Question of pronunciation

[DominusTecum]

How do you pronounce "Tridentine?"

 

I always say Try-den-teen. However, I was listening to EWTN several months ago, and they had a nicely liberal British priest on there discussing Cardinal Newman. In the process, he addressed the "old mass," and called it the "trih-den-tine" mass. Now I'm wondering which way is correct. For some reason I've been wanting to use the latter pronunciation lately, even when I am somewhat sure that "my" way is correct. Btw: the italics indicate the emphasis.

 

Yes, I know it's not properly called the Tridentine, and ought to be called the "Traditional Latin Mass," or "TLM," but sometimes it's necessary to use the former term.

My girlfriend, who is (and natively speaks) Italian and who has studied various forms of Latin, also pronounces it, Trih-dent-teen.  

Most Americans, I think, just tend to things our own way.    

[DominusTecum]

So she "crosses" the two? the "trih" of the british method and the "teen" of the American?

[Avalonik]

Right.  Well, I suppose you could look at it like that.

She's a purist in all things, and therefore (I imagine) simply pronounces it the way she was taught -by Italian nuns.

I pronounce it TRIH-den-TEEN, for what it's worth.
