Back in the day, the word referred to several important religious celebrations throughout the year, so it was an umbrella term. Marriage was only one of them. Somehow, however,\u00a0<em>Hochzeit\u00a0<\/em>also came to be known simply as the sub-term of a wedding. The theory goes that in order to keep a difference between these two. The second meaning, with the long\u00a0<em>o<\/em>, remained, because it is not directly related to the celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>However, what is the &#8220;correct&#8221; pronunciation? That is a legitimate question. Only because we are used to\u00a0<em>hoch\u00a0<\/em>being pronounced with a long\u00a0<em>o<\/em> doesn&#8217;t make it the correct way to pronounce it. Compare that with other words that end with two consonants, such as\u00a0<em>Hocker<\/em>, which also has a short\u00a0<em>o<\/em>. Also, there are many words with a short\u00a0<em>o<\/em>, such as\u00a0<em>Loch<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Koch<\/em>,\u00a0<em>doch<\/em>. Curious again is the long\u00a0<em>o\u00a0<\/em>in the place name\u00a0<em>Bochum<\/em>. Why is it long there? But so really,\u00a0<em>hoch<\/em> with a long\u00a0<em>o\u00a0<\/em>has quite a unique position. And still\u00a0<em>Hochzeit\u00a0<\/em>is the only word where\u00a0<em>hoch\u00a0<\/em>is pronounced with a short\u00a0<em>o<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The strange ways that language goes sometimes is hard to explain, and often follows no particular logic. And that makes it so interesting!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there curious words you would like to have an explanation for?
