Can someone tell me how to say Houellebecq? I've heard even French people say it completely differently.

>>10762817
"me"-"shell"
"well"-"beck"

>>10762555
This trips will not go unnoticed

>>10762238
...dumbass?

>>10763816
As accurate as you could be with english phonemes (it's really close, but you should try say it flatly, not "well BECK"), and I'm a native french.

>>10761998
Scooby doo can't do do, but Jimmy Carter is smarter

Also, the final "s" in Camus should not be pronounced, and the a is not the a in "ale" but more like in "car". And I think the "u" does not exist in english like that, but it's close to german "u" with an umlaut

>>10761998
>rhyming "sartre" with "smarter" instead of "fart" in a british accent

It's kuh - mee

>>10761918
it's cah-myu

>>10763893
No "y" you unilingual moron

>>10763852
>native french.

Duhloozeyguattarhee

on the topic of pronouncing authors' names, how the fuck do you say sartre
is it "sart" or "sar-truh"

>>10764231
Sart
To be really accurate, the "art" should be closer to "ought"

I pronounce it Alber-camue. Is that autistic?

>>10761918
>she doesn't pronounce camus as kay-maos

>>10763837
Dumas

>>10764234
sought-truh with the truh really really barely pronounced at all

>>10762238
I just realized this is Holden

these sort of threads always prove that english is an inferior language

>>10766269
I just thought that every name should be pronounced in it's original language, Don Quijote should be pronounced in spanish, constraining it to any other language is bound to ignore something key to the native tongue

>>10762817
I aint yo houellebecq gurl, i aint yo houellebecq

ooooo, its my shit, its my shit

Salem, Salem, white whip, white whip

Fucking tard, off yourself.

>>10761918
If she's talking Camus with you, she's not going to fuck you, ever. Trust me.

>>10766965
gert-uh is the correct way to say it

>>10767029
If she's talking with you, it's probably out of pity

> she has five different editions of Infinite Jest

> she pronounces George Orwell as Gee-ohr-geeru Ohr-wee-welleru

>>10767087
If she's looking at you, it's probably just so she has a good description for the arresting officer.

>>10767170
If her arm brushes against yours, you're no longer in stealth mode, she's seen the camera and she's calling the police

>>10762238
Ball-sack

>>10767204
If she smells your cologne from a few feet away, she can obviously infer that you're a sleaze trying to get in her pants and has cause to have her bf total you.

>>10767254
If she says she'll check it out later, she means she'd rather take the next flight to Syria and join ISIS than read another poem of yours

/lit/, it needs to stop. I see so many threads on here where you guys discuss how to pronounce something and you spell out retarded shit like "ca-moo" and "kay-mwee", as if there is any regularity between english orthography and phonology. Learn IPA for fuck's sake.

It's [kamy]. Not that I expect your monolingual pea-brains to comprehend the vocalic /y/-phoneme, but at least if you knew IPA you could understand it's a sound that's not [u].

>>10767282
"no"

>>10767263
If she doesn't want to sleep with you, it's likely because you don't meet her personal standards for mate selection.

>>10766618
Don Quixote you mean

>>10767295
if she sleeps with you it's because she's tired and she'll tell your mom if you share the bed with her

>>10767327
If you agree to let her sleep with you and she starts getting grabby, it's because women have no concept of bad touch and are monsters.

>>10766965
