Does the word come from Frenchland, or did we(/they) put the weird J there just for the hell of it?


Frenchland??? ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused



It is where the French people live.


So, England is where the Engs live.
Following this logic, I wonder how is called the land of the Irish: Irishland? And for German people: Germanland???

"I pronounce it Al-you-min-ium

'Cause there's an 'i' next to the 'u' and 'm',
Now write it down slowly
And read it out fast"

It's Tam Brea(d) with dropped 'D' tuning (so to speak)

Like the title says, I'm not really sure how to pronounce the word genre.

I used to think it was "jen-re", but someone corrected me and said it was "djaaaan-er"
I got angry and came here.


that's a heavy load for us, really Smile  ... hopefully next time you come in with honourable intentions Big smile

I would say it's 'Jean Re' by the way

zhon-ruh, or more appropriately: zhän-rə

That first sound (zh) is like the middle of the word "measure" (meh-zhur).
