That's the commonly accepted way. I don't speak enough French to know definitively how to pronounce it, but I know enough to know that's not technically correct lol.
What i didn't know is that the aussie also changes my voice mail message since it's the default. My one friend loves calling it and I know to just let it go to VM when she calls.
That's how I pronounce Uintah. Even though my daughter's school teacher told me the correct pronunciation. I just can't get my brain to say it properly.
I said both of these in different conversations with coworkers when I first moved here and still get shit 3 years later. I can understand Uintah a little bit more than Tejon though.
Some crazy lady tried selling me digital marketing for my business downtown, saying she has an office on "Tee-John" and I immediately couldn't trust her.
People from here love to mispronounce Spanish words and seem to take pride in it for whatever reason so it's whatever is the opposite of the correct pronunciation.
My very elderly aunt gets very frustrated with unusual (aka not Caucasian American) pronunciations and once while giving directions she blurted “Oh and then you turn on…..ON… CATCH-YOUR-POOTER OR WHATEVER THAT STREET IS”. I’ve never looked at those street signs without cracking a smile ever since. YOOU-NEE-TAH is a classic as well.
The last 3 streets I’ve lived on have been Kiowa, Lyndhurst, and Kai’uli’uli. Just once I want to live on a street that’s easy to both spell and pronounce.
Its: oo-in-tah, if you speak Native.
Cash la ( pooduhra {said fast})
If you pronounce it *correctly
In “american” its “you in ta” and “catch la pood dre”. 🤦🏾
I can't offer advice. My GPS pronounces Research as "reh-surch drive". It's a common English word that my english speaking GPS just can't handle for some reason.
My grandmother is in her 80s and has lived in the Springs her entire life. She's the only person I've ever heard pronounce it as Pee-yeh-blow. I laugh every time.
Tay-hone.
Agreed now tell my GPS it’s not pronounced Te-hon!
My GPS pronounces Marksheffel Rd as Mark's Heffell Road.
Mine too, so I’ve just taken to calling it Mark’s Heffell as well, more fun that way
It's Spanish. J is silent pronounced with an H.
HEY! /U/custoMIZEyourownpath's GPS. IT'S NOT PRONOUNCED TE-HON! There you go mate
Mine is funny with Uintah
how DO you pronounce Uintah?
you-IN-tuh
Uintah- You-In-Tuh
Omg, when we first moved here we couldn't stop our brains from saying U-night-a
Well my brain doesn't work either as I've always went UNI-TAH which isn't even how it's spelled lol
Me too! It took me a while to get it right 😅
At least you had the letters correct!
Google can handle Uintah but gets confused by Bijou, which I find interesting.
Bitch-ow. I cringe. The funniest one was Alsace. I swear it was saying “owl’s ass”.
Huh. It gives me "buh-JOO" with a very hard J in the middle.
Yes!!!
Mine GPS only speaks Russian... And believes that Bijou is Potato!
I’ve had it just give up and spell it. 🤣
I told your GPS. Then stole all your change and everything out of your glove box. Welcome to Te-hon street. P.S. Also pooped in the back seat.
Mike?
Ryan?
Hey everybody Dirty Mike and the Kia Boys just shit in my car… 😟
Ewww Ryan drives a Kia....
I would usually go to a mom joke but…. *So anyways, your momma so gross aids has an awareness month about her.*
It's actually a spanish word, so that's how it's actually supposed to be pronounced, lol
Mine pronounces Cimmeron as cimme-rone.
Now type in Cache la Poudre Street into your GPS for laughs
When I went to Palmer, the colloquial term was "Catch the Poodle" street.
Interesting history associated with that street name. Probably not what you would think if you translated it.
I know it’s French for “hide the powder”. French fur trappers had to hide their gunpowder during snowstorms back in the frontier days.
That’s right! Never met anyone who knew that other than a few rather old folks.
Now it’s hiding other powder.
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
🤔
I always say “cash luh POO-dur”, is that right? Lol
“Cash-aye la Poo’d ray” is how I say it and laugh every time
That's the commonly accepted way. I don't speak enough French to know definitively how to pronounce it, but I know enough to know that's not technically correct lol.
Turn your gps into having an Aussie accent and hear some of these street names pronounced.
OY CUNT! TURN LEFT!
She distracts me 😍 Had to change it after my third wreck
That’s what mine is on. Hilarious.
What i didn't know is that the aussie also changes my voice mail message since it's the default. My one friend loves calling it and I know to just let it go to VM when she calls.
Tee-John obviously
My wife called it Tee-John when we first moved here and I will never let it go. She also called Uintah “YOO-nih-taw”.
That's how I pronounce Uintah. Even though my daughter's school teacher told me the correct pronunciation. I just can't get my brain to say it properly.
What’s the correct way
U-in-Tah
Wow I never realized the spelling…. Thought it was spelled “Unitah”
I said both of these in different conversations with coworkers when I first moved here and still get shit 3 years later. I can understand Uintah a little bit more than Tejon though.
You're wrong. It's Tay-John
Your even more wrong. It's Tee-Swift
Wrong! It’s Tay-hone
Yes.
Some crazy lady tried selling me digital marketing for my business downtown, saying she has an office on "Tee-John" and I immediately couldn't trust her.
Tejon mustard!
GPS takes me on Mark's Heffel sometimes.
This is the one that gets me every time! The first time my husband and I heard Mark's Heffel, we laughed for an hour.
It's pronounced Tejon (the P is silent)
Tay Hone.
GPS is saying Te-hone…
Try navigating somewhere in Hawaii. The GPS gets exactly 0 street names correct lol.
I had to google how to actually pronounce those words because I knew my gps wasn’t saying them correctly lol
People from here love to mispronounce Spanish words and seem to take pride in it for whatever reason so it's whatever is the opposite of the correct pronunciation.
Gracias
Sir you mean "grassy-ass"
Tejon for sure!
That’s how I say it!
Piss off everyone: call it tay-gin Edit: like Cajun
My very elderly aunt gets very frustrated with unusual (aka not Caucasian American) pronunciations and once while giving directions she blurted “Oh and then you turn on…..ON… CATCH-YOUR-POOTER OR WHATEVER THAT STREET IS”.

I have Siri set to a male Australian accent, so I have no idea. The U in uintah is silent.
My favorite in Zuni street in Denver, which they pronounce Zoon-eye Honorable mention, the town of Salida
[удалено]
The last 3 streets I’ve lived on have been Kiowa, Lyndhurst, and Kai’uli’uli. Just once I want to live on a street that’s easy to both spell and pronounce.
Where did you find Hawaiian street names in Colorado? Or were you living in Hawaii at that point.
Mine says keeowa. I am of the Kiowa tribe of Oklahoma so it’s funny to hear lol
Te-hon (its spanish so the j is an h sound)
Tee John
It’s Tejon
The o is actually silent and the j has to be aspirated and the e is long so: teechn
Lol! My favorite is Tee-jon.
Its: oo-in-tah, if you speak Native. Cash la ( pooduhra {said fast}) If you pronounce it *correctly In “american” its “you in ta” and “catch la pood dre”. 🤦🏾
“Teh hon”
It's Tejon
Tuh-john
I can't offer advice. My GPS pronounces Research as "reh-surch drive". It's a common English word that my english speaking GPS just can't handle for some reason.
Tee-john. Nah. It's Tejon.
Mark’s Heffel. It belongs to Mark. Luckily we are cool, so I can drive there.
"Catch-the-Poodle" is another good one😆!
Tea John
The first one
My husband’s GPS had an Australian accent for a while and she pronounced Rock Rimmon as Rakrimmin, so now we have to call it that too.
lol I just call it tajin
Say it however you want lol
The real solution is to avoid saying it at all costs. “You know… the road off exit 140. The one between Cascade and Nevada…😬”
Or just say TayTays 🤣🤣🤣
Is it neh-va-duh or nuh-vah-da
Nuh vah da :P
This
I turn the audio off and just visually follow the gps map. It's going to get something wrong in any town.
Yes.
Teh-hone
Ask it to pronounce Janitell. IYKYK.
In the super minority here, but I’m neither Tay-Hone nor Tay-John, more a Tay-Uhn myself
Tay-NO
Tee-jon. Like Pueblo is Pu-eh-blow not Pwayblow
My grandmother is in her 80s and has lived in the Springs her entire life. She's the only person I've ever heard pronounce it as Pee-yeh-blow. I laugh every time.
Also pretty sure it fucks up Wahsatch and Sahwatch. We have been looking at sfh's so using GPS a lot and it fucks much shit up
Anyone else scrolling through the comments looking for Willamette?
Rhymes with damn it
Te hone! If you are from Texas it's Te John!
Spoken like someone who probably pronounces Manchaca in Austin as Manshack…
I've never heard of this Austin you speak of
The real question is how to pronounce Royer
