Obviously it's pronounced the same as the the "g" in "gigantic"

[–] Brokewood@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The second g in garage.

[–] Riven@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Been pronouncing it that way since Idea Channel :)

ʒaɪf ftw

I never realized how contradictory this word is. Thank you

I pronounce it like the "g" in "design"

[–] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I, too, subscribe to the Danish pronounciation of G

I'm pretty sure I've heard people pronounce gigantic both ways though lol.

Guy-gantick makes me thing of an Englishman.

Jai-gantick makes me think American.

You did, right now, after I already did. Check, mate.
