It is not stylish to say Elejent...

The word "elegant", meaning fine or luxurious, seems to trip many Germans up, there being a tendency to pronounce the "g" as a "j". Were it followed by an "e", this mistake would make more sense. Regardless, fight the urge and pronounce the "g" as you would in the word "go" or "get". Now, go get elegant.
