Errr... none of the above?

 

I pronounce it "Teh", a bit like "Terrible" if you were to stop talking after the first 2 letters.

 

Effectively, it becomes "Te' Forum"

Like 'eh', but with a 't' in front of it. So shorter than 'tear' (as in rip) and an more abrupt ending.

 

Sounding more like 'bleh', come to think of it.

In my head it's pronounced like the first half of "Tehran". Out loud it's pronounced "a forum on the internet".

Agreed, it's pronounced how it's spelt.

 

Teh to rhyme with yeah.

But "yeah" doesn't rhyme with what the people the person you're agreeing with agreed with said. Unless you say it in a very fucked up way.

Teh in Tehran and meh are 'uh' sounds. As in "uh?". Not 'eh' sounds as in "eh?" or "yeah".

Although some people pronounce Tehran with the eh sound I guess.

You're from Staffordshire, your opinions on pronunciation don't count.

The, as in the beginning of Theran.

Not because it is blatently misspelt, but because that's how I pronounce teh.
