Proper pronunciation of Pioneer

[Mike Scarpitti]

What is the proper pronunciation of Pioneer?

I've heard 'Pahy-ah-neer', 'Pie-nur', 'Pay-yo-near', etc.

 

[ayt999]

pa - i - o - ni - a

all short vowels.

Mike, these threads are the type that we tried to get rid of; we all know how to pronounce Pioneer. If you really want to know, how about looking in a dictionary as this is a real word.

Is that the Long Island pronunciation?

I don't know the long island pronounciation, but that is the way it is spelled in katakana....

do you want someone to create a pronounciation guide for you??

 

[terrymx]

"pi-on-near" for me

but when you says it fast it usually ended up sounding like "pon-near"

 

[Kirosia]

I usually say "pie-en-neer" or "pie-in-ear". How do you pronounce "Scarpitti"? (seriously)

 

[MdRex]

Pie-o-near...

 

[myself, aka me]

Act like a noun or pretend you're japanese. Depends on the locale, pointless.

i believe the proper pronunciation is:

pi-oh-knee-arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! stop these thread already!

He does have 2020 post-vision, so I dunno...I would think he's posting clearly.

Oh, for crying out loud! How you pronounce "Pioneer" is the (get this!) EXACT SAME way it is pronounced in real life. I mean, honestly, these types of threads just waste time.
