Are you looking to learn how to correctly pronounce Thursday? Pronouncing this day of the week is simpler than it looks! Here's how to say it correctly:
Start by breaking the word into two syllables:
Thurs-day
The first syllable, "Thurs," has two distinct sounds: the "th" sound, which is aspirated, and the "urs" sound. The "th" sound is made by pressing your tongue against the top of your mouth. Your tongue should rest against the back of your top teeth, and your lips should be slightly parted. As you make this sound, a small puff of air should be released. The "urs" sound is made by rounding your lips and pushing the air out.
The second syllable, "day," is pronounced like the word "dae," with a short "a" sound. Put your lips in an "oo" shape and open your mouth slightly. Then, release the air with a short exhalation.
Now, put it all together. Say "Thurs-day" with a slight emphasis on the first syllable.
So there you have it! Now you know how to correctly pronounce Thursday.
