Actually this is what I do. Personally, I don't really know how to pronounce words well, that doesn't mean I do not understand what the words are.
People should not make fun of this.

Nope.. nasal sounds in french needs some sounds to come out THROUGH the nose. Practically, if you have runny nose, you can't speak french.

I think our Hokkien Peng standard is higher now... can say " M & C"
So many of them wearing super Big "D & G" belt on the road.

Was at the Chandon winery in Yarra Valley and was told that the correct way to pronounce "Moet" is with the 't'... as in "Mo-ate"....
Reason being the origins of the the Moet founder Claude Moet was Dutch and not French. Hence there is no silent "t".....
Ahhh.. I found the problem. The correct writing is Moët. See the little two dots above the character "e"? This is called the Trema, and the function is to separate two vowels which comes together. Thus, the pronounciation would be "mo-eh". Must be careful in writing french, since lack or wrongly placed sign will result in a totally wrong pronounciation.
Claude Moët is dutch, that is correct. But the family name of Moët is actually french, since it was a replacement of his actual family name which was LeClerc. The name Moët was a gift from the king of France (Charles VII) for his anchestor's dedication to the french king.
Btw, in Dutch "oo" pronounced the same as in "book" or "shoe". Thus, Moet should be pronounced "MooT" if it was a dutch name...
Thus I think we can close this thread

It is very interest to know, this is one good about forum discussion.
Close this thread?? I am not sure if Nitro Tech has any thing to add.
He has been to the ground and the ground people told him/her other wise.

hehe.... No lah got nothing to add..... Then again, the vineyard I went to was not the one in Champagne but the one at Yarra Valley (Domaine Chandon).... so maybe the guys there were not sure as well...

So which is right???? i'm confused.....
"Various pronunciations of Moët exist, including 'Mo-way', 'Mow-ee' and 'Mow-ett'.[3] However, according to any French dictionary it is pronounced without a "t", with the exception of it being following by a vowel. i.e. in Moët et Chandon it is pronounced 'Mo-wett'.
The "French pronunciation" argument above, whilst often used, is a distraction from the real reason that 'Mo-wett' is the correct pronunciation. Claude Moët founded the champagne house in 1743. He, although French, had a Dutch name, and therefore the hard "t" is pronounced"

say M-C or M-See at Kopitiam and you will get Milo C or Milo See (Milo with Carnation Milk) like Kopi-C or Teh-C?
