Tuhn-dra



I usually catch myself saying it the first way in my head

I pronounce Tundra as "tuhn-dra" because it's an actual word. A tundra is frozen arctic region without trees, which is why the dragon is named that!

Tuhn-dra like....like a Tundra.

They named themself after thier home or Icewarden was very uncreativ at that day.

I say it the first way because I'm not a native English speaker and we pronounce it like that here *throws glitter*

i pronounce it "fluffy boy"

in my own language the word tundra, as in that icy area stuff, is pronounced toondra , so i call the breed that too

So I googled this and the word tundra is actually a spelling of the Russian word. Which they pronounce "toondra".

Tundra is the word spelled out in different lettering and can be pronounced multiple ways based on where you're from. Just want to clear this up as a fellow English speaker myself who was a bit confused. There is technically two different pronunciations. People know it's a word.

As for myself I call them "tuhndra" but now have a headcanon that tundra native to the Southern Icefield call themselves "toondra".

I just... pronounce it Tun-dra. English is not my mother tongue, and I got a strange dialect for my mother tongue. :^)
