Learn some French, people
I don’t know why Americans pronounce it has “NO-der DAYme”
Chief
Ironically, American English pronounces French loanwords more closely to the French pronunciation than British English speakers. E.g. "herb"
The school: “noter dame”
The school, but for boomers “no tra dame”
The church “no tra daaaahm”
Yeah I went to the university. I know what it means
GO IRISH
And I learnt Pret a Manger is Pret a "maunge"
Chief
There’s no noun to modify the verb in pret a manger, so it is mahn-zhay! If you were to say ‘he/she/they eat’ then it would be maunge sound
Chief
Dame as in "Day-m" follows typical English pronunciation of words with an e at the end, e.g lame, frame, etc.
Dame as in "dah-m" is an approximation of the French pronunciation.
Either is fine for English speakers.
Daaaaaammmmm
