Marley
Marley is the French way to say the name of a person or a specific brand.
Did you know?
- When pronouncing Marley in French, the 'r' is often produced at the back of the throat, a sound known as the uvular fricative, which sounds much deeper than the English 'r'.
- When referring to Bob Marley in French, speakers often use the term le roi du reggae as a synonymous epithet in cultural discussions.
- Because French is a syllable-timed language, a speaker might give almost equal weight to 'Mar' and 'ley', avoiding the strong stress on the first syllable found in English.
Examples in context
- J'ai rencontré Marley ce matin.I met Marley this morning.
- Est-ce que Marley est là ?Is Marley here?
- Marley m'a envoyé un message.Marley sent me a message.
