First time in my 67 years I've heard agate pronounced with a long A in the second syllable. Is that how the locals pronounce it? In the jewelry and stone cutting business for jewelry it's pronounced with both A's short. But then is it basil or basil or tomato or tomato? 🤗
Haha, love that you knew the boat! We only had a short time to fly the drone, per the town rules, so we were lucky the boat was going out to sea to capture a sweet shot.
I just moved to Newport, from Erie County PA, on Oct. 12 '23. Yaquina is pronounced yuh-kee-nuh. Crabbing... Only the males can be kept. Agate... The second a is long. The e at the end is pronounced similarly to the pronunciation of agave, more like... eh. I've been to the aquarium, but one area was closed for construction. Just 'sounding out' spellings into words isn't always the correct pronunciation, however... there are pronunciations that make absolutely no sense.
We kind of assumed it was pronounced Ya Keen ah, but we were in the visitors center there and in an informational video was pronouncing it the way you heard us say in the video. But it’s become funny that like %50 of our UA-cam comments are people correcting our pronunciation. We’re trying!
Unfortunately... While informational videos are useful, helpful, they're also computer generated - way too often. Computer programs are not always created as well as they should be. If you want something pronounced correctly then you have to edit the wording to spell certain words differently. This editing isn't even done when there is excessive content or someone is just too lazy to do it or just doesn't care.
Newport is one of my favorite Oregon Coast beaches.
Yeah it’s great! Got a little bit of everything

Oops! I appears your right. We try to get pronunciation right on everything, but this one slipped through the cracks🤭

lol my hometown 🙂
Y'all did my hometown right! I visit there about once every other month from Portland. Growing up in Newport was a trip.
Thanks! Glad we did it justice. Definitely one of our favorite places on the coast.
