I love the Batiks, too!! :D They are truly special in their own way. Glad to know how to pronounce it!!
:D :D :D :D

I have never liked batiks UNLESS they are in the quilt - weird, I know but that's how it is - once they are in the quilt I think they are beautiful - I use them from time to time. And I say - buh-teek (pronunciation)

click this link and then click the red speaker. It will say the word out loud.

I say Bah teek..

I never know how to pronounce it, my cousin always laughs at me! Just now falling in love with it.

\bə-ˈtēk, ˈba-tik\

I ran these by my daughter who has done oodles of linguistics courses and she says that they are two entirely different pronunciations... we all win!

Buh-teak and Baa-tick

Thanks for asking that!

Okay.........how about tomato?? ;)

You are right on it this morning Loretta.

One can always just point at what one wants and totally avoid the pronunciation issue.

I know how to pronounce Chanel no. 5, Mercedes, and trip to New York City. I just cannot afford any of them. :lol:
