"Luh sakr dyoo preh-taw" is the pronunciation of the French phrase Le sacre du printemps.

Specifically, the masculine singular definite article le is "the". The masculine noun sacre means "rite" in this context". The word dumeans "of the" from the combination of the preposition de("of") and le. The masculine noun printempstranslates as "spring".

The most famous use of the phrase is in the title of Russian composer Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky's (1882-1971) Ballet and orchestral work.
