Hi all

Sorry this couldn't be further from on topic. I am looking for a
definitive pronunciation for the French word bidet.
This came up when I was repeating a car salesman's description to
an American.
The salesman used the adjectives skinned, winded and bidet to
describe a car. Think this is just a way for this specific
garage to indicate leather trim, air conditioning and rear wash
wipe

Anyhow, my American colleague didn't get the word bidet, as I had
pronounced it bee-day. Looks like the Americans pronounce this
bid-day with the emphasis on the second syllable.

Most people wouldn't give this a thought, but it's in the genes
for me as my father taught French and German, but is no longer
around to ask.

Anyone know of a source for the definitive French pronunciation of
their language? Maybe it changes depending on region. I tried
looking in French ngs but they are spammed out of
usefulness.

Thanks

Phil
