Strwbry. Try saying it without moving your upper lip and youll hear it.
Im from all over the South and use 3- straw bear-ry.
I use the British pronunciation for advertisement, privacy, neither, either, vitamin, niche, etc. It makes more sense phonetically.
It also makes you sound pretentious as hell if you have an American/southern accent.

In English, there is zero way you can say “strawberry” with one syllable. Two is very British, three is very American. One is an impossibility.

“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

I think, perhaps, you do not know what a syllable is.
Agreed. OP, can I gently suggest that what you're asking is which syllable you place emphasis on?

It's either the two-syllable "straw-brie" or three syllable "straw-bear-eee"/"straw-burr-eee." No way to say it in one.

3; grew up in Palo Alto, CA
And my mom, who grew up in London, also was a 3-syllable person
The difference is that I (and my sisters) say straw-bear-y and my mom said straw-bury

Not sure that counts.
