I pronounce it "car-no-buh", whose sound was not offered in the poll.
(car-know-buh), (car-noe-buh).

Really?

This thread is proof that we have completely run out of things to talk about!

My thoughts exactly.

The Australian way of cause.

To practice getting the accent right, try saying G'day Mate three times over...

No, not Good - day, it's G'day.

...

Okay, right, umm, try Gud - ay

...

Hmm... okay try again, but don't finish pronoucing the y in d - ay.

Better!

Now try saying CAAR - NOOOBA -- with a nasal accent on the AA and OO.

See? Easy!!

I've always heard NOOBA. My dictionary says has the same pronounciation(sp?).
One time at an advance store I heard a guy pronounce it "car.uh.nawba". Didn't sound right.
