I am not a native speaker, but the two words do not sound even remotely the same.
How does this mistake happen so often? Can you explain people's thought process a bit? Is it just: "Something something 'seg...' ... ah I know, I will simply use another random word that starts with the same 3 letters and doesn't make sense in this phrase!"?
Also this is the first time I see it.
- roryokane 2y ago> the two words do not sound even remotely the same Pronounced correctly, “segue” sounds just like “Segway” – not like “seg-oo”, as you might have assumed.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoTIL, thanks! You are right, that I assumed it would be like "seg-oo".
- girvo 2y agoThe two words are pronounced identically.
- nightpool 2y agoWhy would you opine on the way the words are pronounced if you've never seen them before and clearly did not take the time to look them up at all?
- tomjakubowski 2y agoSegue is borrowed from Italian, the "ue" is a diphthong like English "way" or Spanish "güey"
