minus-squaretigeruppercut@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up4·13 hours agoThe French é is very close to the vowel sound in “say” in English.
minus-squaremassive_bereavement@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 hours agoMy point it is an “é”, not “ay”, though my french pronunciation is a mixture of Creole and poorly remembered high school French, so who’s to sé. Anyhow I always feel that there’s one combination in this game that is the least plausible of them all.
minus-squareAcamon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·15 hours agoYeah, thought that was weak. spoiler I checked the dictionary and both are acceptable apparently, but I’ve definitely heard the ‘sack’ pronunciation more than they ‘say’.
