I went down a rabbit hole today (too long to explain 😂) and found out Monstera is apparently pronounced two different ways. 😳 The way I say it and have only heard it said by friends is: mon-STER-a (like mon-stare-uh) The other way is: MON-ster-a (like monster ahhhhhh! 😂) How do y’all say it?
The first way for me (with a UK midlands accent, if that helps).
2 Likes Everything I read said typically, the first way was British English and the second was American English so that makes sense (per the internet). 😂

First way for me and haven’t heard it pronounced the other way ever lol
2 LikesI had such a hard time pronouncing it because I was over thinking it because I was trying to say it the first way. Then I looked at it and I was like wait it’s literally monster-a but now I saw it the first way…. Because if I saw it the second way I hold the ahhh too long
