Cheveux
"Cheveux" is a French word that translates to "hair" in English. It is a plural noun and refers to the strands that grow on the human scalp. For example:
"Elle a les cheveux longs." (She has long hair.)
"Il se brosse les cheveux chaque matin." (He brushes his hair every morning.)
It's worth noting that in French, "cheveux" is always used in the plural form, even when referring to a single hair or a strand of hair.
"Cheveux" is pronounced as "shev" (like the English word "she") followed by "uh." The "v" sound is pronounced as a voiced "v" sound, and the final "x" is silent. So, the pronunciation is approximately "shev-uh."
Here's a breakdown of the pronunciation:
"Chev": This is pronounced with the "sh" sound like in "she" followed by "ev" pronounced like "ehv" with a slightly open "e" sound.
"uh": The final sound is a schwa sound, which is the most neutral vowel sound in French, similar to the "uh" sound in the English word "about."
Putting it all together, the pronunciation sounds like "shev-uh."
