    Yup that’s what I said 😎

    Without joking, yes the S is silent so if we try to think with English language accent it could be written Pah-ree. Pah without pronouncing the H, more like how you say papa.

    And RI is, well yeah, ree. But with a French R, the one that is difficult to master as this sound does not exist in English.

      The s being silent is one thing but I find English speakers mostly struggle with getting the vowels and combinations anywhere close, even here I read this “pah” and I’m like “no way even 1/10th of them get that A right”, or indeed the “ri”.
