Brand New - Deja Entendu


Recommended Posts

Everyone seems to be pronouncing it Day-Juh On-Tonn-Dew.

 

because that's how the french would pronounce these french words, no?

Maybe?  I've never heard "entendu" used in a film, show, or conversation.  Déjà [vu] is pretty much a given, but I guess "the E word" has never come up outside of my fellow Brand New friends.  Maybe we're all pronouncing it incorrectly.  I'd actually find that pretty amusing, if it were the case.

Not at all. It's very difficult for me to explain how to pronounce it phonetically because English doesn't have the right sounds for "dé" "en" "ten" and "du". Deja would be closest to des-zsa (As in zsa zsa Gabor). Entendu is tricky because "en", "ten" and "du" are pronounced differently in French. But "du" is not pronounced "dew" - it's closer to "dzue". "En" is like "on" but don't drag the n sound. And "ten" sounds like the French word "temps". 

But, I can tell you for certain that it is not Day-Juh On-Tonn-Dew.

I didn't watch that Kess video, but who is that chick, his girlfriend? If so, let me Eiffel Tower dat wit you bro. Hopefully it's your sister and you are super creeped out by that.

Chill on this shit. I know you guys are just busting balls but don't be creepy, she's an innocent bystander.

Fair enough. But, just know you sound fucking silly pronouncing it so wrong.

You hail from a land where ketchup flavored chips are a commonplace snack yet we're "fucking silly". Are you Scott? ;)
