calscot 0 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Can someone give a definitive pronunciation? I read that it was pronounced "the French way" but have since heard about 4 different versions from commentators. I've heard (with the capital being the stressed syllable): TavernEEr - like pioneer TavernEr - like traveller but with the stress on the final syllable TavErni-er - like derrière but with the stress on the second syllable TavErni-ay - what you'd expect in French, dropping the final consonant So which is it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

les186 271 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 According to Tom Miller of RTV, it's the pioneer sound. That's apparently what Tavernier himself said in an interview according to BBC Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 TavErni-ay - what you'd expect in French, dropping the final consonant This is the way that feels natural to pronounce it for me, so I'm sticking to that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
