How do you really pronounce Forgejo? Like, I wanna say it's like a Spanish kind of thing like "For-gheh-hoh"?
https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4
Now that I know I just wanna Note that is the worst Name in existence, gitea > forgejo and After listening to the audio i immediately received the immediate wish to just throw myself right under the bus
Though gitea is admittedly also a pretty bad name. Is it "gitti" (like tea), or "git-e-a"?
It’s clearly intended to be “git tea” given its little cute signin page, “git with a cup of tea”.
But yeah my boss calls it like “git taya” and I feel like an idiot trying to say “gitty”[-up!]
So you hate other languages?
No I hate the stupid Name
You realize that it's just the word "forge" in a different language, right?
Aight I didnt know that but its still kinda awkward i think and most people are gonna go with „foarge-joe“ Which is also.. lets say interesting..
Oh wow, it's right there isn't it.
Rhymes with “pendejo”.
😂👌 gotcha
the other response is correct (i have my Complete Esperanto book right next to me as i type this) but for the common folk around here: essentially like
for-jay-ohThanks!
It’s [edit: inspired by although that explanation feels pretty lame to me] Esperanto. The correct spelling should be “Forĝejo”.
Pronunciation is like the English word “forge”. J is pronounced like English “Y”, so “ejo” is a-yo.
IPA: fɔɹd͡ʒejo.
Perfect, thank you!
I pronounce the j as an r and no one can stop me.
every time i read it there's a violently mexican man that pops into my head and shouts FORCHEHO SEÑOR and starts furiously playing the guitar as the rest of the mariachi band dances onto the stage
Brilliant ❤️🇲🇽💃🎸🪇🇸🇪❤️
