Capoue

[MR_BEN]

How is it SUPPOSED to be pronounced?
I always read it as ca-pou-way but the sky commentators say it Capp-ou.

Been bugging me since the palace game.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

It's Ca-pou.

There's no accent on the 'e' like Eboué.

A very short 'oo' sound as opposed to 'ooo', kind of like a gorilla sound as opposed to an amazed sound at a magic trick.

Aren't the u and e meant to be silent so it would pronounced Capo?

This.

Although Jamie Redknapp and Hoddle insist on calling him 'Capooey'

Hoddle lived in France, presumably had to learn French and should know better, tbh. It's Ca-poo.

By far the best example I've heard (although a gorilla amazed at a magic trick would be interesting to hear)

 

[mickdo]

Ka-poo

 

[absolute bobbins]

French translator says Ka Poo, that's ding dang do for me.

All we need now is a semi original chant for him

Ask Pleat if you're unsure. Meantime you can call him carpool.
