chelsea Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I thought it was O-BE-OSE (sounds like "hose") I just say to the people "you know that horse bedding stuff" and they get the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Anyone speak French? I would say oh-be-ose. I used to think it was au-be-ose, but last time there was a thread on this subject, I''m sure we were persuaded that it should be oh-be-ose. I just point and say "2 bales of that please"., and the chap always says..."I don't know how to pronounce it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 French A level is now a distant memory, but I am sure it should be pronounced Or -be - ose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but DD's OH is half French and he says the french pronunciation would be something in between oh-and or- So I guess it doesn't really matter. Either would get the message across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchlayer Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 yup or-be-ose or oh-be-ose would perfect, but you need to say it in your cheesiest inspector clueso accent. definately not aub-was-ee haw he haw he haw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 When I first bought it from the horsey shop, I pronounced as I would back in my school french class (especially since it is a french manufacture). Anyway, the man looked at me as if I was mad and hadn't got a clue what I was talking about. When we finally established what I was after he said you want "Oar - boys" (oar as in rowing). Now I'm sure that's wrongly pronounced but to get what I want, I have to ask for Oar-boys now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Raspberry in French is framboise, so given auboise is French I thought it would sound like oh - boise? just a guess. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
