Thermo meter Thermometer

Me: They are the same picture

Seriously though i did not understand which one I am pronouncing. I would usually read thermo meter and thermometer the same. When I try to differentiate by trying to make it sound together, or by trying to make more detatched, i just can't and end up pronouncing the same

Ok. In English it's pronounced third-MOM-meet-her.

In Spanish as well. Ter-MO-metro

That's just an Irish accent.

Edit: Except those last two letters. That's so out there I didn't even register it.
