In the sense of a person’s strong suit (he draws well, but sculpture is his real forte), the older and historical pronunciation of forte is the one-syllable [fohrt] pronounced as the English word fort. The word is derived from the French word fort, meaning “strong” (as opposed to the Italian [fohr-tay], meaning to play with more power.)

Considering the jobs she’s sending him on, I’m thinking that job placement is not HER forte.

This woman is an idiot! It’s like she never met a cat before or learned about them in school.

Maybe she’s employed by Business Pug, and told to give Cat special treatment.
