How to pronounce dengue?

With monsoon approaching, there's always talk about dengue. I often hear people say it differently. Can someone tell me the correct way to pronounce 'dengue'?

Oh, 'dengue' is pronounced 'den-gee'. Many people say 'den-goo' but the correct one is 'den-gee'. Important to know the right way, especially with mosquito season starting. Stay safe!

It's 'den-gee'. But more important than pronunciation is prevention. Don't trust WhatsApp forwards for remedies, just keep your surroundings clean and see a doctor if you have symptoms.

Pronounced 'den-gee'. If you're talking about dengue, it's vital to stay hydrated. And for recovery, once the doctor gives a go-ahead, light walks can help regain strength.

Hmm, 'den-gee' is the way to say it. If anyone in your family gets it, remember diet is super important, especially if they have underlying conditions like diabetes. Stick to what the doctor advises, especially about sugar intake.

It's 'den-gee', like the 'gee' in 'geese'. Just remember to keep your water coolers and plant pots empty, prevention is key. And if fever hits, don't delay going to the clinic.
