How Do You Pronounce Corgi?

There are a few schools of thought on how to pronounce corgi. The most popular pronunciation seems to be "kawr-gee," with the emphasis on the first syllable. However, some people also pronounce it "kor-gee," with the emphasis on the second syllable. And still others simply say "corgi" without any particular emphasis on either syllable. So which is the correct pronunciation?

The answer may lie in the history of the word itself. The word "corgi" is actually Welsh in origin, and it is thought that the Welsh pronunciation is the most correct one. In Welsh, the word is pronounced "kawr-gee," with the emphasis on the first syllable. So if you want to be technically correct, you would pronounce it the same way in English.

However, the word has been adopted into English, and as with many words that are adopted from other languages, the pronunciation has been simplified. So while "kawr-gee" may be the technically correct pronunciation, "kor-gee" and even just "corgi" are perfectly acceptable in English.

So there you have it. Whether you pronounce it "kawr-gee," "kor-gee," or simply "corgi," you're probably pronouncing it just fine.
