mimxmom Posted April 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just wondering the correct pronunciation of Alchemy. Is the accent on the first part of the word (AL) or the middle (chem)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7upp Posted April 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The emphasis is on the AL syllable. AL-kem-me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillychicky Posted April 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've heard it Al-cuh-me with emphasis on the AL when American's are speaking. I've heard it al-CHEM-me when British have said it. Not sure if it's a cultural difference or what but I say it with emphasis on the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvetwater Posted April 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 18, 2015 This Brit (and her friends) say: Al- cem - me (/ˈæl.kə.mi/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted April 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The appropriate pronunciation is ˈæl.kə.mi Here is a copy to a link of Cambridge Dictionary with both UK and US pronunciation with sound. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/british/alchemy .

2Ports Posted April 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've heard it Al-cuh-me with emphasis on the AL when American's are speaking. I've heard it al-CHEM-me when British have said it. Not sure if it's a cultural difference or what but I say it with emphasis on the AL. The Brits don't know how to speak proper English! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roscoe13 Posted April 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I believe the phonetic pronunciation is: Mar-tee-ne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtytwo Posted April 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 19, 2015 How to say it is certainly less important than how you get to it on the ship!! :D Everything we say in Mississippi sounds funny, so "another one" is all I need to learn to say!
