Yes, the Scots say the French é beautifully!!

I didn’t know that English are saying Ca-Fay!!! It reminded me of the name Elena where they say Eh-lay-na !!

I start believing that British stick an “ay” where they can Grin

My French teacher taught us that é is pronounced ay.

The teacher needs to brush up on her pronunciation!

@PatterPaws I’m not saying it’s correct, I’m just explaining why many people do it.

My French teacher taught us that é is pronounced ay.

Your French teacher was clearly not very good at teaching French Shock
