Randevu.

ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 9 months ago
Now even that sounds correct.
Just how many different pronunciations doe this word have?

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 🤣

‘a’ is not pronounced like ‘en’ in french
I think it could be spelled rendévou though
Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 9 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

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 😁)
