What is the plural of 'haricot vert'..how is it pronounced?

Question

please only the french and/or the culinarily capable should answer this....i don't care if you went to c.i.a. or johnson and wales -- that doesn't mean you can spell...i've known way too many chefs with culinary training who can't spell/pronounce their way out of a wet paper bag (ever seen emeril legasse?)

Answer 1

It's written haricots verts, but pronounced exactly the same.

Watch out if you're saying les haricots verts or des haricots verts you can NOT pronounce the s liason in between s_haricots.. I hope this is clear, if you can speak french you probably clearly get me, otherwise you must be confused, lol.

What i mean is you can't say somethine sounding like lez_harico...do you get me? Don't pronounce the s as you would if the next word started with a vowel sound, because it's a h (consonent) (there's two ways of pronouncing h's in french....but that's a lesson for another day, and i don't think i'd be able to write it, i'd have to be face to face)

Anywayyyyyy......in conclusion (!) it's just pronounced the same and written haricots verts.

Answer 2

1 haricot vert=ah-ree-koh vayhr

les haricots verts= layh ah-ree-koh vayhr.

As the first answer said, you don't pronunce the link between the "s" of "les" and the "a" of "haricots verts", but you don't pronunce the "h" either!
