Answer 1

In English it's pronounced like REV-uh-lee, though the word is French and is pronounced differently in French.

Answer 2

The french word is actually pronounced ruh-veyll. The first is is pronounced like a 'u', and the double 'l' is pronounced like a 'y'.

Answer 3

ree valley if you're using the word in the English sense of waking up the troops. If you mean the French for alarm clock, then it's pronounced revay, approximately, or 'God, is it that time already?'

Answer 4

depending on where you're from it can be pronouced as:


REV- uh-lee : with the emphasis being on the REV

or


ri-VAL-ee : with the emphasis being in the VAL.




Just a small point. If you want to know how to pronounce a word look it up in a dictionary.
