I'm curious now too!!! ------ Imaan in Sydney, NSW. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavourable. Favourable conditions never come.

Vintage Joan Intermediate Member since 7/16/07 Posts: 9224	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 5/17/10 10:49 PM In French it's pronounced sort of like Jah-LEE -- except the "j" sound isn't "j" as in English. It's like the sound at the beginning of Zsa-Zsa Gabor's first name. (sorry, no audio) .....Oh wait, I know how to explain it (thanks, Wikipedia!) -- that sound (written as ʒ in phonetic symbols) is the same as the sound at the end of the word "beige." -- Edited on 5/17/10 10:55 PM -- ------ my shield and my very great reward (Gen. 15:1) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ http://clearingclearing.weebly.com/

Kaelha   Advanced Beginner MN USA Member since 2/12/09 Posts: 104	Login to reply to this post Like this post Subject: How Do You Pronounce Jalie? Date: 5/17/10 11:43 PM So the way I have been saying it "Jay-Lee" with an American "J" as in Joe, is incorrect and Jah-Lee with the "J" pronounced with French accent as in Jacques, is correct? By George I think I've got it! I hope lol
