2007-05-04 11:02:09 · update #1
1 = mé pe-ti-te
2 = mé za-mi ( the z before amis is the s who belongs to mes you have to pronounce it !!! )
3 = ex- ku-ze moa
4 = dé-klasse
5 = vré-man ( but you mustn't pronouce the N at the end !!!
I hope you understand but i'm french so for me it's normal !!!
the final = ma ché-rri

It seems that everybody got 'excuse moi' wrong, assuming it was 'excusez moi'.
So, excuse moi is pronounced ex kuz mwa. ex (as in my ex-boyfriend) kuz (try to make a French u by rounding your mouth) (no ay sound after the z sound) mwa.
As for ma cherie, it's ma shay ree.
For all the words that have an r in them, try to practice the French r. It comes from the throat and the back teeth, and is a much harsher shound than the American r.
Good luck!

1) may pehTEETS (my little ones)
2) may zaMEE (my [girl] friends)
3) ex-kooz-a-MWA (pardon me)
4) day-clah-SAY (penalize or bring someone/thing down)
5) vrayMAHN (really)
A couple of hints: every syllable of a word tends to get an equal emphasis except the last one which is emphasized (written in caps)
The last letter of a word is rarely pronounced
