suave (adj.) 
  
The pronunciation sometimes traps the inexperienced: suave is a monosyllable, pronounced SWAHV; SWAIV is sometimes heard, but it's jocular (愛開玩笑的) for Standard users, most of whom would consider its inadvertent use a shibboleth

shibboleth [shib-uh-lith] 

基督教《聖經》考驗用的詞, 口令或暗語, 特殊的習慣


see inadvertent
