How do you pronounce this word?

[dancingirl21]

Promenade.

1. Prom-eh-nod
2. Prom-eh-nade

Brought to you by the Boynton book Barnyard Dance and DH and I pronouncing it differently.

[brooklyn]

Nod

[bowies]

Both are accepted pronunciations. Promenod is a noun and promenade is a verb.

[estrellita]

I don't say it often, but prom-eh-nod. I'm trying to think if I've ever heard it the other way or not!

Wait... I know I'm British but wtf are you all talking about? lol. I'm trying to say prom eh nod in an American accent and I don't get it.

I say prom - en - naaaaard. The end rhymes with hard. The other way to say it rhymes with lemonade. But nod? I don't get it.

Ok that makes more sense. That's how I say it. I guess people from the north of England would say it completely differently but that's another story,

Love it! I'm crap at doing accents. I heard a guy from Alabama last week and nearly asked him to marry me. I love that accent. Especially when they call me ma'am.

This is how I've always used it.  You visit a promenod but do a promenade (if that makes sense).

Isn't it a French word that both Americans and Brits are butchering?

More than likely! Wasn't criticizing either pronunciation, I just couldn't understand the "nod" part.
