Pronunciation of “œuf” and “œufs”?

Question

I heard the *œuf* in “un œuf” pronounced `/œf/`, but the *œufs* in “six œufs” pronounced `/ø/` (that is, without the `/f/` sound). Is the plural always pronounced this way? Is this just a special feature of the word *œuf*, or are there other words like it?

Answer 1

The plural of "œuf" is always pronounced differently than the singular: /ø/ (without the /f/.

It is part of the few exceptions in French and there are others. for example: "bœuf"/ bœf/ becomes "bœufs" /bø/
