Gondola: how do you say it?

I thought I knew how the word "gondola" is pronounced. But maybe not...

As I have heard others doing, I just watched the latest Crystal video update where I again heard it pronounced, "gon-dooool-ah" with the second syllable emphasized and drawn out. Is it more correct or hipper that way rather than than the way I have heard it up until recently? Is it a regional thing?

i believe it's "gond- ooooh-la"

gone-DOLE-a.

Or better yet. Did you ever ride the one at the Seattle Center?

Or the Bubble-ator?

I thought it was "Gonge"-ola.

gone-DOLE-a.

Or better yet.  Did you ever ride the one at the Seattle Center?

Still can. The World's Fair gondola is, I'm almost positive, alive and well at the Puyallup Fair.

Maybe we should ask old Billy Schluct.
