French here, we say Paris.

You’re welcome guys, call me anytime for more French pronunciation.

this makes me wonder if deaf people who read the captions on TV understand accents/pronunciation or if they just smile-and-nod

Ah, the city everyone in France hates

Signed: Bordeaux

Adding signature from Nantes

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

It'll be quicker to round up the cities that won't sign... Paris. That's it that's the list.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago

I thought it was the Parisians you hated rather than the city.

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 15 points 2 months ago

It's actually pronounced Pah-Wraith

I also feel that way when I properly pronounce Mon'rree-all

Even that n is suspect. Surprise French silent letters be like

Moh-reh-aal

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is more like it

We don’t say the N or the T

  • Canadian

Mor re al is how I would write it but yours is probably better for pronouncing

[-] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

tbh, the n isn't silent in french, it serves to make the /ɔ̃/ sound (it's kind of a nasally O) with the "on" digraph

(adressed at anyone reading) btw, does the /ɔ̃/ sound even exist in english? i can't find any example of it...

[-] sibannac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I feel dirty pronouncing De-twah

[-] bitMasque@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It's more like mon-ray-ahl.

[-] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

pro tip: make no one happy by pronouncing it "mount-reel"

[-] helvetpuli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

When I'm speaking English I pronounce it Paris.

Lorsque je parle français je le prononce Paris.

[-] VirgilMastercard@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

Do you think Justin Bieber sprays his DNA all over the ladies when he's in Paris, France?

[-] nul9o9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

This will always come into mind when I here pah-ree France lol.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

I try to roll my r's.
But it always comes out like a gutteral r instead, like I'm choking on it.

Pa 💦gh💦 ee
