Was at the shops and overheard a discussion in which a lady kept pronouncing tempura as temp-YOU-ra. With the emphasis on the middle syllable.
Almost ruined my day
I was going to reply to this with my pronunciation, but then it just looked ridiculous written down and now I don't know what to say
Tem-poo-rah is how ive always heard it. From Japanese speaking people too
Does kind of look ridiculous
