OP's an insecure jerk to mock someone for this and to waste our precious goddamn NEET time by making a post about it.... but I think he's saying that the final syllable shouldn't be dragged out like a ca moooooooo cow, which is fair enough.

I learned the pronunciation from the magnetic fields

>I could make a career of being blue
>I could dress in black and read Camus
>smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
>like a was 17
>that would be a scream
>but I don't want to get over you

lol love that lyric

It's well known that English doesn't have this sound

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_front_rounded_vowel

For Germans, it's "ü", for French "u", shows yet again what a poor language it is.

I dunno. Spoken Spanish with its 5 vowels is so much easier for me to understand than French that I can't help but feel that French is flawed because of its batshit vowels and pronounciation rules.

the C is silent

it's like you idiots never learned frankspeak

What, like liaison? It's not a hard concept to grasp.
In terms of intelligibility:

Spanish > Quebecois French > French > Mexican Spanish

Camus is open to interpretation on it's pronunciation, thus being philosophically deep and making all work written under this name instant masterpieces of literature.

>>5261802
"Camus" has a sounded "l". You actually prounce it "cam-els", like the animal.

>>5263007
what is that a dick under it's chin?

>>5261802
>pronouncing /y/ as /u/
>pronouncing the close front rounded vowel as the close back rounded vowel

>>5263052

Mexican Spanish is pretty cool just not fit for writing but some of those Mexican words sound nice due to the amount of syllables.

>tfw pronounce goethe go-eth instead of the retarded neanderthal german way

>>5263052
>Quebecois French > French

Camus can do; but, Sartre is smartre.

Though, Sartre is mispronounced in that rhyme.

did u guys no cows sound like moo in EVERY language?

Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a camucow coming down along the road and this camucow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo

>>5264966
camus is too

>>5265015
epic may may XD

It's not a true rhyme silly. Is a slant rhyme. Pronunciation is fluid and non-prescriptive. Reading old poetry is confusing sometimes because pronunciation is not static and many people read it with a modern pronunciation bias.

>>5264966
It's pronounced
Sar(dine)•tre(mbling)
and
Cu(nt)•me(ow)
for anglophones. Your language is the shittiest written language, as evident by your inability to comprehend /kamy/ and apparent bizarre need for spelling contests.

>>5265056
>cu(nt) me(ow)
it's not pronounced 'cummy' you moron

>>5265056
>cume

Protip: if you're going to make a really condescending post then you should probably double-check everything to make sure you didn't fuck it up

>>5265065

>>5265032
heh

>>5265032

It's pronounced CAHM-moose.
