Pronunciation of 'Musa'
Just out of curiousity, is it pronounced MOO-sa or MYOU-sa.

Re: Pronunciation of 'Musa'
If you pronounce it as a Latin word, it would be Moo-Sa. However, just about everybody I have heard say it, say Myou-Sa.
Here's a better one I posted some time back on the "other" forum. "Is it Bass-Jew, Bah-Zoo or Bah-Jew?"  |

Re: Pronunciation of 'Musa'
I had no idea that Musa was pronounced Moo-sah. I did however keep pronouncing Basjoo as Bass-joo but was trying to change my way of pronouncing it since someone on gardenweb said it was pronounced Bah-zoo. Now I still wonder what is right. Just because it is on the internet does not exactly mean it is written in stone, lol.

Re: Pronunciation of 'Musa'
I think Bah-zoo sounds cooler as in: "I've got Basjoo out the wazoo!"
But if it was Bah-jou, you could have the culinary delight "Basjoo Au Jus!" Ok, ok, back to my cave. |
