I and anyone I’ve heard say the word says it the same as the English pronunciation in this random video I found searching for how to pronounce it. For whatever that small sample size is worth.
In most American dialects and some British dialects, “bore” and “tour” rhyme (called the “pour-poor merger”). But in some dialects it may rhyme with “sewer”/“two-er” or have the same sound as in “blue” or even as in “were”.
I’m actually something of a job creator myself. Last week at the grocery store I didn’t return my cart to the coral. They had to pay someone to go out and bring it in!
Those are two different words. Bourgeois is an adjective describing the materialist characteristic of the middle class. The bourgeoisie is the materialistic middle class itself.
I’m interested in how Americans pronouncebourgeois.

Boogers please. We ain’t no uppity frogs.
as long as the French get offended by the pronunciation, then it’s pronounced correctly in American
I pronounce it bore-zhwah. Is that wrong?
Feel like that’s as correct as we can get, as Americans.
French pronounce the “ou” as is “tour”. But you do you.
Bore rhymes with tour… no?
Bore rhymes with tore. Tour is closer to sewer
I’ve never heard anyone pronounce “tour” as rhymes with “sewer” in English. Perhaps in other languages?
Closer to sewer, or “doer” or “fewer”. Compress it to one syllable. Think “ooh” not “ohh”.
I’m not… correcting you, I’m just explaining that I never hear anyone pronouncing tour such that it rhymes with either pronunciation of sewer.
Maybe you’re pronouncing sewer in thinking of a person who sews instead of sewer as in waste drainage.

Tour as in tu- er or tore? I’ve heard it pronounced both ways here in the states
Whoa what? I’ve never heard anyone pronounce tour as tu-er. At that point you might as well slap an umlaut on that bad boy
A more aggressively American pronunciation would be bore-geo-is.
Borzshwah
I personally pronounce it fahrenheit
“job creators”
I’m actually something of a job creator myself. Last week at the grocery store I didn’t return my cart to the coral. They had to pay someone to go out and bring it in!
Boo shwa zee
Why?
Lol Idk I’m not a linguist, me probably from hearing it pronounced that way in media.
“DOWN WITH THE BOURGEOISIE!”
Seems like it comes from the French pronunciation? Idk man

Ah I misread then lol
Boosh-E is probably more accurate then?
Or booshjie lol
“Fires two random arrows, both to the linguist’s heart. Imagine if he tried!”
For fucks sake we say boozhwah or boojee.
Lmfao
We just say bourgeois
Bourxjeauxaseaux
‘Boojz wah’, or if I’m feeling silly bourguignon. But I’d probably be more likely to use ‘middle class’ instead of the French.
