I think this is Italian...? How do you pronounce 'san souci'?

Question

please spell it phonetically so I can be sure to pronounce it correctly...

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

It's French, not Italian and is spelled sans souci.
It's pronounced Sahn Soo see.
The ahn is pronounced through the nose, i.e.,
it's a nasal vowel.
The expression means without worry or without a care.
It gives rise to a French pun: Sans sou çi =
without a sou here= flat broke!

Answer 3

There's more than one San Souci (just take a look with Google and Wikipedia), and anyway not Italian, but generally is "sun soosee" (stress on last syllable)

Answer 4

It's French. Its correct spelling is "sans soucis (in the plural). It means "without cares/worries/problems".

Say the English word "son" but don't pronounce the "n" + soo + see". Stress the last syllabe : so(n)sooSEE.

It's often used as a family name, spelled "Sansouci", "Sansoucie", SanSoucie", "Sansoucy.
