How do pronounce this word? "prestigious"

Posted by secretslacker Jan 1 '09, 08:28

I always thought it was with the two "i"s pronounced like "tip" or "bit"... but I sometimes hear people pronounce the first "i" like "ee" and a harder syllable accent.

Pres-Tee-Jus is the more common I think. Pres-Tij-Us is not uncommon. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 1, 08:36 1

I pronounce it with the "ee" sound for the first "i" and I don't pronounce the second "i." -- nm - krusty Jan 1, 08:31
