It’s pronounced like the Esperanto word it’s based on, forĝejo similar to English forge.

Never knew about Esperanto, but that was fun to learn about.

Next up: lojban

[–] Corbin@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Lojban is so much easier to speak than Esperanto! We actually recently talked in #lojban on Libera about how to pronounce the word in question and our answer is something like {fordzeiio} if one likes the slinkuui semantics or {fordzei'o} otherwise.

It can still be pretty Euro-centric but it’s awesome to be able to communicate with people from any number of countries at the same time.
