They make it rather easy by providing an audio pronunciation: https://forgejo.org/static/forgejo.mp4

With my American accent, I don't quite say it exactly like the recording, but pretty close: "for-JAY-oh"

This is probably a personal problem, honestly. The spelling is hardwired to short-circuit away from that pronunciation in my head, meaning every time I have to type it out I have a pretty big mental split.

It would actually be easier for me if it was in Cyrrilic or Greek letters, Форджеьо or Форджеджо or Φορτζέγιο don't have the blockers on pronunciation that Forgejo does.
