Hey Rondo........where you been man!!! Cool seeing your name pop up. Are you all moved yet????

QUESTION:

Could you spell this word....so I can correctly prononce it in French???


trompe l'oeil

Thanks Rondo........Neil

Hey Neil!!

I was 3 weeks on vacations, then between finding a new job, a new house and negotiate quitting the previous job, not much time for chopping...

I'll be moved in September, but I'll try to move at least the legs of my cray table (the unplugged crazy table will be built with whatever wood I have in the garage, I mean shop :p it will go faster this way).

for the trompe-l'oeil, I've put here

a wave file with it (so you will not say it in French with my Brazilian accent).
it is easier than reading the pronunciation.

hope it helps

Rondo.........beautiful man!!!!!

Really appreciate the audio, got it!!!

I'm going to say... "two-play-a". Now I have to practice. Saved the audio to my desk top and I'll be click'in it, so be prepared if I answer the phone with.... "Trompe l'oeil"

This forum is getting to sophisticated, what a varied group!!! COOL!!!

Thanks Rondo........Neil

hey Neil, are you building a wooden trompe-l'oeil?

try this:
trom (as in trombone)
pe (as in dope)
l (an "l" sound)
oe (this phoneme /œ/ does not exist in English, you'll have to get it from the audio...)
il (more or less as in oil)
