hmm...i think it's "oh- da- goo-wha",coz in french, they pronounce "t" a little like "d" and "k" similar to "g".

I am sorry birking but it's not that way.

First of all in search of didn't write the name properly, she made the bag feminine, but it should be masculine.

This is how it must be written:"Haut à courroies".

Consequently, the "t" is mute. It is there but you just don't pronounce it.

So the pronounciation is more like missbabydolce's.

I would say it's: oh ah koorwah.

(I am french)

But I hope not. I know that ka-ka in certain European languages has rather icky connotations. Think baby talk and the need to use the bathroom.

Are there any accents at all on cacahuette? That would give a better idea how to pronounce, except that on English keyboards I can never invoke any of the accents or circumflexes.

Is it because it's late for you down under, have you been at the cough syrup, or have you been at the booze??

It ain't a kookaburra call that's for sure.

Ok, I better go

before I get sofa king

too for hijacking the thread.

trama turgo · Oct 4th, 2006, 08:09 AM

Mmmmm..... I would say: "kaka wet"

(Don't worry about the baby thing, no strange meaning if you don't leave that "kaka" part alone. Just always remember to pair it with something else

)
