    Default How do you pronounce "Requiem" ?

    Lol, I've had difficulty trying to pronounce this word.
    I'm not sure if it's a foreign word or anything, so maybe there is a fixed pronounciation, but let's see.

    I normally pronounce it: Rah-keem
    o.O

    If you have a different pronounciation, feel free to post it.

    EDIT: Looks like a lot of people are going for the "Qu" pronounciation. Lol then I'm way off. I thought the "Qu" was supposed to be pronounced as a "K" since I thought it had something to do with the French language lol.

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

    I hope to god that English isn't your first language.
    Also there is this cool little thing called a dictionary, and if you look up a word right next to it is the pronunciation 0.0! Cool right?

    See? Learning is fun!

    1 a: to ask the advice or opinion of <consult a doctor> b: to refer to <consult a dictionary>
    intransitive verb
    1: to consult an individual

    Unless you can talk to a dictionary, you cannot use it.

    Oh and, cyberchink has already showed me the dictionary definition.

    Example b shows that you can consult a dictionary. So in this case, consult means refer to.
