How do you pronounce the word "vagine"?

Equal accent on both syllables (which sounds more fun), or accent on the last syllable?

• I assume it's like the Moroccan "tagine."

• vah-JEAN

• va-jeen

• My name is Jean Va-jean!

• r1 is correct. Accent on both syllables, but not va-jeen. The far more elegante pronunciation is vah-zheen.

• Go to :32 to find out.

• Rhymes with magazine.

• I've been pronouncing it "vadg-yne." Slightly more accent on the first syllable, now that I think about it.

  OP

• How embarrassing, OP! Hope you've only been saying it like that in front of a mirror.

• What the hell - it's a pussy for pete's sake!

• R10 Yes, but do you pronounce it "poussée?"

  Mrs. Slocombe, still trying to turn Mr. Humphries

• R9, I like pronouncing it that way. It sounds more fun.

  OP

• vah-jean-nay!

• Vagine is a state of mind, it's a knock, knock, knock on heaven's door, it's a cresting wave of liquid bliss, it's the season of eternal May, it's a vessel from an antique land, it's the answer and the question. Don't pronounce it. Be it.
