How do you pronounce courgette?
Is it a hard g like get or a soft g like giraffe?
This is one British word I had no idea existed.
It's the /ʒ/ sound like the s in measure, vision, or the J in the French Jack. So the word is /koːʒɛ́t/ It's from the French word courge.
Well the word itself does look french when looking at it so just by that going with the french way of pronouncing it makes a lot of sense.
