How do you pronounce lido?

[etoile]

I realize this might have been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread about it! I have heard different pronunciations for the word "lido" as in Lido Deck, and I am wondering which is most common.

[Go-Bucks!]

I've never heard it pronounced any other way but "Lee-do".

[chasetf]

I've never heard it pronounced any other way but "Lee-do".

Me too. ;) Never have heard any other way. Maybe some other languages might think it different.

[paul929207]

Me, too. Lee-do. I thought this was a trip question.

I'd say it should be Lee - dough. I don't know about anyone else, but where I come from, do is pronounced doo.

Thanks Phoenix..I'm with you.:)

You're correct. I voted for the 1st one, but you are correct.

 

When you check in, they hand you the deck plan and tell you lunch is being served on the Lee-Dough Deck!

Lido comes from Italian. It is an area near Venice. Being Italian, the "Li" part is pronounced like "Lee" and the "do" part is pronounced like the English "dough" or the muscial note "do" (as in do, re, mi, fa, etc).

As in the 'Lido Shuffle' (Boz Scaggs)...:)

I am starting to think that LYE-do is a British pronunciation, like SHED-ule instead of SKED-ule. Can any UK folks confirm or deny this? :)

Double post

Love that song! I'll have to find my CD because it's now stuck in my head; can't understand a word of it, though, other than "Lido, woaoaoaoa", making it very hard to sing along. What is the Lido Shuffle, anyway? Sorry this is so off topic but could not resist.

 

Hope this isn't a double post because my computer did something strange when I tried the first time.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Have always pronounced Lido - lee-do

I'm with you on this one, therefore voter for other- never heard it called anything other than lee-dough:eek:

[cruise kitty]

Lee-doe (as in female deer) that's how they said it on "Love Boat" lol

[Go-Bucks!]

When I voted and commented for "lee-do", I didn't mean that the "do" was pronounced like the verb "to do", but rather like the word "dough." That's how I've always heard it - LEE-DOUGH.

 

Maybe other languages would pronounce it differently, but in many languages the letter "i" is pronounced like a long e in English - not like our short i sound.

[cruiserbryce]

I even tried saying it other ways and it just sounds odd...Lee-dough is the only way I have ever heard it...

[etoile]

I didn't specify "dough" because that wasn't the part I was focusing on. I assume we all pronounce it "dough" - I've never heard it pronounced any other way. I have heard differences for the first syllable though, which is why I asked about that part.

 

Kind of like why I didn't say "SKED-yoo-ull" - I figured people knew how to pronounce the second part.

 

There shouldn't have been any question about how the "do" was pronounced. :)

This reminds me of the discussion a few years ago when HAL came out with the Zuiderdam LOL.

Love that song! I'll have to find my CD because it's now stuck in my head;

Lee-doh. sounds right.

Enjoy the lyrics...

 

Lido missed the boat that day he left the shack

But that was all he missed and he ain't comin' back

A tombstone bar in a jukejoint car, he made a stop

Just long enough to grab a handle off the top

Next stop Chi town, Lido put the money down and let it roll

 

He said one more job ought to get it

One last shot 'fore we quit it

One more for the road

 

{Refrain}

Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh

He's for the money, he's for the show

Lido's waitin' for the go

Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh

He said one more job ought to get it

One last shot 'fore we quit it

One more for the road

 

Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun, until he got the note

Sayin' toe the line or blow, and that was all she wrote

He be makin' like a beeline, headin' for the borderline

Goin' for broke

 

Sayin' one more hit ought to do it

This joint ain't nothin' to it

One more for the road

 

{Refrain}

I'm with Phoenix on this one too. Lee-dough

[GeckoGirl]

LMAO - that was my first thought too, I think that is the first place I ever heard it was on the Love Boat.

Perhaps you did not read my explanation. I will paste it for you.
