The s from "allons" combined with the "y" sounds like a zzzz. Al (like the boys name, short for Alfred) lone (like alone/loan) zee (as in Zider Zee!)
(Mme
al-loan-zee)
To pronounce "Allons-y," you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the word "Allons." Pronounce it as "ah-lohn" with a slight emphasis on the second syllable. The "ah" sound is similar to the "a" in "car" or "father."
2. Move on to the "y" sound after "Allons." In this case, the "y" sound is pronounced as a long "ee" sound, similar to the "ee" in "seen" or "bean." So, it would be pronounced as "ee."
Putting it all together, "Allons-y" is pronounced as "ah-lohn-ee."
To pronounce "Allons-y," which is a French phrase commonly used by the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who, you can follow these steps:
1. "Allons" is pronounced as "a-lawn." The "a" sound is similar to the "a" in "fall" or "ball," and the "lawn" sounds like the word for a grassy area.
2. For the "y" at the end, it is pronounced as "ee." Think of it as the sound you make at the end of the word "ski" or the beginning of the word "yes."
So when you put it all together, "Allons-y" sounds like "a-lawn-see."
