Language Log: Heated words about “sauna”
Wow… Frazz, one of my all-time favorite comicstrips (I am not such as avid junky as my brother and father) makes the big-time in the Language Log! Okay, so I enjoy the language log for their defense of freedom of speech AND their defense of speech…
But this one, well, it “da bomb.”
So, how do YOU pronounce Sauna?

SAW-na…lol… its very interesting… i mean so many of our words come from other languages. So we change and others we do not. I think its all a matter a preference and nothing to get soo upset about. so people say things differently, no biggy… But an interesting comic anyways…
saw-NA? I’d have try to say it naturally in a sentance like “I’m going to go rest in the sauna for awhile, wanna join me?”
I’m likeing Wendy’s idea…. er, pronounciation. *blink*
