In this article, we will talk about how to write the word tunnel or tunnel.
In our Russian language, the words “tunnel” and “tunnel” are found equally often and denote almost the same thing. But how to use them correctly? Let's figure it out.
How to write a tunnel or tunnel?
In fact, if you look from the point of view of spelling, then both of these words have a place to be and you can use them. The choice remains only for who writes. But how did such a difference form?
The fact is that different languages \u200b\u200baffect the pronunciation of the presented word - these are English, French and German. For example, the Fasmer dictionary says that the “tunnel” appeared from [tanlars], from English. Moreover, it is a little subjected to French and therefore appeared "l". Accordingly, the stress will be in the last syllable. Therefore, the “tunnel” will be considered the most correct option.
Although, everything is not very simple in the origin of this word. The English Tunnel arose from Tonel, which means "barrel." In French, Tunnel was already taken from English. As for French origin, it turned out to be the final option - the “tunnel” and it has changed a little from Tonneau.
From this we can conclude that the “tunnel” form will be historically more correct, and in fact, the “tunnel” will be. Everything that cannot be argued with exactly - “NN” at the end.
