Depends on who you're talking to, what you're talking about, and how fast you're talking.

Fast = 3 syllables (or 1 for superfast).

Slow = 4 syllables


Frankly, I don't have the fucking time for 4 syllable interestings.

 

[swole]

Twenty posts and no one's consulted a dictionary, lol.

 

[heatherrae]

in·ter·est·ing in-ter-uh-sting, -truh-sting, -tuh-res-ting. All are correct. I think that midwesterners usually say in-ter-uh-sting, southerners say in-truh-sting. I don't don't know about the rest of us...lol. I say in-tuh-res-ting.

 

[Mavafanculo]

brooklynese = Intristin.
