Nevada, for like the first time ever, is in the news!

But the real question is how is it pronounced?

Nev-awww-da or Nev-ehhh-da

like is one bougie and one is just there ???

It’s Nev-aww-duh, right?

I've always said Nev-ehhh-da, as have people I've known/been around

edit: to clarify I meant like neh-vad-ahh but I was choosing one of the two choices mentioned that matched what I meant closely

Nev-AAAAAAAA-duh

Nev-aah-duh

I am Canadian so. Take that with a grain of salt

i've...... never heard anyone say nev-ei-da

p sure it's nev-AH-da, as in apple?

[center][size=2]As a native Nevadan, we pronounce it "Nev-AH (short a?)-duh" I suck at doing these things so here's a blurb when I looked it up >> [quote]Visiting Nevada? Don't call it “Nev-AH-da,” or you'll be in trouble. Unless one legislator has his way. Apparently, the only acceptable pronunciation of the state is “Nev-AD-a,” not “Nev-AH-da.”[/quote] [size=2]I've noticed the only people who say "Nev-AWW-da" are from central/eastern USA, and then non-native English speakers. However, I believe the true way to say it in Spanish is "Nev-AWW (AHH, which ever)-da" EDIT: Another good one is "Ne-VAH-da(duh)" or "Ne-VAD-a(uh)" As I said above, Nevadan's call it "Ne-VAD-a(uh)" and I believe most of the Western US. (Haven't met many people from the north, so idk how they pronounce it >>) [s]I hate trying to spell when I sick and tired GRR[/s]

ive always said nevada with the middle a pronounced like the a in apple
