No it's pronounced "Krah-sahnt

>>9096405
It is in French, yes. But unless you do the correct French pronunciation for every French origin word in English saying "kwah-saun" makes you sound like a try-hard. Just say krassant.

>makes you sound like a try-hard

Why do people think that this is a bad thing?

American here. I'll pronounce foreign words any way I want to. Sometimes I'll even purposefully mispronounce words, culinarry and otherwise, in horrendeous ways just to see if the prissy bitch-made waiter/waitress has the gall to correct me. Why? Because as an American, I don't have to follow your rules. Because my ancestry for the past 300 years has slid their girthy and lengthy dicks down the throats of every nation on this planet that has the impudence to hold their linguistic nuances above my superior language.

I've earned the right to call a Croissant whatever the fuck I choose to.

Be sure to get a bit of phlegm in the "r" for bonus points.

typical burgers. This is why your government fucks you up the arse

>>9096405
No one cares.

Nope. Try since 1956.

take the laughter directed at you as fuel and use it to learn some basic fucking french.

Trying hard isn't a bad thing. Trying hard to give off a false image of yourself is. Using French pronunciation for some French words and not others shows that you only care about appearing cultured rather than imbibing culture. Also, the same people who's go to great lengths to correctly pronounce a few French words will also proudly mispronounce Indian dishes or Thai dishes.

When it comes to pronouncing food, I generally pronounce it the American English. If I am speaking French, then I will pronounce things the French way.

By doing what, being a NEET and posting on a ukrainian speak-and-spell enthusiasts forum?

No.

The /r/-sound in French is different than the /w/-sound in English.

>>taking an obvious joke this seriously

>>9096405
Just pronounce everything as incorrectly as possible, even the words you would normally know like baguette. It will seem like you're being ironic and everyone will think it's hilarious. It's what I do whenever I go to a french restaurant.

The french language is a liberal hoax invented to make me feel dumb

>>9096405
Just say it however you want to. They know what you are talking about, and even if you were fluent, the French will still correct your pronunciation. You will never make a frog happy when you speak their language.
