"Buffet" meaning in German

See Buffet in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /bʏˈfeː/, /bʏˈfɛt/ Audio: De-Buffet.ogg
Rhymes: -eː, -ɛt Etymology: Borrowed from French buffet. The spelling Büfett, preferred at least in Germany, represents the Germanised pronunciation in /ɛt/. Such a pronunciation has established itself in many words like Parkett, Kabarett, etc. In the case of Buffet, however, the French pronunciation has widely prevailed, which means that speakers now often pronounce /eː/ while reading and writing Büfett.
