Strange...I'm American and I've always pronounced it Me-Lay. Perhaps there's a bit of English in me after all, eh?Eerors said:Both ways are correct. U.S. English say May-Lay. U.K. English say Me-Lee.

C'mon, use the phonetics in the dictionary.JackandTom said:I've heard it said two ways but I wanted to know what was more common. Personally I say it like Me Lee, like its spelt but what about you guys?
Yeah, totally. I'd ask someone who isn't French what the proper pronunciation of a French word is...J03bot said:Meh-lay.
Though there's really only one way to find out how to say it properly. Find the Queen, and force her to say it. That will be the correct pronunciation.
