Because that's the way French is, you usually don't pronounce the last consonant (unless it's 'c', 'r', 'f' or 'l') or an unaccented 'e'.Originally posted by fairlady_xoxo:Nope...just that i was wondering why it isn't pronounced directly as Jeh-tai-meh....

I got learn french as an elective in TP..lol..and the "Je" pronunciation very hard to explain in words unless someone say it to you..haha..but what you found was correct.."Je" is pronounced as "zhuh"..it should sound like the "sure" in "leisure" cuz "leisure" is pronounced as"lee-zhuh"..
And usually french words less letter not pronounced..that's why Je vous aime is pronounced as zhuh voo zem..notice in the "voo" pronunciation the "s" tone was ignored..but it's not gone, the "s" instead went to the front of "aime"..hence notice that "saime" is "zem"..hope I didn't confuse you..

Thanks peeps! I know how to pronouce it now haha...sure-tem

Ask Carpe Diem Jur lor - she French experdo! -
That's liaison. If the first letter of the word is a vowel or 'h', it takes on the sound of the last consonant of the preceding word.Originally posted by alleggerita:And usually french words less letter not pronounced..that's why Je vous aime is pronounced as zhuh voo zem..notice in the "voo" pronunciation the "s" tone was ignored..but it's not gone, the "s" instead went to the front of "aime"..hence notice that "saime" is "zem"..hope I didn't confuse you..
With 't'aime', it's elision. Same as above except that the last letter of the preceding word is also a vowel, so the dropped vowel is replaced by the apostrophe. -
Yeah!! True..haha..wow, you actually know that..I learn french also forgot the liaison and elision thingy already..Originally posted by Kuali Baba:That's liaison. If the first letter of the word is a vowel or 'h', it takes on the sound of the last consonant of the preceding word.
