Hello folks!!

I'd like to know what's the correct pronunciation of 'Either' and 'Neither'. My teacher taught me something like either(eider) and neither(neider) but I've seen quite a few times in movies and in tv series the actors saying something like either(aider) and neither(naider), so my question is: which are correct or are both correct?

Check it out

either(iiiider) and neither(niiider) = American English
either(aaaider) and neither(naaaider) = British English

Got it?

I hope that helps!

Yes I got it but in the TV series 'Dexter' that was shot in Miami I've listened to they saying either(aaaider) and neither(naaaider) and so did some natives from San Francisco in a podcast. Then I may conclude that even in the U.S both pronunciations are acceptable.

Thank you Alessandro!

Exactly Pedro.

You got it!

Hi!
I had the same problem.
I didn't know which pronunciation was correct.
I live in Australia, so I asked my teacher in the school and he said that both pronunciation are right.
So, you can just choose which one you want to use.
