How to pronounce “neighbor”
To start with, let’s clarify the pronunciation of the word “neighbor”:
- neigh: rhymes with “say”
- bor: rhymes with “more”
So, “neighbor” is pronounced as nay-bor.
In some dialects or accents, the “ay” sound may be pronounced closer to an “eh” sound. However, the emphasized syllable remains the same: nay-bor.
Remember, the “gh” at the end of the word is silent and is not pronounced.
