"Wort" , how do you pronounce it?

Nial · Mar 22, 2016

I've always presumed it's "wort" , like in "sport".

I read on a British web site it's called "wert", and have seen a few American youtube videos where they call it "wert", but then those crazy guys call solder "sodder" (seriously).

So, how do you pronounce it?

Wert.......but I don't think it really matters.

Indeed, wort does it matter?

Erm yeah, How about Fuggles. as in "he's a proper thug" or "cor fu , what a scorcher". I think i say wert and thug gles most of the time .Only know one other brewer my way and we both pronounce them differently every time .

Tomartoes vs Tom8oes...... It's definately 'wert'.

Be a good sport, let's make some wort! (probably wrong, stupid English language!)

Sport / Wart

Dirt / Wort

God bless the English language.

Troob and not trub too

Bigcol49 · Mar 23, 2016

Hi!
. . . and kroyzen :)

It doesn't matter, but I say it as wart (like sport)... even though I know thats wrong. I also pronounce trub as in scrub, fuggles as in thug-ills, Wyeast as in why-east and Saison ans in Say-zon.

I know fuggle about the correct way to say them but I say Fug-alls and Sayzon like you..

How about cerveza? Ser-Vey-za or Ther-ve-sa

airymary · Mar 23, 2016

I'm confident it's wurt as in squirt, and trub as in scrub

What about niche?

I would (like most normal people I'm sure) say knee-sh but crazy people (usually Americans) say nitch. W T Fudge.

And yeah it's wert.

Aaa'm a Geordie man, so Ah pronoonce ivrything wrang man. Ya bugga....

Godsdog · Mar 23, 2016

Wort as in sport for me, wert as in Bert is a strange pronunciation and probably anti tank as in yank ,lol

BreadMurderer · Mar 23, 2016

Old English wyrt, of Germanic origin

That's from the ol' Google
