How do you pronounce 'croissant'?

[ClaudiaWankleman]

It's probably the only word that I can feel myself thinking about pronunciation as I begin the sentence. There are so many different pronunciations.

1. The French way - my preferred way as I do speak French quite well. Nonetheless, I doubt myself, especially if I'm in the company of people I don't know very well. Will I sound pretentious or silly?
2. Cwoss-ont
3. Cwass-ont
4. Cross-ont
5. Crass-ont
6. Cwazz-ont
7. Cwozz-ont
8. Any of (2)-(8) with an 'ant' sound at the end instead of 'ont'.
9. Another pronunciation

And yes, before anyone says it, I could've used IPA to write these pronunciations. But I haven't, because I don't want to and I'll enjoy any misunderstandings which arise in the comments.

Number 3. Certainly not the American way 😯

That should be 3, but with a silent T

Number 3 🥐

None of your suggestions as I never pronounce the 't' at the end.

That's option 1 - the French way.

1. Cwoss-ont when abroad

But cross ont when in the UK to be understood!

Cwuss-on

4, because I feel stupid saying it the correct way.

No 3 without the t.
