I don’t think you understand the concept of syllables.

Definitely 3, but I say it more like bury than bear-y.

It’s stressing me out trying to figure out how one would do that.

I don't really see how anyone could pronounce it in one...even two I would think would be more like "Straw-bree"

So yeah, I pronounce it with 3 syllables...I'm from all over--early childhood in Massachusetts, teen/early adult years in California, have lived in the DMV since I was 31 (46 now.)

I say strawbry, because I'm British. Same with all berries.

Two - D.C.


It seems like people either say or fall into the camps of -

“Strawberry” fast and making it all as one, often with the leaning on berry sounding more like the word ‘bury’
“Straw-berry” turning it to two
“Straw-ber-ry”making it into three, again I often can hear ‘bury’ vs. ‘berry’
