How should you pronounce the word "rooibos"?

ˈrɔɪbɒs

Ask for redbush tea. You can also buy it at the grocer’s and make your own.

Audio clip of Afrikaans pronunciation

Rooi like coy, bos like loss.

Roo-ee-boss

Thankyou! Especially to @thorninmud the audio clip was exactly what I needed.

@Bent: Have you read the really charming novels by Alexander McCall Smith starring Precious Ramotswe, her female detective agency in Gabarone, Botswana and red bush tea?

The paperbacks don’t weigh very much and are a delight. No violence, no cruelty, no morality and no body image problems that aren’t resolved nicely by the end.

Start with The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.

ROY-BOSS

@gailcalled I haven’t seen those novels but I’ll definitely look out for them. Thankyou.

Edit; I meant to write “no immorality by the dénouement”
