  Randevu

  interestingly, thats what the turkish word for rendezvous is.

  in turkish, words are written exactly as theyre pronounced at all times.

  just a funny sidenote :3

    Oh they are so smart, just like I don’t know, most countries in the world that don’t prefer imperial units and imperial era spelling

    (The sarcasm is not directed to turkish though 😁)

    • ulterno@lemmy.kde.social ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Now even that sounds correct.

  In French words spelled with just “u” use a different sound than those spelled with “ou”

  I’ll grant you the ‘s’ but it’s still more or less pronounced like it’s spelled. You can replace ‘ou’ with ‘u’ but it still sounds right with ‘ou’.

  English pronunciation in general is fucked up lol. You can never really tell how an ‘e’ or an ‘a’ will be voiced 🤣

• onion@feddit.de ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  ‘a’ is not pronounced like ‘en’ in french

  I think it could be spelled rendévou though

• Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  E should definitely be an A or even an O. Shouldn’t really have an E.

  Rän-di-vü

  TIL the pural for Rendezvous is Rendezvous. You just pronounce the S
