Judi Hawkins discusses her experience in Gander, Newfoundland on September 11th

Judi. It's not always cold here in Canada. Our summers get very hot in every province. The nice weather doesn't stop at the US border.....

It’s not always cold in Newfoundland, Canada! God! Don’t feed into that stereotype. We have 4 wonderful seasons in Newfoundland!

Newfinlund????

[@elaineandjohn9599]

That’s how it’s pronounced there, or Newfanland. Like Toronto is pronounced more like Torono or Torona, which the t dropped.

Newfoundlanders pronounce it new-fin-land.

The pronunciation of the word "Newfoundland" has always been troublesome for those who (literally) "Come From Away"; that is, someone who comes to our province from somewhere far away. As a Newfoundlander, may I offer two suggestions to help remember how we pronounce it. First, the cadence of the word is much like the word "understand". Try to remember that the last syllable is pronounced like the last syllable in Disneyland! (You wouldn't say Dis-ney-lund or Dis-ney-lind, would you?) Try rhyming it as "Understand Newfoundland"! So, the pronunciation sounds like "Noof-end-LAND." I hope that helps. 😊
