That is an absolutely wonderful use of the word cache.
- arcticbull 6y agoYou're looking for cachet ("the state of being respected or admired; prestige") not cache ("hidden away for future use").
- clankyclanker 6y agoAlso not to be confused with Caché (apparently pronounced like cachet): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterSystems_Cach%C3%A9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterSystems_Cach%C3%A9
- Galanwe 6y agoI will be the picky one: Caché, cache, cachette and cachet have a different pronunciation. Cachet and cachait do have the same though. Same for caché and cacher.
- MiroF 6y ago> Caché, cachet I'll be honest I have no idea what the difference is between these two.
- arcticbull 6y agoOnes French, and is the past tense of the verb cacher, “to hide”
- MiroF 6y agoNo, I meant the pronunciation!
- arcticbull 6y agoHaha it’s should be the same - but maybe that’s because I learned French in Canada.
- Galanwe 6y agoIt's different, though maybe native English speakers will struggle because there is no equivalent of "é". "et", "è", "ai" are all pronounced the same. Similar to the "e" in "best". For "é" and "er" I struggle to find a definite English equivalent sound. Sometimes "a" is close, but it depends on the accent of the speaker. Maybe the best example is just the last "é" when pronouncing "Beyoncé" or "fiancée"
- MiroF 6y ago> "e" in "best". But I pronounce chachet nothing like the e in best. It seems much more similar to a french "é" This is how I pronounce it: https://www.google.com/search?q=cachet+pronunciation&oq=cachet+p&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j0l6.1266j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=cachet+pronunciation&oq=cach...
- Galanwe 6y agoThen you don't pronounce it well :D The link you gave me looks like someone with a strong English accent trying to pronounce French (which make sense for an AI)

- hombre_fatal 6y agoNo, it's someone speaking the anglicised pronunciation which is correct in English just like for the other 1000s of borrowed French words in English. Though you'll be happy to know that where I grew up in Texas, everyone tried to pronounce "croissant" the French way when (and only when) ordering one at a deli counter. But we weren't far from Paris, Texas.
