Help[Facts] Re: Lotty Pronunciation
in reply to a message by PrincessZ
I think of Lotty /lɑ.ɾi/ (rhymes with Dotty /dɑ.ɾi/).
What other pronunciation could there be?

Yeah, I wasn't aware that it would be pronounced differently in other English-speaking countries.

For the vowel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4Z5qngn-48
And the t is a t, not a d or an r
She's British, remember!

Yes, that's right,
There's two (that I know of) pronunciations depending on where you live in the UK. I'm not so good with putting together the pronunciation thing as I'm always skeptical if it's going to be read in the same way, but nonetheless I had submitted:
LOT-tea and LOT-teh
The latter being a more northern pronunciation than the former, but both of them are used depending on the circumstances. For example, when us northerners speak, we have a tendency to slur words into each-other or not even finish them (for example, "Nip to the shop" becomes "Nip tuh shop") so LOT-teh is used when you're using it in a sentence whereas LOT-tea is used when you're saying it on it's own.
"What's your name?" "Mah name's LOT-teh"
"What's your name?" "LOT-tea"
This is not to say that LOT-tea cannot be used by a northerner in a sentence or LOT-teh cannot be used without, it just seems to be the general thing (as I have observed)
Of course use of language differs greatly throughout the UK, even just five miles apart so I can only speak from a Manchester perspective
Edit: Though it does technically still rhyme with Dolly as Dolly would be pronounced DOLL-eh lol
