minus-squarethatKamGuy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoI wouldn’t assume someone who writes bone petite would know that the second “t” is near-silent, so I went with the phonetic emoji alphabet version. 😅
minus-squareluluberlue@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agofrenchy here : the second “t” isn’t silent at all, you’re confusing it with “petit”, the masculine version, where the second “t” is indeed silent.
minus-squareEvkob (they/them)@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoI think they were saying the second “t” in appétit is silent (which it is), not the one in petite.
minus-squarethatKamGuy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoI understand; I said “near-silent” because I don’t know of a better way to describe it (diminished? unemphisised? 🤷🏻♂️) Mind you, my experience with French is mostly limited to Duolingo and Google Translate - and could very well be wrong.

minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 months ago“Bone apple tea” is often used as a meme to reference malapropisms like this, so that’s probably how you’ve seen it used… However, it originates from someone actually making that mistake and someone making a subreddit about it.
