What is the pronounciation of bonsoir?

The pronunciation of bonsoir is:

bon-swa

Here's a breakdown:

* bon is pronounced like "bon" in English, with a short "o" sound.

* soir is pronounced like "swa" in English, with a short "a" sound.

The "s" at the end of "soir" is silent.

So, the entire word is pronounced with a rising intonation, starting with a soft "bon" and ending with a slightly stronger "swa".
