Gaudette Sunday - pronunciation

[pax]

I have a quick and kind of dumb question. Could someone please post the pronunciation for "Gaudette" as in "Gaudette Sunday." I'm giving a reflection on Advent at the local Catholic school tomorrow and I should probably be able to pronounce the word.

Thanks a lot!

"Go Det", with emphasis on Det. "Det" rhymes with bet or get.

Thank you! I knew I could count on an answer in under 10 minutes if I posted here. Have a great night everyone.

Well, I'm not well-versed in ecclesiastical latin, but according to classical pronunciation guidelines, gaudete (lat. 2nd person pl. imperative, "rejoice") would be pronounced gow-day-tay ("gow" rhyming with "cow", etc.).

 

[GK]

Sorry. I should have read more into the post. "Gaudette" would be pronounced as I mentioned above. "Gaudete," the word the OP intended, is pronounced "Gow-day-tay."

Uh oh... hope pax reads this again before his presentation.

I hope so, too! I feel bad for going into automatic mode on this one.

I sent him a PM. Hopefully, if he wouldn't otherwise check here, he'll get the email notice.
