How do you pronounce these words:

1) Chassis

2) Coupe

3) Financial

4) Finance

5) Peugeot


The reason I ask is because I have studied in an American school and pronounce them in a certain way, but since I live in a multi-cultural environment (Dubai) where we have people from all over the world....I am confused about the right way to pronounce the above words....

I once heard a guy from India say Fenanshal rather than fine-an-cial so I really confused....and I would like to know the correct way of pronouncing the above words as per the American accent.

[Deathcommand]

1. Chassi (Or chassis if i'm feeling lazy)

2. Coop

3. Fi nan shall

4. Fi nanse

I don't know the 5th word. haha

Depends on the region of the US and the level of education that person has.

i grew up in the south so here goes:

1- cha she ( like saying "you see [understand]?")

2- coop (any self respecting southerner knows this is where chickens sleep)

3- fine aunt shirl (like a very pretty aunt named shirly)

4- fine ants (like saying "your aunts are pretty")

5- pew goats (like "man those goats smell!")

i'm canadian and i could pronounce them much the same as any american/canadian would (if i was to, it would be repetitive as the other reply did it for me)

Peugeot is an auto maker who got their start making bicycles and coffee makers if I remember right. It is correctly pronounced as a French word because it is derived from a French persons name (I don't remember right off hand, but the gentleman founded the company).

I am also Canadian, but I don't consider the way we talk the same as Americans. I also wouldn't put say american/canadian. I think we are a lot different then they are.

As for the pronunciations (I just want to put how I say them, even though I am Canadian):
1. Chas-ee
2. Koop
3. Fi-nan-shul
4. Fi-nans
5. I would pronounce it 'Pugo' (pronounced like Hugo), but that is probably completely off.
