how do you pronounce "Marans"?

[key west chick]

Is it MAR-ans, with the emphasis on the MAR, or is it Ma-RANS, like, mu-RANS? Or even MAR-ins?

 

[Schultz]

We call it MAR-ans(pronounced like mair ans) , but have heard it pronounced many ways.

 

[NicoleRM]

Emphasis on the "rans."

 

[Illia]

I always say Mu-RAHNS. (emphasis on the end syllable, and with a pronunciation like the A in Car.)

I don't think I could count on that as accurate. Each word has its pronunciation dependent on the rules of its origin.

 

[HHandbasket]

And don't forget to pronounce the S! Marans is still singular.

Depends on whether you want a French or English pronunciation.
