How to Pronounce "Bugatti" in French
Bugatti, the renowned French luxury car manufacturer, has a name that often trips up non-native speakers. Let's break down the pronunciation to ensure you're saying it correctly:
The Breakdown:
- "Bug": Pronounced similar to the English word "bug", but with a slightly softer "g" sound.
- "atti": This part of the word is pronounced like "ah-tee". The "t" at the end is pronounced, but it's a soft, quick sound.
Therefore, the correct pronunciation of "Bugatti" in French is approximately:
Boo-gah-tee
Important Considerations:
- Emphasis: The stress is on the first syllable, "Boo".
- "G" Sound: The "g" is not a hard "g" like in "gate" but rather a soft "g" similar to the "g" in "gem".
- "I" Sound: The "i" in "atti" should be pronounced like the "ee" in "see" or "tree".
With a little practice, you'll be confidently pronouncing "Bugatti" like a true connoisseur of French automobiles.
