Subject: Sia's last song

just a little clarification

chandelier

it isn't pronounced like in the song ' chandeli li li é ' ( ' chandeleleleé " but ' chande lier ' the ' ier ' is important
the liaison is important. So at the end it should be " chan*de*lier *"

[> Lauence, that is how we pronounce chandelier in English too. Many English words come from the French (as English we know was originally made up of a combination/fusion of Old English (Anglo-Saxon), and the old French from the Normans. Some words we say the same as in French, but just not as charmingly.. -- Cece, 12:33:03 05/15/14 Thu [1]
