Dear ALUpers

what is the correct pronunciation of ftoor?
is it fitoor or fatoor or futoor?

Thanks,

Bhavana Jii, aadaab.

The answer to your question is "futoor".

Thanks very much. There is a new album in the market singer Mohit
Chauhan called Fitoor :)

For that matter, there is a recent film song by Sukhwinder (written by
Gulzar) where the word is pronounced a fatoor.

Moral of the story: don't use the pronunciations and spellings
practiced by modern Hindi/Urdu *film* (or other) singers as a
touchstone.
