</I>&gt;<i> I never thought of that pronunciation. So I'm trying to think of how you
</I>&gt;<i> would naturally say it in French. Would it be something like 'ma-zsh-ah'? (I
</I>&gt;<i> obviously don't know proper phonetics)
</I>
Well, as a French speaking, I pronunce it the French way. In French,
when it's followed by a &quot;e&quot; or &quot;i&quot;, the &quot;g&quot; is a soft &quot;g&quot; as in
&quot;magic&quot; (though we have no &quot;d&quot; sound before the g in French). It also
the kind of sound you have in &quot;Asia&quot; for the &quot;s&quot; (though it might
depend on the kind of English you speak I think).

So, you would pronunce /ma.&#658;e.ja/ (remember that /j/ is not the sound
you have in &quot;jelly&quot; but the sound you have in &quot;youth&quot;, just like the
German &quot;j&quot;).
To compare, I think in English you would pronunce /&#712;m&#230;d&#658;&#603;j&#230;/
That's not written the same way in phonetics, but it's actually quite
similar except for the /d/ sound in English.
