No Way You Can Pronounce These French Words

Pronounced "pom-pluh-moose," the French word for grapefruit makes you think... maybe the English word isn't that weird after all!

Pronounced "cow-oo-chew," there is perhaps no stranger-looking word than the French translation for rubber, with a silent "c" and about 23 vowels.

Pronounced "bri-co-loge," with no direct translation, it means something between tinkering and crafting. What that actually looks like, we don't really know.

Pronounced "sa-per-li-po-pet," this is a famously silly French word for the exclamation "golly!" or "whoa!"

Pronounced "lou-fock," this French word for strange or quirky is perhaps, itself, quite strange...

Pronounced "gruh-lo-tey," the French sure do have a funny way of explaining that they're shivering. Why can't they just say "brrrrr"?

Pronounced "meer-tee," this French word may sound like "your mom's tea" but actually just means blueberries.

Pronounced "see-trooee," the French word for pumpkin really makes you wonder... do they think pumpkins are see-through?

Pronounced "flo-ray-zon," this beautiful word for bloom or blossom makes everyone feel like they're somewhere in the French countryside.

Pronounced "ser-yur-ree," the word for a locksmith has way too many r's, even for the French!
