So I've been playing off the ASSumption that Bhut is pronounced BOOT, like what a person wears on their feet. Or is it like butt, like..well...you know...butt.

Or I saw another spelling where it was bhot which I would pronounce "boat"

I've always said boot, but I could be wrong.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

It's pronounced boot.

Bhuty would work.

Thai Me Up And Burn My Bhuty

 

[salsalady]

WHEW! I was worried after the "burn my Bhut" post! I figured I'd have to post another (red face) "my bad" post for pronouncing it wrong.

OK~ back to the BHUT~

 

[Masala Mojo]

It's pronounced boot.

Wrong.
It is pronounced as BHOOT.

I'm drunk, so it's a drunk mis-pronunciation. So go ahead, Thai me up and......

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Wrong.
It is pronounced as BHOOT.

I'm not THAT drunk... SAME THING!

 

[salsalady]

ya gotta throw an "h" in the "boot"?

Sorry, NJA, I don't want to get too far off topic, but if I'm pronouncing it wrong, some of my name suggestions will not make sense.

Thanks~

Correct.
It is Bhut/Bhoot jolokia and not Boot Jolokia .
Bhoot/Bhut means Ghost.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I say Booooooooooooooo(t).

 

[salsalady]

now- do we want to get into how to pronounce "jolokia" or should we save that for another thread?

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Jalapeno is the most common pepper and it's pronounced 10 different ways... hal-a, hall-a, peen-o, pain-yo, pain-o, peen-yo etc. I really don't think it matters.

 

[JayT]

I am curious though, how does adding the H change how you say Boot/Bhut? I have also heard people pronounce it Beaut, is that that wrong?

 

[Silver_Surfer]

The h is silent, so I don't see what NJA was after?

You don't pronounce the h in ghost.

 

[Masala Mojo]

The h is silent, so I don't see what NJA was after?

You don't pronounce the h in ghost.

H is not silent. I know what it is called and how to pronounce Bhut/Bhoot.
It is just like my mother tongue.
So BHUT /BHOOT it is and not Boot.

H might be silent in GHOST and you may pronounce it as GOST.
But not so in BHUT/BHOOT.

NJA

 

[salsalady]

so it has a soft "h" like --- "haphazard" --- or "loophole"-------- still looking for a comparable "--bh--" word



edit-
I'm seeing "abhor" and "sambhur"

and several more which I don't know what they are but are spelled-
bhakti
jubhahs
bharal

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I think you vibrate your lips like Bvoot.

 

[salsalady]

----------------


LOL thinking about a tipsy Boss trying to vibrate lips to say - "bvoot"- sorry, just a little further out into left field~~~

Bartender, time for "a-nover" one!



Sorry, Boss, don't ban me!


OK, back on topic...........

NJA, do you have a winning name yet?

 

[Urdoneby]

Oh he has Thai peppers.... ok...

Thai Me Up And Burn My Bhut

Now thats just too funny
