Bannon Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 So how is it pronounced?Listening to the news about his visit to the UK it seems we have several variations. This morning it was Sarcosy, then I heard Sarcossie, then we had Sarcozee, and finally...and this was in Radio Four of all places, I caught Sarcosky!French friends of ours by the way seem to split the name in three and pronounce it Zar co zee.Am I bothered? not really, just thought it might be interesting :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 i think the BBC staff have been getting lessons in how to pronounce it, because all i've heard is Sar-ko-zee, which is the French way, because they don't stress syllables like wot we do in English.
