Pronunciation of "MOET"

[Blue]

For those who speake some French...when I was a kid I mis-pronounced MOËT....my father always said think of a seagull son (homonym in French)

btw, the two dots over the e change the pronunciation of the VOWEL (makes it open) but it does also have an effect on the consonent. T's in french are sometimes silent and other times not, and it is true that T's after "ë" are never silent while "..et" is pronounced like "..er" or "é" and "..ent" at the end of a verb conjugated in the third person plural is completely silent. So you are both right, main thing it does is change vowel but it does also have an indirect affect on the consonant following the vowel.
