How do you pronounce Coquette?

Contributor: DreamWolf DreamWolf
I am not entirely sure and don't wanna cheat by looking it up right now, so am only saying that I think it is a French word, and in many languages it is pronounced as Co-kett, so I do the same...

I picked the first one. But after trying to say all the choices I'm confused at all of them. Too early in the morning to try this such of a thing

"Coquette" is of French origin, and thus I pronounce it as if it were French - the pronunciation at the bottom here, by McDutchie, is the one closest to mine.
