Without joking, yes the S is silent so if we try to think with English language accent it could be written Pah-ree. Pah without pronouncing the H, more like how you say papa.
And RI is, well yeah, ree. But with a French R, the one that is difficult to master as this sound does not exist in English.
The s being silent is one thing but I find English speakers mostly struggle with getting the vowels and combinations anywhere close, even here I read this “pah” and I’m like “no way even 1/10th of them get that A right”, or indeed the “ri”.
French here, we say Paris.
You’re welcome guys, call me anytime for more French pronunciation.
this makes me wonder if deaf people who read the captions on TV understand accents/pronunciation or if they just smile-and-nod
I don’t know, man. I watch a Parisian streamer ocasionally and he says Pah-ree all the time.
Is there a woosh community?
Yup that’s what I said 😎
