How do you say?


Update: Thanks to Anonymous commenter, and then others, I now understand the mysteries of the universe. Or, at least, why my statcounter went from 0 to 60.
Here's the cartoon that's blowin' me up with its love.

Also humorous: this blog is the first hit if you Google "mais non" (en anglais).

...........

Since 17 of the last 20 hits on my blog have been people googling "mais non", let me explicate:

Mais = but
non = no

mais non = but no [en français, évidemment]

(Not to be confused with maison - house, or maisnon - i.e., um, me.)

The reason for their googling lies here.

yes, but how do you PRONOUNCE it? that's what we're all searching for

Ah, so.

mais is pronounced like "may."

non is a little harder, maybe something like "nunh."
