I am French and the S is pronounced, thanks. (Yes, it wouldn't be normally, but names are a lot of exceptions and names as Enjolras are names I only seen in Hugo's book).
His face when he says "Enjolras" is the cutest, I can't stop replaying that part. He is just too beautiful. It kind of sounds like they're saying "Angel" but in an accent and that fits because Aaron is an angel.
Thank you! I truly appreciate having that cleared up. I was usually pretty good with my French pronunciation, but it has been about a decade since I've taken a French class, so I'm sure I could use the refresher!
i've been saying on-jol-res forever cos my american english teacher always pronounced it that way oops - should've realised it sounded way different to it's spelling considering all French words usually do!
Spoke to my teacher;who is French, on the correct pronunciation, and you do say the s...so Aaron is spot on here. Usually in French you don't pronounce s', but Enjolras and Marius are 2 names that are exceptions to the rule :)
Enjolras is my favorite character from Les Miserables. I don't know what it is, but the way Aaron Tveit portrayed him in the movie made that character truly spectacular.
Finally! I never knew how to pronounce it. I went through phases: first it was en-jol-es then en-Je-ois then en-rol-as. But I'm just like "PRAISE THE LORD!"
Can't wait for the film to be released in the UK!! :) he sounded excellent from what I've heard and he's proper fit which Hugo made sure readers didn't forget in the book!
Merci! This clears it up :D Thanks, really, I'm always happy to learn! Another question: Which syllable is it stressed on? First or last? EN-jol-ras like he said or En-jol-RAS?
After i watched Les Mis for the first time and began to do a bit of research into the characters I googled how to say Enjolras and this video came up and thats how I fell in love with Aaron
His voice is seriously never disappointing, save for a few exceptions, but everyone's entitled to an off-day. (Though Aaron's are just far less frequent than an average person's :P) When he was growing up, all anyone could talk about with him was how absolutely STELLAR his voice was.
That moment when you finally figure out how to properly pronounce it, because you're used to German dialect where "j's" have a "y" sound. Glad to know how to say Enjolras correctly.
Feel so bad! Enjolras has always been my favorite character and I have been butchering his name for YEARS!! whoever said it sounds like he is saying "on your ass" I cracked up so fuckin bad!!!!
Ah my saviour. Playing him for my high school show (im a college student but i got asked to come back to help out) now i wont butcher his name constantly
I'm ashamed of myself for how emotional I got over the hotness of this guy.... I'm playing the part where he says anjalras for the first time over and over and over.... Must.... stop.....CAN"T
Why is he so attractive?
I am French and the S is pronounced, thanks.
(Yes, it wouldn't be normally, but names are a lot of exceptions and names as Enjolras are names I only seen in Hugo's book).
thanks for that info, i wondered about that
Same, thanks haha and I cant stop laughing X"D
Could it be because he's from the South? People tend to pronounce more letters there, don't they?
French class with Aaron
His face when he says "Enjolras" is the cutest, I can't stop replaying that part. He is just too beautiful. It kind of sounds like they're saying "Angel" but in an accent and that fits because Aaron is an angel.
1:10 cutest laugh EVER
"Well, no, I took Spanish, so I was lost while we were filming it!" LOVE that part. :P Very helpful, I always seem to get that name wrong.
The best part of that awesome interview... What a beautiful smile. I love him
Am I the only one who got chills when he started singing
I agree with Aaron. I took Spanish as well, and it's so hard to sing or speak in French
awww as a french speaker this does not sound french at all but he's so cute for trying :)
He has actually just left left me speechless. He is that amazing. And then he started singing.
Aaron, why did you have to look right into the camera when you sang "Marius, you're no longer a child!". Now my heart's missing.
He's just so adorable and everytime I watch this I can't help by smile like an idiot
Merci beaucoup, Aaron.
If you ever read the book, Enjolras is described as "angelic" about a thousand times, so it's definitely appropriate = )
awwwww! his laugh is so adorable!!
Thank you! I truly appreciate having that cleared up. I was usually pretty good with my French pronunciation, but it has been about a decade since I've taken a French class, so I'm sure I could use the refresher!
i've been saying on-jol-res forever cos my american english teacher always pronounced it that way oops - should've realised it sounded way different to it's spelling considering all French words usually do!
I've always pronounced it parisian (as in: with a silent s)
The S is next to a vowel so it can be pronounced
Now I can stop butchering the name 🙌
Thank god this exists, I've been mangling "Enjolras" for years.
Aaron Tveit is perfect
Spoke to my teacher;who is French, on the correct pronunciation, and you do say the s...so Aaron is spot on here. Usually in French you don't pronounce s', but Enjolras and Marius are 2 names that are exceptions to the rule :)
I’ve never had the slightest clue how to pronounce that name, so thank you!!!
Thanks for clearing that up indeed!! He's adorable!
I love his voice
Omg he's th hottest thing ever!!
Thing?? oO
+L0stHope he is too perfect to consider a human ;_;
i could just watch him talk all day
Enjolras is my favorite character from Les Miserables. I don't know what it is, but the way Aaron Tveit portrayed him in the movie made that character truly spectacular.
I had to keep rewinding to the part where he sings "Marius, you're no longer a child". Ungh.
Finally! I never knew how to pronounce it. I went through phases: first it was en-jol-es then en-Je-ois then en-rol-as. But I'm just like "PRAISE THE LORD!"
Nice to grow up in France because i can say it right :D
+LindseyStudios I grow up in Chile and i can say it too
Awww its so so cute when he makes the french sound
Can't wait for the film to be released in the UK!! :) he sounded excellent from what I've heard and he's proper fit which Hugo made sure readers didn't forget in the book!
Merci! This clears it up :D Thanks, really, I'm always happy to learn! Another question: Which syllable is it stressed on? First or last? EN-jol-ras like he said or En-jol-RAS?
I love Aarons voice:)
I am literally in love with this guy and I havn't even seen the movie yet! D:
"like that french thing.. AHNN" omg i love aaron tveit so much
cant stop playing 0:49-0:58 just to hear his voice when he sing.
1. I love his shoes. 2. His voice is magic. 3. He's gorgeous.
After i watched Les Mis for the first time and began to do a bit of research into the characters I googled how to say Enjolras and this video came up and thats how I fell in love with Aaron
Kind of bummed that the full episodes aren't being posted here anymore. The broadway.com player can be a bit iffy at times :/
His voice is seriously never disappointing, save for a few exceptions, but everyone's entitled to an off-day. (Though Aaron's are just far less frequent than an average person's :P) When he was growing up, all anyone could talk about with him was how absolutely STELLAR his voice was.
Yes thank you! That's how I say it and it makes me mad that no one else seems to!
I thought the 's' was silent?
this is going in my favourites- just, oh my god. no words
In this case, I'm quite sure the "s" is pronounced. It's rare in French, but it does happen. (I mean, "Marius" for example already uses the s)
Ahh Aaron Tveit
You're not alone. My face hurts from smiling so much. :-D
He's an angel sculpted by the gods. Perfection.
wish i could find that old tumblr post that remixed this clip into a song
This hurt Aaron stahp I love you
I find it really sweet that this two names are exception. Just like they are exceptional characters ;)
Wow how good does he sound
Shouldn't the 's' at the end be silent? Pronounced more like "on-zhol-rah"?
In the movie then they didn’t put the one he says Ma(r)ius like french, that’s a pity
THANK GOD. I've had no idea how to say his name for about two years.
I’ve been saying it right all along I’m so surprised
I love how he says Marius
oh my god i've lost my count on how many times i've watched this and i swear i nEVER GET TIRED OF THIS MAN
I love this guy!!
He is the most precious thing on the planet
I just cant get enough
i watch this everyday. no joke.
he is so pretty I want to cry
I love the face he makes at 0:23
I'm physically incapable of watching this without grinning like a loon.

"It's like that French thing" haha I love him x) But seriously though, as a French myself, I was really impressed with all the actors' pronunciation.
If you didn't die when he said, "Marius, you're no longer a child," then you're not real.
He's so adorable!
his laugh always kills me
Ah my saviour. Playing him for my high school show (im a college student but i got asked to come back to help out) now i wont butcher his name constantly
I love himmm
HE IS PERFECTION OHMYGOD
BAAAAAHHHHH WHY IS AARON SO ADORABLE I CAN'T EVENNNNNN
this video helped my life
for Polish like me Enjolras is very easy to pronounce :)
AARON TVEIT IS LIFE
I've ALWAYS said it that way!!
I've pronounced it En-jor-is and I'll forever say it like that
It's Awn-zhol-rah actually
Ahah ! I'm french and yet I still have difficulties to pronounce it properly ! And the way he says it with his lips thing is really sexy !
this is literally hurting me. he's so perf.
I thought the 's' was silent my whole life has been a lie
I fucking love him
Heeeee' sooooo haawt! He play Tripp in Gossip Girl
Aaron, you're too perfect.
I'm ashamed of myself for how emotional I got over the hotness of this guy.... I'm playing the part where he says anjalras for the first time over and over and over.... Must.... stop.....CAN"T
This helped me so much though. I took French and yet......
Since this dude is on Broadway ............... He should b in phantom of the opera playing Raoul or phantom
I've been pronouncing it more Spanish (like on-yol-ras)
ive always said it the correct way. maybe thats because my cousins and aunty are french or i took french in school but yeah :)
I still can't bring myself to pronounce the "s"
i cant be the only one who says it like Ehnjohlrass
aaron tveit can teach me french pronunciation whenever he wants
oh my......
I always thought the 'S' is silent.. But well, I know nothing about how to pronounce French in the first place.
***** if it was spoken in a parisian accent, it would be on-jol-rah, but enjolras is from the south of france, therefore, the s is included
He is great! *-*
It's scary how many times I've watched this...it's beginning to be a problem.
