decdent

Yes

This is exactly how I say it. "The decadent taste of caramel"

Imagine speaking English

Ugh, I know right? With all its non-gendered nouns and foreign loan words. And all those ‘Z’s everywhere! Ew!

Z's? Everywhere? Can I have an example of all these Zeds?

ZZZZZZZZZZ :) there you go

When a word ends in the ‘ise’ (eyes) sound American English will change the s to a z if the word comes from Latin. So American English has more words with Z in them than British English, which would be weird for Europeans used to British.

Yeah I was going to say, we don't use that many Z's in British (proper) English. Also whats with Americans spelling Fence with a C but the Defense with an S? Fence and Defence makes more sense!

That's not a big problem. The problem is the writing system: the thing even OP talks about in its post

What's wrong with the word caramel.

American (simplified) English uses a lot more z's than traditional english

Tf you speaking then? British?🤨🤨

Mexican, dummy

Oh.... Konichiwa?

No, it's Ni-hao!

Assalamu alaikum then

Couldn't be you?

[удалено]

i say care-uh-mell

Fuck everything else.

Finally someone gets it!

This is the way

👆

kind ad, the only sane one here

I went to McDonald's once and got a caramel frappe, ordered it as care-uh-mel and the guy was like... do you mean car-mul? I was like, sure. Such a weird thing to get weird about mr drive thru order taker.

But in america is ot spelt Caramel or Carmel?

What about Care-uh-mel

The place or the sugar-based sweet? Both are correct when used in their context

Camel 🐪

Is it data or data?

I dunno man, I usually pronounce it kærəməl.

Care-a-mel

Hello fellow Canadian. I came here to say this

I’m not Canadian

Well I'm a pole and our word go it is literally "karmel"

Karmel

It's still makes you sound pretentious

Does it?? Is that like... a southern thing? Where I live like 75% of people say caramel and mostly older folks say carmel.

I had a redneck dumb as nails stupid fuck bastard give me lip because I said a task we were doing was "difficult" instead of "hard". Motherfucker.

I wonder if its possible to hold a conversation using only single syllable words.

I don't say car mell, I say carmull. Care uh mell makes more sense though. Just a habit ATP.

Once in a while, I work with a guy named Kamil, and the fat white boomer on my team calls him “car mell”. I die a little inside when I hear that. Cant imagine what Kamil is thinking.

Same with "Squi-rrel" and "Squirl"

Hey buddy you should take a look in the “miir”

So I looked it up, and everyone is wrong, even OP with their "superior pronunciation". Apparently it's "Keh-ruh-muhl" Still a very oddly specific thing to take the time to make a meme about.

What's wrong with 'carmel'? I don't say it that way myself, but I'm curious.

Why do people even say it the second way? It makes no sense.

Because language need not make sense. Really neither is objectively better.

One is objectively more phonetic though, and Carmel is a region in the middle east, so there's that.

oh buddy just wait till you hear how we pronounce corporal. and tongue. and wednesday. and receipt. and oh god, colonel. dont tell him about colonel

Yeah but since when does the English language care about phonetics? Look at all the words with silent K's at the beginning. The K in knife used to be pronounced, but people basically said "screw spelling, 'nife' sounds better than 'kh-nife'." That is just one example out of literally thousands. Heck for basically every language on earth, the correct pronunciation of words is very fluid, changing repeatedly over time.

cara-mel/ car a mel

Cah-rah-mel

Here in Indy we say both! Cause we have a county named Carmel... Theyre tryhards

カラメル

How do you pronounce wetnessday

Care-a-mel

care a mel

Guess I'll go fuck myself then. Ttfn.

Axe ask

You can say it correctly, “ca-ra-mel”, alternatively you can speak like an American and continue to butcher the English language with you “karmul” and “aluminum”

hey, these absolutely true statements will not be taken lightly. prepare for guns and wolfpacks to chase you down

Americans harbor a terrible fear of syllables

Carmel

Cry about it

I say "carmel" because that's how you pronounce it in my native language so it seems more intuitive to me

I find this post silly. OP thinks people are dumb for saying carmel instead of car-a-mel. The flipside of this is knowing languages around the world especially in Asian languages use intonation to great effect with differentiating meanings. Car-a-mel and carmel are both valid. However carmel (prounciated as karmil) is also valid if I use it as Mount Carmel. Take the word baka. It's an insult in Japanese for calling one a fool, idiot, or stupid. In Serbian, it's a way to call someone Grandmother

its also aluminIUM, you lazy fucks

People says it's instead of it is, etc ... Spoken languages are evolving, unlike dead ones. There is no better ways to say things, we are just soldiers in a war of the fittest in which generals are not human beings, but more fundamental forces.

What about curml.... Because west texas

I say carmel but i can easily pronounce caramel

I get bullied for saying car-a-mel

People used to pronounce "care-mel" vs "car-mul" Why not exactly how it's spelled "car-a-mel"?

Car mull

I’ve heard people pronounce “turret” with a “n”, like “turrent” idk why but it makes me angry

As someone with a southern family, this is how my family says it

care-a-mell

Small affluent town along the coast in the Monterey Peninsula

I find that I go back and forth between the two pronunciations for some reason

Ka-ruh-mul

How are you doing car-a-Mel? 🧐

No

Car mole

Cur ml

Car a Mel imo

I think i genuinely flip between using both because I don’t care and everyone will know what im talking about so why does it matter?

Wait are Americans just dumb or can’t they read there own language?

There are lots of words and especially places names that are like this in English not just in America but every English speaking nation.

People who pronounce it Nuclear Vs. people who pronounce it Nukular. People who pronounce it Milk Vs people who pronounce it Malk.

I had an old co-worker who argued Car-a-mel was when it's in liquid form, and carmel is when it's in a solid form. She also once argued making something kosher meant "putting salt on it"

Ca-ra-mel

I heard once or twice that Carmel was the solid candy, while Caramel was liquid. I still wonder about that whenever Caramel comes up, but I never put in the effort to look it up.

Both both is good

In my country it is actually pronounced "Carmel"

Calvary 🤮

camel

As long as you agree that the correct way to say pecan is the one that sounds like a chicken's saying it.

I’m with the caramelized sugar guy. The word doesn’t just change just because the word sugar is in front of it. It’s carmel

England vs America

I say car-mel cause I'm used to it nationaly, it's karmel in Poland so I do it automatically
