Gouache is impossible to pronounce. No one has ever said the word in my presence. A4 mixed media paper.

minus-squareValmond@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoYes, this is how you pronounce it (in french anyways 😁), gwash/goash.

Also pretty close to Portuguese, just without the compensatory -e or -i that is used at the end of foreign words ending in consonants that cause a strong stop.
