Common Mispronunciations of Tahoe
Not TAY-hoh
No long ay belongs at the front of this name. TA holds the same vowel as tap and sits there without lengthening.
Not tuh-HOH
The push sits on the first of the two beats, and the hoh behind it is quieter but keeps its full vowel.
Tip: The name comes from the Washoe word for lake, so Lake Tahoe says lake twice.
