This is correct.

It's French OP. meaning "ready to eat". Really not that complicated. Did you take any languages in school?

Whatever you say, don't say pret a manger to rhyme with danger!

But that’s exactly what I would say.

There is confusion about the pronunciation because of the "a" which is obviously a vowel. Typically you would not pronounce the "t" in "pret" but since it's followed by a vowel you make the elision.

This is correct.

Please don't pronounce the 'n.' It's a nasal "mah-zhay".

We're not supposed to pronounce the t either.

11:21 - YES. If not for the a, I would not pronounce the t. Like you wouldn't pronounce the Ts in merlot or petit verdot.

Many years of french and I thought it's a soft Jay sound not a zhay sound?
