Ummm... "eux" = them in French, so there is a very basic sound for "eu" in french.There is not sound in French approaching the "eu" of veuve, but the closest might be the o of of when pronounced "ov", if that makes sense. Â The final e of veuve is silent. Â
Second word: click is not bad. Â And the o sound is one sound, not diphtongated. Â It is a deep o, not an open o. Â Like when you say: Ohhh.

Ummm... "eux" = them in French, so there is a very basic sound for "eu" in french. Veuve cliquot is pronounced "vuh-ve cli-co"[/quote from above message from PHV ] Ooops, I meant, of course: there is no equivalent of that French eu sound in English. Â Eux in French is a different eu from the one in veuve. Â The lips are open when pronouncing veuve, more closed and rounded when pronouncing eux. I would discourage the pronouncing of the final e of veuve. It should end in a "v" sound. Â Unless, again, you want to sound like you are from Marseille or Toulouse.
ooo is not the right sound. It isn't the same sound as "vous".I am pretty confident you pronounce it like this:
Vooove Cleek-ot
Why are you wasting your time debating French pronunciation with a native French speaker?I am pretty confident you pronounce it like this:
Vooove Cleek-ot
