décalage

asked by lizzie. from her Psychology subject.

pronounced as /DAY ka lazh/ ---- and NOT /dE ka lidge/. This is due to its French etymology or origin.

Both Lizzie and I have said the word many times. We competed against the whirring sound of the old electric fan atop the counter. whirrrrr /day ka lazh/ whirrrrrr /day ka lazh/ whiirrrrrr tweeeeet (the bird outside made a scene. as in eksena kaayo!)
