How do you really pronounce Forgejo? Like, I wanna say it's like a Spanish kind of thing like "For-gheh-hoh"?

every time i read it there's a violently mexican man that pops into my head and shouts FORCHEHO SEÑOR and starts furiously playing the guitar as the rest of the mariachi band dances onto the stage

Now that I know I just wanna Note that is the worst Name in existence, gitea > forgejo and After listening to the audio i immediately received the immediate wish to just throw myself right under the bus

You realize that it's just the word "forge" in a different language, right?

[-] orochi02@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Aight I didnt know that but its still kinda awkward i think and most people are gonna go with „foarge-joe“ Which is also.. lets say interesting..

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Though gitea is admittedly also a pretty bad name. Is it "gitti" (like tea), or "git-e-a"?

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

It’s clearly intended to be “git tea” given its little cute signin page, “git with a cup of tea”.

But yeah my boss calls it like “git taya” and I feel like an idiot trying to say “gitty”[-up!]

Oh wow, it's right there isn't it.

😂👌 gotcha

the other response is correct (i have my Complete Esperanto book right next to me as i type this) but for the common folk around here: essentially like for-jay-oh

It’s [edit: inspired by although that explanation feels pretty lame to me] Esperanto. The correct spelling should be “Forĝejo”.

Pronunciation is like the English word “forge”. J is pronounced like English “Y”, so “ejo” is a-yo.

IPA: fɔɹd͡ʒejo.

Perfect, thank you!

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

I pronounce the j as an r and no one can stop me.
