- DoreenMichele 8y agoIt is basically pronounced the same, or at least close enough for a German acquaintance to have the described misunderstanding with her doctor. I was trying to keep things succinct and not have to go on some long tangent about the different spellings in different languages. But you are correct. It is actually spelled different in German than in French or English.
- pvaldes 8y agoVery similar in spanish: ducha. More problematic are several terms from legal language that mean a different thing for spanish speakers
- DoreenMichele 8y agoThe English and French version are pronounced like doosh. The German version is pronounced more like doosha. Final e in German is not silent. It is a schwa sound. It looks like Spanish would be closer to the German pronunciation.
