minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down4·2 months agoPeople will complain about that but not look twice at “rendezvous”. I don’t think that I’ve ever heard anybody pronounce “chaise longue” correctly. It’s “shay long”.
minus-squaredave@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·2 months agoActually (pronounced acktschually) it’s ‘shayz long’ The ‘s’ is usually only silent when it’s the last letter of the word.
minus-squarezerofk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 months agoYou should hear how the French pronounce it. Can’t even recognise it as English anymore.
minus-squarenyctre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-22 months agoWhy do you say that? It’s just chez long. At worst it’s like chez long-uh. So it’s really just a different accent more than anything. Also, the word is french not english so…

minus-squareODGreen@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 months agoShez Long It literally means long chair. Not lounge chair. Nobody pronounces “bruschetta” correctly; it’s “broo-SKET-ta”
minus-squareJerkface@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoAn Italian told me off through the TV set and I promised never to say “broo-SHET-ta” again.
