minus-squareOwl@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 days agoThe “oo” in “foo” is written “ou” in French Thus foo -> fou “Feauxeaux” would be pronounced “fozo” (‘o’ as in “cold”)
minus-squareRustyNova@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·7 days agoYes, but it’s “oh”, not “oo” (as in football) So it’s read “foh-oh”. If you want to be correct, it’s “Fou - barre - base” (“foo - bar - baz”)
