The LV Pronunciation Thread

[luvmybags]

Vernis = Ver-nee
(the "ver" sound is the same as "very", not "laverne")

L'Aimable = Lay-MOB (hint of an "L" at end)
Instead of MOB, it's an "Lay-mm-ahb" with the "L" at the end


I'm french. Sorry.

Nothing to be sorry for, thanks for the help!
If anyone knows that any are wrong, please chime in.

Thanks for posting this info. I was always curious how to pronounce most of these LVs.

Ka- bahs Piah-no
But don't draw out the "ah in Piano. It's more of an inflected "no" than "ah"

Popincourt is difficult to pronounce if you don't know how to make the french sounds.
Poe-pin-coor
"Pin" sounds like how you pronounce the "i" in the word "Interesting" like and "ieh"
And Court is pronounced "Coor" like Coors Light, without the "s"
And without the harsh "r" sound at the end... Coor, with a soft r.

Haut is the same french sound as Haute as in "Haute Couture"
Almost like you are calling someone a "ho" but bring your tounge to the roof of your mouth in a soft "t" at the end of the word.


Ack.
Hope this is helpful and not more confusing.

I'll leave it to you because I'm useless when it comes to describing a sound in english... I end up condusing everyone... like once I tried to explain "creme brulee"... ush:
