I'm interested in how Americans pronouncebourgeois.
Boo shwa zee
Lol Idk I'm not a linguist, me probably from hearing it pronounced that way in media.
"DOWN WITH THE BOURGEOISIE!"
Seems like it comes from the French pronunciation? Idk man
Those are two different words. Bourgeois is an adjective describing the materialist characteristic of the middle class. The bourgeoisie is the materialistic middle class itself.
Ah I misread then lol
Boosh-E is probably more accurate then?
Or booshjie lol
"Fires two random arrows, both to the linguist's heart. Imagine if he tried!"
For fucks sake we say boozhwah or boojee.
Lmfao
My man
