How do you pronounce lychee?
It comes up enough for me, in that it’s my go-to bubble tea flavor, and it’s often in a dessert I’m ordering. Forever, my go-to pronunciation was lee-chee. After hearing enough trusted sources pronounce it the other way, I made the decision to switch. Even though it’s my intention to say lie-chee, I usually forget. Mouth muscle memory takes over.
Have you ever tried to change the way you pronounce a word mid-life?
Lee chee!! Use the juice leftover in the cans to make cocktails (with gin) or mocktails. Yum.
I dare you to make Lychee coke :)
Leechee, leechee, leechee!!
Trust your muscle memory!
Liechee is just wrong and sounds super snobby to boot🗣️
