How do you pronounce it?
/oˈhaɪ̯o/
Did you know?
- Because it is a foreign proper noun, the pronunciation of Ohio in German often shifts the stress to the first syllable, sounding more like 'OH-ee-oh' than the English 'o-HY-oh'.
- While Ohio is a proper noun and does not take an article, Germans often add the word Staat to specify it is a 'state' because Ohio alone could refer to the river.
- While it is a name, it follows the grammatical gender of the implied 'Bundesstaat' (federal state), meaning it is masculine in a German sentence structure.
