how do you pronounce these 2 words?

Rye-eta
a-lum-ny

Or a least that's how I pronounce them

Rye-ta

and

aloomni.

Thank you. I wasn't confident to order riata and kept saying 'can I have that yogurty dip' - it could have gone wrong.

Oh - difference of opinion over the riata

It's raita isn't it? And I pronounce it as in paperback writer!

I saw al-um-nye, but it's one of those words that has various accepted pronounciations.

Isn't it raita?

And al-um-nye.

Sorry - you may well be right - raita - can say it, can't spell it.

I would say ri- a - ta

and a - lum -ni

ri and ni to rhyme with high

That's exactly the same for me! I had that show on video and watched it to death! I'm giggling like a lunatic now thinking of "The mad king hatching an egg!"?
