I dont speak french so please tell me how to pronounce the surname of this french composer.
thanks
The pronunciation would be fall between the pronunciation of the English words "lie" and "lay"--neither the one nor the other. It would be closer to "lie," though. I doubt if the first name would be Francis, however--it might be, but François is more likely.
Well, Francis Lai is pretty well known around here. (Lots of Francis).
The pronunciation of his name would be like in "laid" without the d.
The "ai" in French is pronounced like the English "ai" in pair.
thanks. I thought it was "LIE"
