How do you pronounce force majeure?

The correct pronunciation of force majeure is:

forss mah-ZHOOR

Here's a breakdown:

* "force" is pronounced like the English word "force"

* "majeure" is pronounced with a long "a" sound, like the "a" in "father", and the "e" is silent.

It's a French term, so the pronunciation leans towards a French accent, especially for the "majeure" part.
