minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·22 days agoPeople will complain about that but not look twice at “rendezvous”. I don’t think that I’ve ever heard anybody pronounce “chaise longue” correctly. It’s “shay long”.
minus-squaredave@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·22 days agoActually (pronounced acktschually) it’s ‘shayz long’ The ‘s’ is usually only silent when it’s the last letter of the word.

minus-squarenyctre@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·22 days agoWhy do you say that? It’s just chez long. At worst it’s like chez long-uh. So it’s really just a different accent more than anything. Also, the word is french not english so…
