'Carnation' is an English equivalent of 'oeillet giroflé' [Dianthus caryophyllus].

The masculine noun 'oeillet' means 'carnation'. The masculine singular definite article is 'l'* [the'], and the singular indefinite article 'un' ['a, one']. The masculine adjective 'giroflé' means 'clove-like'.

Together, they're pronounced 'uh-yeh zhee-roh-fleh'.

*The masculine singular definite article actually is 'le'. But the vowel 'e' drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe: 'l'oeillet'.
