The LV Pronunciation Thread

[sprinkles]

We pronounce it "Va-ketta" at the Coach store I work at.

I have taken French for nine years and I can confirm that it is pronunced, as star3777 said, vache-shet-ta. So yes, it's kind of like "voshetta")

Pronunciation list!

Vachetta - vauch-shet-ta
Damier - Dahm-yay
Vernis - Ver-nee
Trouville - Troo-veel (not Chroo-ville)
Petit Modèle - puh-tit mo-dell (MM = moy-yen) (GM = grAnd ...as in A in "fAther")
Batignolles (real French speakers, correct me if I'm wrong on this one, but my French instinct tells me it's) - bah-ti-nyol
Papillon - pah-pi-yon
Coussin - coo-san
Montsouris - mon-soo-ri
Nice - niece
Pochette Accessoires - poh-shet asses-swa (kind of hard to type pronun.)

Just felt like it! Those are my interpretations...if any of them are not the way they should be, please let me know!

Just wondering, how do you pronounce "cles"? Thanks

 

[Bag*Snob]

My SA says CLAY.

Don't know if that is correct.

 

[jane]

It is "clay." The French do not pronounce the "s" if it is at the end of a singular word.

The plural is cleses, and pronounced, "clays."

It is "clay." The French do not pronounce the "s" if it is at the end of a singular word.

The plural is cleses, and pronounced, "clays."

I'm French too, so ummm...I'm sorry, it's not CLESES for plural, that word doesn't exist

The singular form is CLE (some ppl also use CLEF) and plural form is CLES (meaning key and keys respectively)

Yes, it's pronounced "CLAY" as in....umm....rythming with PLAY lol

 

[amamxr]

[piperlu]

Good to know, I wasn't sure either.

 

[Lvbabydoll]

Out of habit, I pronounce the S at the end but yeah, it's "clay"

 

[slayer]

Yes, It's "clay" cause silly me rang up customer service and said "Cles" and they did not know what I was talking about.:shame: :shame:

 

[ArmCandyLuvr]

I figured it was pronounced like "clay", but it's like Illinois. You find yourself accidentally pronouncing the "s".

 

[vsminimoose]

How about: Framboise??

I think i have an idea but not sure.
