forge-hoe?
On the official page it says that it is pronounced For Jay Yo (at least close enough)
For gay hoe
Fuhgeddaboutit.
4G-O, like a Star Wars droid
I hope that someday they decide to add the diacritic to clear up the confusion (Forĝejo (/forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is how it's supposed to be pronounced). It's 2024, there's no reason we should be afraid of non-ASCII characters.

I use an American layout and don't have a numpad :(
On screen keyboards exist for you monsters who think ditching the numpad is acceptable behaviour
How does one actually read these? Wouldn't phonetic spelling be infinitely more digestible?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English
This is phonetic^1^ spelling. The only good one.
^1^ Actually phonemic. Don’t kill me
Is anyone able to read IPA without that key? This is where I get lost. It's an entire new language for a very specific thing so I can't imagine anyone but language scholars finding it useful
The ones used for English? Sure. When it comes to other languages I certainly don’t know all of them though.
Though, that is at least partially due to me learning English as a second language so I’ve looked at these a lot in dictionaries.
yeah I can read without the key, it's not that hard, and it's not a new language, it's just a script that unambiguously maps phonemes to "letters".
There's no universal "phonetic spelling."
Every language and its user have unique accent and they will intreprete phonitic spelling differently.
There is one, it's called the IPA or International Phonetic Alphabet and is used mostly by linguist. The IPA spelling changes based on dialects within the same language and if you know all the letters and are able to pronounce them you could in theory read a text written in IPA and the listener could understand it.
I don't see a reason to spell it phonetically when it is a real word (forge in esperanto). A phonetic spelling would also only be more digestible to readers who know the language the phonetic spelling is tailored at (phonetic spelling is language specific as different languages use different ways to represent different sounds).
ĝ is simply the english sound of the consonants in the following words: "john", "gem", "jar". And j is pronounced as the y in "yes" and "yoink"
The diacritic would clear up confusion, because "g" without the diacritic has different sound (like the g in "gamma", "girl", "go" in english). The diacritic as a bonus would also makes it clear that it isn't supposed to be pronounced it as if it were in english, because english does not use the ^ diacritic. It would also extinguish my annoyance at seeing a misspelled word being used as a trademark.
A phonetic spelling would also only be more digestible to readers who know the language the phonetic spelling is tailored at
Indeed, it would be digestible to 1.5 billion people instead of 100k.
I pronounce it "that gogs fork with a dumb name".
That "dumb" name is just name in another language 🫠
An invented language that hardly anyone uses. More people speak Welsh then Esperanto and it's exactly as useful.
That gogs' fork's fork with a dumb name.
Forgejo is a gitea fork
But yeah, name shenanigans aside, it's pretty solid. I like it a lot
Awesome phonetic illustration. You should do a dictionary.
Forge-joe
It rhymes with orange.
I know it's officially for-hey-oe, but I always say forge + joe cause I find it easier. I used to say "forjo" (like "forge" ending in an "o", or "for joe" sped up) as well.
For-hey-ho
I pronounce it as in Esperanto, I speak it
Jes tio estis ankaŭ mia unua intuicio sed mi ne certas ĉu ĝi fakte estu Esperanto aŭ la -ejo estas nura koincido?
Redakto: laŭ https://forgejo.org/faq/ jes sed la intencita elparolo estas tamen "forĝejo"
Forge, yo
Forge, yo Mr. White!
I just do the Swedish accent thing and pronounce it forge-yo (like in yoyo, not the greeting proclamation)
I pronounce it Forgejo.

Don't try and start these pronunciation debates online. It might seem fun but sooner or later the chickens will come home to Rust.
According to their FAQ, they say it's supposed to be pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ and provide an audio clip: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
To me that sounds like "for-jay-oh".
I thought it was a play on "forge", I was wrong.
It's the Esperanto word for "forge", according to the FAQ.
For-jail-o?
damn, soft g + not a silent e + German j.
I would've pronounced it forge + Joe before this. would have only gotten a third of those things right.
For-geh-ho
