Hi all,
I have a little doubt, english is not my mother language either my boss, but this is the language that we use to communicate each other and my question is how to pronounce Facade in english?
I say fakeid
My boss say faceid
And some people say fasad

Sorry if this topic is stupid

Cheers
JC

The word comes from the French language, literally meaning "frontage" or "face".

[rusteberg]

"the face of that there building" if you're from Texas.

faça if you're from Turkey

If your my girlfriend ----- fa-kade.

Linguistically speaking though --- fa^sod is correct.

[tom]

If your my girlfriend ----- fa-kade.

[Bubbaloo]

If your my girlfriend ----- fa-kade.

If I'm his girlfriend, pronunciation of architectural terms is the least of my problems.

A girlfriend named Bubbaloo ? ... perhaps it is I who has the problem. You flatter yourself though -- as if you ever had a modicum of chance.

OK, I'm going to have to stop this conversation in it's tracks right now.

So... just saw/heard the Black Eyed Peas for the first time on American Idol. Damn they SUCK. Why are they so popular? Guess I'm getting old.
