thelurch Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Feel a bit silly asking, but everytime I go somewhere that sells Aubiose, I hear it pronounced differently. Just when I think I've got it right I go to another retailer and they give a funny look when I ask the price of it. Aubiose : "OR BEE OSE" or "OR BOYS" or OR BI OZE or something different altogether? ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 OH-BI-OSE with the stress on the 'OH'. The 'au' should be 'oh' (as in aubergine). Or you could just ask for 'a bale of that horse bedding, please'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelurch Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 OH-BI-OSE with the stress on the 'OH'. The 'au' should be 'oh' (as in aubergine). Or you could just ask for 'a bale of that horse bedding, please'! Trouble is most of the places Ive been have about 3 or 4 different types of horse bedding!

chelsea Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 OH pronounces it "ORR BOYS" and the shop keeper said "do you mean aubiose"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 If you look the i is before the o. Part of the name is often mispronounced as bois (or bwaas) when in fact its aubiose so its au -bi - ose and bearing in mind its French origins its most likely correctly pronounced oh - bee - ose as already indicated above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoura Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Redwing is right, since it's a french name it should be pronounced O-BEE-OSE (the first O as in AUbergine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
