I mean, it's pronounced like it's spelled except for the Z.

And the 'S'. And to be fair, the 'OU' could have just been a 'U'. Also, the 'E' could have been an 'A'.

Randevu.

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 😁)

Now even that sounds correct.

Just how many different pronunciations doe this word have?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Its not pronounced randevou though, more like ron-day-voo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

In French, words spelled with just "u" use a different sound than those spelled with "ou". "ou" (in la Métropole) is similar to the sound in English "do"/"too"/"sue"/"shoe" etc. while "u" is similar to Standard German long "ü"/"üh" like in "Lüge" but the German one is relatively reduced and isn't quite as frontal/strained/constricted.

'a' is not pronounced like 'en' in french

I think it could be spelled rendévou though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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 🤣

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

But sometimes words in English have silent Zs like in the word "rendezvous".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Rendezvous isn't even that bad. What really grabs my goat are the pronunciations for colonel and choir.
