Prononcé

Prononcé is a French word that translates to "pronounced" in English. It is most commonly used in relation to spoken language, referring to the way words are articulated and sounded. This can include aspects such as stress, intonation, and the clarity of individual phonemes. For example, one might describe a person's accent as having a strong or soft pronuncié, indicating how distinctly or heavily certain sounds are produced.

Beyond linguistics, the term "prononcé" can also be employed more broadly to describe something that is clearly evident or strongly expressed. In this context, it suggests a noticeable or emphatic quality. For instance, a color might be described as "très prononcé," meaning it is very vivid or intense. Similarly, an opinion or emotion could be considered "prononcé" if it is stated with great force or clarity. The specific meaning often depends on the context in which the word is used, drawing from its core sense of being clearly sounded or made apparent.
