"Rendezvous" almost every time I read it, I mispronounce it... Think I'd learn

Most Americans mispronounce it.

I like ron-day-voo better than whatever this is.

Pronouncing foreign words as if you were speaking that language is grating

If you can say Honcho, you can say Hōndezvous. 😄

I don’t even know what that is or how it’s supposed to sound

Mike Honcho

But are you saying Honcho right?

Other than the French R, you basically are and I would make fun of anybody using a French R unless speaking French

10/15/20 7:48am

It's not a mispronunciation in America if most people say it that way

Yeah. Why is French word even in the English dictionary?

It's now an English word with a french origin.

10/15/20 7:58am

French orgin but not the same word. Its a different language.

So..."Nicaragua" = "Nee-kay-RAH-wah," then?

PGVikingDad

Not ‘kay’. More like like “cah”

Cougarclaw

Not “wah” either.

Lesson: Shouldn't try to pronounce foreign words like a native speaker.

PGVikingDad

10/15/20 8:37am

That actually depends on which spanish accent you're using

Cougarclaw

10/15/20 8:44am

How about “epitome”?

Every language bends foreign words to conform, sometimes hilariously.

Japanese does things like that, too.
