I think Libre in general is an awkward sound for me

Why? Most people's last names are more cumbersome.

I've not heard it pronounced, but it seems some here are verbalizing it as lee-bruh. In my head it's always been lee-bree which is just an awkward pair of syllables.

Lee-bruh. I don't really see a problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Depends really. I say it this way, but talked to a Spanish speaker who said it was Lee-bree.

In Spanish it would be lee-bray

As a Spanish speaker, this makes me uncomfortable. Not saying you're wrong, just... English is weird

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I got this wrong, how would you pronounce it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I don't know, I'm not a native English speaker.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Lee-bruh

This is how I always sounded it in my head. Issue is, it sounds exactly like "libra"
