j/k. I pronounce it mu caw br. the last syllable is very subtle.
As close to the French as I can make it with my English-speaking mouth.
Technically, it’s pronounced /makabʁ/. A lot of people find that subtle final “r” sound to be hard to make, but that’s how I always pronounce it.
@DominicX I found it impossible to explain the French uvular fricative /ʁ/ to a friend of mine who was having trouble pronouncing “rien”. I can make the sound, but I cannot for the life of me instruct others on how to mimic it.
Exactly as @DominicX says. (How did you do that upside-down R?)
@Jeruba check it out you can find it on 02 latin ext b cont…
I just copied it from Wikipedia. :P
oh – well done, then – ♥ ♥ for you too
