I’ve never even thought about the English sounding equivalent until now.

And now I don’t think I’ll ever be able to NOT think about it. God damn it.

[–] wholeofthemoon@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is it not more like Bon jaw?

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bon jewr

[–] nightdice@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Depending on the accent, it may also be closer to bong jewr

[–] tycho@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What? There is no hard g sound afaik.

[–] shuzuko@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

It's more trying to indicate the tongue placement - an N sounds different depending on whether you place it at the front of the tongue or back of the tongue. Back of the tongue is much more nasal, which is frequently associated with French accents, and could sound almost like an "ng" sound to someone less familiar with nasal pronunciations.

There isn't, but in some regions of France the accent makes it sound like it

I miss the "bone apple tea" subreddit. That and "boot too big" were constant sources of slightly stronger nostril exhalations.

[–] gingernate@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

He boot too big for he god damn feet!

[–] Kjatten@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

Sorry. Meant to say "It's French for hello, I'm a dumbass"

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Le speech? What the hell is that?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's French for die langue

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Which itself is German for de taal

[–] MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Replace it with Éloquence and then you've got the perfect meme
