    Thanks!

    I know how stupid this sounds, but I have trouble using or even remembering software until I know how it’s spelled and pronounced. Same with human names, really. Does this rhyme with the English word “eyes,” or “ice,” or neither? Or does it sound exactly like “breeze?”

      In German, BRISE is exactly sounding like English BREEZE and means the same. I don’t know French, but my translator says BRISE means “BROKEN” in French, and being French, I can only assume you pronounce the first few letters, then make a sound like clearing your throat.

        Broken would be “brisé”, not " brise"

        Brise is either “breaks”, i.e. " he/she breaks", or breeze, as in “a light breeze”.

        Also, it’s prounounced breeze in french. Although the r sound is, well, french.
