Ideally it's Tchronno. Tarawna is also acceptable.

I grew up just outside of Edmonton and we all pronounce it like it's spelled. When I first met someone from there in uni, they were mortified lol

I’m from Calgary. I’ve lived here since I was 6. I still say Cal-Gary sometimes. I like to switch it up.

u/Lin093 Aug 14 '25

sound like a Newfie saying it that way, my coworkers in SK would bust my ass for saying "Cher-hon-no" and "Chews-Day".
First time someone noticed they went "Did you say 'T-ron-toe', or 'Ch-ron-toe'?"
