How do you pronounce "jbovier" ?

[JTMartin]

Gonna go to a shop that sells them in a couple of days and don't want to sound like a moron. Is it pronounced like it's spelled or what?

[weleetkaoutlaws]

As I understand it....

J Beau-Veay


...and the French translation is...

"Chop 'til you drop".

[Lee]

And all this time I thought it meant "The Eastman" in French.

[sgarrity]

Iff'n I was gonna say it, I reckon it'd be Jay-Bo-Veer. Just like in France, Europe! #

But most likely it's J Bo-vee-ay

[dan@kins]

Its means Cowherd in French. J Bovier = J Cowherd (or Jeff Cowherd).

[cbarry]

As in bovine, I guess.

[sgarrity]

I should have thought of that. The Bouvier des Flandres is a cattle herding dog of Flemish origin but with a French name.

[JHo]

Its means Cowherd in French. J Bovier = J Cowherd (or Jeff Cowherd).

That's clever.

[blacksmith]

Just like Guiseppe Verdi. Joe Green if he had lived over here.

[leathermarshmallow]

I hadn't thought of that. These are supposed to be Jeff's babies.

[Jim MacDaniel]

Its means Cowherd in French. J Bovier = J Cowherd (or Jeff Cowherd).

A direct translation of Je Bouvier would be "I, herdsman", so I suppose that suggests Jeff herds mandolins.

[MikeEdgerton]

The J is silent isn't it?

[JTMartin]

Oh boy I should have seen this coming. Its gettin' hard to tell where the real stuff stops and the BS starts. Anyway I called the shop and just asked. (they won't know who I am that way) Its official...the correct way is JAY beau VEEAY. Thanks guys that was a hoot!
