Pronouncing the president's name

The President of Mexico, that is.

Vicente Fox.

How do Mexicans pronounce his surname?

ar-BOOS-toe :wink:

Damn. Here I was ready to type in a long string of swear words, only to find that you’re referring to a legally elected president, not ‘the pretender’.

On Univision Noticieras, they pronounce it phonetically.

Vee-SAIN-tay.

Bee-SAIN-teh.

Um, “Fox”, (roughly) rhymes with “hoax”. (You did say surname, right?)

No,no – I mean Fox. Is it pronounced like “fox” in English? Or is it more like “Foss”? Or something else?

[sigh…]

Just say “folks”.
