clwcain Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 is how it has been pronounced by every RSC trained actor I've met. FWIW ;) ETA: While the French pronunciation looks and sounds good at first glance, recall that the Brits often pronounce the "t" of a word ending in "et", e.g. valet, which the English pronounce "val-et" not "val-ay".

RoughCollie Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Great. Thanks a lot. I was afraid I was going to have to keep talking funny to my son all day: What's in your pock-ay? Where's my wall-ay? Still, he would not agree with me that the word was pronounced Capu-let until you fine ladies chimed in. All the kids were waiting with bated breath to see what you would say. And for a teaching moment: the correct word is bated, which is a contraction of abated. I just looked it up to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Gotta stay perfect, ya know. :001_smile: Thanks again, RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 oh well, it may be because I'm French speaker, but I've always heard it as 'Capul-ay' No idea how Shakespeare would have pronounced it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
