I think Libre in general is an awkward sound for me

Lee-bruh. I don't really see a problem.

Lee-bruh

This is how I always sounded it in my head. Issue is, it sounds exactly like "libra"

[–] SurvivalMariner@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Depends really. I say it this way, but talked to a Spanish speaker who said it was Lee-bree.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In Spanish it would be lee-bray

As a Spanish speaker, this makes me uncomfortable. Not saying you're wrong, just... English is weird

[–] SurvivalMariner@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I got this wrong, how would you pronounce it?

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I don't know, I'm not a native English speaker.

Why? Most people's last names are more cumbersome.

I've not heard it pronounced, but it seems some here are verbalizing it as lee-bruh. In my head it's always been lee-bree which is just an awkward pair of syllables.
