Pronounciation by fluffy_lobster on 02-08-2004 at 05:43 PM

Hmm, just wondering, Patchou, Fraisie and all you other french people, how do you pronounce "Messenger Plus!"?

Do you say it the english way or plus as in the opposite of moins? :P

I'd guess Plus is so universal it'd be Messager Plus!...where the only change is Messenger = Messager....I'm just making a guess though…it could be Messager Avec!


RE: Pronounciation by KeyStorm on 02-08-2004 at 06:07 PM

hm... Méssanger Plys!?


RE: Pronounciation by fluffy_lobster on 02-08-2004 at 06:09 PM

I'm sure they don't change the words, I'm just wondering how they pronounce the u.


RE: Pronounciation by KeyStorm on 02-08-2004 at 06:16 PM

Like the french plus word (yes! plus exists in french :O): it's actually the "y"-sound, but I'm afraid there's no such sound in English...

If you know German there's the Ü vocal, that's it: Plüs

The most similar sound I remember is the U in amuse

Anyway, they possibly pronounce it the English way...

Well Patchou's online... let's see :p

we pronounce 'messenger' like in english, but with the french accent xD and plus just like '+' in french, keystorm made a good description of it ^_^


RE: Pronounciation by zappy004 on 02-09-2004 at 01:32 AM

hehe i prounounce the messenger with the english accent
but the "plus" like...
not: "ploss"... more like: "plüss"
if you speak french, prounounce it that way: russe, luce, autobus, anus...

lol thats really "québécois"
we often say expressions and other things like that:
Messenger (english way) Plus (french way)

I learned french some years ago, not very much but enough for me (Barcelona is 100mi - 160km from France border)

Je peut bien imaginer comme sonne l'anglais avec accent français.

(I can clarly imagine how English sounds with French accent)


RE: Pronounciation by lizard.boy on 02-09-2004 at 02:35 AM

everybody i know says it as messenger as normal and plus as in 1+1


RE: Pronounciation by Fraisie on 02-10-2004 at 04:38 PM

When Patchou and I talk about Plus (which is like... always!!!), we say Plus, not as Ploss but Plüs...  The "u" sound in french doesnt really exist in english :)
