@magasum Yes. In french we spell it « yogourt ». For us, « u » doesn’t sound like in English, but like the « ü » in German or Turkish.

@Caroline-Quebec thanks a lot. That explains everything to me. But the English speakers don't, do they?

@magasum Yogourt (we don’t pronounce the t) is the French word for yogurt. In France, they say yaourt and they pronounce the t. Here in Québec, it’s written in French and in English on packaging. I don’t know for other provinces. Why did you write « That explains everything to me »?

@Caroline-Quebec thanks. because it did, but I just wanted to make sure. I meant it like that you explained it clearly and I got the point, but I wanted to make sure if we both meant the same thing. 😁

"Yogourt" is a valid spelling in Canadian English, and you'll sometimes see it used on the packaging of Canadian yoghourt products. Many brands still use the American spelling "yogurt," however. I think the American spelling is probably more popular in English-speaking Canada in general, but you'll see many people spell it as "yogourt," "yoghurt," and "yoghourt" (myself included) as well.

From what I understand, the spelling "yogourt" was intended to be a valid spelling for both French and English, so that it would save space on packaging, so companies wouldn't have to write both the English and French translations of the word.
